XWindows Dock

[hesonly5]

I know there's quite a few people on here who use (and lurve) their Object Dock, so I thought I spread this baby about a bit.

 

XWindows Dock is created by a Russian Dude who saw Leopard's dock and has (pretty much) created an exact copy of it.

 

It comes with it's own stacks, live reflections (of icons only, windows is on the way), easy to apply skins, minimized windows (with Leopard Genie effect) and numerous customization options.

 

Be aware that this is still a very new program and is still in development - so expect bugs and random outbursts of random (although I've been using it for a few days and had no problems).

Works on Vista and XP... Just don't touch the docklets. They're still in development apparently and it spazzes the whole thing xD

To show just how very easy it is to customize, this took me about two minutes to change from the default you get with it (up there ^)

One question I've always wondered with these dock things...

 

What was ever wrong with the Start bar?

[Guest RB26DETT]

nothing. docks just look neater and remove the use for icons which clutter the UI.

[Nodz86]

I would do this but I have something similar for the Vista side bar

[ExplosiveGoats]

Just downloaded this and when ever I go over I get some kind of error.

 

 

E: How do I put skins and icons on this. I know how to do it on object dock but not on this...?

[Guest RB26DETT]

to change an icon, right click the icon and hit edit.

 

i'm figuring out how to change dock backgrounds too.

Same problem :(

E: I managed to get it running. There is a little black triangle above the start bar. Right click and : Voala!

When you first start it, there's no icons on it, it's kinda hard to see. It'll be in the center of yer screen at the bottom.

 

RB explained the icons... There aren't many themes out for it yet - as I said, it's only an early release. There's a couple floating about on GUI Forums (Galaxy GUI has two, RB - get on there). There'll be more about as the program gets better.

 

Also - sorry 'bout the images in the first post - I'll fix 'em now.

thanks roberta. i haven't been thoroughly searching GalaxyGUI, i spend most of my time in the iPhone/iPod Touch section on there. :p
