Docklets for XWD version 5.4 should be posted here.





Please, when posting a new docklet don't forget mentioning
the version of XWindows Dock to which it applies (just in case...)


Before installing a new docklet, it's strongly recommended backing-up the existing XWindowsDock folder!

From time to time it happens that a docklet may cause XWD to crash and a total reinstall (or at least deleting all settings files) is necessary to get things back running.

If you don't have a backup, you risk loosing all your XWindowsDock settings!

XHarddrive v0.25 (monitor your harddrive-space in the icon)

This version is already included in the XWD-Installer! (But without additional icons)

Functionality:
* This one monitors the free/used/total space of your Drives.
* You can customize, what the text in the Icons shows. ( It's a little bit tricky for beginners, just ask. )
* Fully customizable layout.
* Runs a command on click (by default, it opens the Windows Explorer for Drive C: ).
* You can monitor removable drives, too.

I included several alternative icons in the pack, just pick the one you like, or create/use another one. If you have a special beautiful icon, please send it to me, i would like to include them in future releases.

Installation:
* Extract all the contents to the /XWindowsDock/Docklets/ - Folder.
* You have to end up like this: (only essential file are listed)
..xwindowsdockdockletsxharddrivedefault.png
..xwindowsdockdockletsxharddrivexharddrive.dll

Big thanks to shishimaru and panta for icons and suggestions, and to matonga for help with the coding.
