@EyesOfARaven:

It has been already open sourced, by me, in this forum. Not this program exactly, but everything required to implement it in your very own dock, if you are a developer.

I hasm one problem with it, and that's that it... Starts above OD, but when I tell it to go behind the DWM - where it was already set - it's fine. Weird.

This + Stacks makes my dock look awesome! Reflected dock, icons, text, and windows.

Thanks so much!

Test in Objectdock under Windows Vista Home Premium (SP1, x86)

All icons are reflected, even when I set the dock to display opened windows.

Edited: double reflections are because I am using icons with build-in reflection already.

Is there any way to get the cursor reflected in this?
(No cursorfx, I'm not paying to make my cursor ugly )

[matonga]

@Phoshi:

It wouldn't look reallistic, because the reflection apperas under the icons, and the mouse cursor over them.

[Phoshi]

...true, that.
Any fix on the always apearing above my dock thing?

[matonga]

Which dock are you currently using? (RocketDock, ObjectDock, RKLauncher... ?)

[Phoshi]

Objectdock.
And by above I literally mean it's higher on the screen.

[matonga]

The mirror has a setting called 'Put behind this window'.

Such setting allows you to specify which window should the mirror be behind of.

I know such window class is 'ROCKETDOCK' for Rocket Dock, but sadly I know nothing about other docks.

I'll see what can I come up with, to give an easier way to select and identify the window to be used as reference to put the mirror behind it.

[Phoshi]

Well, OBJECTDOCK is what I put it behind.

And the thing is, it goes behind it, until I change res, or aero turns off, or something else happens, and then it's on top of it
Going into settings and reselecting OBJECTDOCK puts it back behind the dock, oddly enough.

EDIT: Yeah, having a little... click-on-this-window-to-stick-it-behind thingy would be pretty useful

[schmrom]

What about setting OD to "Always on top" ?

Nonono, it's above, as in, I have objectdock on the bottom of my screen, and the mirror effect physically above it, as in higher up on my screen.

Mantonga,

this is my Vista Ultimate (with aero enabled). I configured your mirror app to mirror my top dock (Object Dock Plus). It works fine, even with icons being zommed... a bit slow though.

i would like it to reflect only one application (only the icons) this would be enough, I don't need all windows mirrored.

[matonga]

Ok, some updates:

- Now the mirror doesn't appear in Alt-Tab list.

- The mirror doesn't update (and so doesn't consume CPU) when it detects a fullscreen app (such as a videogame) (this was very annoying while I was playing games such as NFSU 2, Richard Burns Rally, etc..., because the motion was crispy instead of smooth) (also Ship Simulator 2008 was almost unplayable while running the mirror).

Stuff I don't have time to solve but would like to:

To find a way to make Windows Vista with Aero behave the way I intented, by reflecting windows and reflecting none of dock icons.

I know some people find fancy having their dock icons reflected, but for this particular purpose there is a better choice: iReflector from SirSmiley (yes I know the icons have to be reflected one by one, by hand, I know because I do it that way, even for the 50 weather icons).

[Phoshi]

Could you make the dockicon reflection an option? I like my current setup, where if an icon jumps up it gets reflected :3

Also, as for the games, thank you

EDIT: Moving up thing seems to be fixed, well done )
