Hey, I'm thinking about maybe adding a blacklist function for running apps since it's showing some programs that should be hidden, eg Firefox's plugin-container.exe, Synaptic TouchPad Enhancements, etc.

Thanks that would be very appreciated, since it shows background running apps for me and can clutter up the dock.

This is a code-snippet in Delphi that enumerates windows.

function EnumWindowsFunc(wHandle:THandle; List:TStringList):boolean; stdcall;
var
caption: array[0..256]of char;
dwStyle,dwexStyle: longint;
begin
   dwStyle:=GetWindowLongPtr(wHandle,GWL_STYLE);
   dwexStyle:=GetWindowLongPtr(wHandle,GWL_EXSTYLE);
   if (dwStyle and WS_VISIBLE = WS_VISIBLE)
   and (GetWindowText(wHandle,caption,sizeof(caption)-1)<>0)
   and (GetParent(wHandle)=0)
   and (whandle<>application.Handle){exclude me}
   then
   begin
    if (dwexStyle and WS_EX_APPWINDOW=WS_EX_APPWINDOW)
    and (GetWindow(wHandle,GW_OWNER)=whandle)
   	then List.Add(caption)
    else if (dwexStyle and WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW =0 )
    and (GetWindow(wHandle,GW_OWNER)=0) 
   	then List.Add(caption);
    end;
    result:=true;
end;

I guess TaskSwitchXP has something similar in its source code http://www.ntwind.co...p/download.html

Maybe it can be implemented on XWindowsDock so it can list only those apps that are shown in the taskbar.
Because, XWindowsDock list those apps that lays, for example, in systray. Or those that aren't shown in the taskbar, like :
- Windows Desktop Gadgets
- Switcher (a macosx expose clone for Windows Vista/7)
- Win+Tab sometimes is listed too (Windows Manager)

BTW: I'm still trying to port my old docklets

Awesome Job, really good

[RenanLazarotto]

When we will have a new update?
Oh, there will be an option to convert XWD 5.6 skins to 2.0 format?

[sam3000]

Where i can find docklets and plugins for 2.0.3 version?
I need clock and maybe zoom...

[Nikola]

Bobah can you add option to exclude specific programs from dock?

[artistro08]

Hey, I've only been here for a little while but what if the docks icons were integrated to control itunes, set status in skype, and a lot of other integrations? just throwing my 2 cents in. it would be an awesome idea if someone just integrated itunes into it through a plugin!

By the way LOVE THIS DOCK! THE MOST AWESOMENESS OF AWESOME DOCKS OUT THERE!

I guess its pretty clear that this project has been abandoned. I hate to say that as I love this dock and I wish he would start work on it again, but unfortunately there hasn't been an update since last year so i assume there wont be another one

It hasn't been abandoned, but rather put on the back burner. Remember the 5.6->2.0 transition? That was longer than a year....

last year was just two months ago, you know?
I would love to know if bobah is still working on it though.

Hi all. Glad to see you'r still taking an interest of it. Now I have changes in my life and it will continue. Really not sure that I can and like to continue working on the dock. I know we are waiting for Mac OS Lion that has a lot of new and interesting features, but unfortunately I'm not sure that it's possible to make really cool stuff for XWD, because you know, it's Windows and if we continue to add new features it may make the dock very large and buggy, that's not good. That's why I think it's suspended. Right now I cannot tell you anything else, one thing, I may continue working on it in about year later, but really not sure.
Thanks and sorry for that.

[robbie5]

I have just one question, how can I adjust the dock position so it doesn't appear exactly on the edge of my screen ? How can I add some space between the dock and my XP taskbar for example ?

[BOBAH13]

• 3d-background-edge-rect=a,b,c,d. Control d value. Greater to move dock panel up
• 3d-indicator-skip-bottom=a. Control a value. Greater to move indicator up

In skin.ini file.

[robbie5]

Thank you very much, and congrats for your fine work! You've made a great dock.

[gstar2002]

hi, thank you very much for this great software. I use it a lot recently,I especially like the ability to drag files to and out of a folder pined on the dock, it's very helpful and feels just like the dock on a mac.
But I do hope it could have the ability to show the files in Time oder, so that I can get the most recent file first.
thanks for your job.

[keats]

Dear Bobah,

since you won't be updating anytime soon, would you consider releasing the sourcecode of the current version? Or maybe work out a deal with one or two programmers to work on updates till you return? I for one would be especially interested in making the 'blacklist' for running apps that multiple people talked about in this thread...

[punkemolive]

Where is effects and option customization from previously version 5.6? (i mean: deal, expand, fireworks, fountain... stack icon size customization, and minimize window effect)

P.S. Drag and drop, windows show effect works awesomely in new version!

Sorry for my english

Afterwards just right click on dock, click add and choose plugins and drag the one that says battery into the dock and there you go
