Love the new dock and I would switch over from RK Launcher to it but one thing is holding me back. I have a laptop and when I'm home I plug a monitor into the laptop so that I have a 22" screen instead of a 13" screen. When I either plug or unplug the monitor and XWD is running it does not reposition to be at the bottom of the new screen - the area that it's supposed to appear in is still "reserved" for it but the actual dock itself does not move from its original position. ...RK Launcher moves around as needed... is there a way to fix this?

Its because so far XWD only works on one monitor, and as soon as you plug in, it switches to two, And then back to one if you set it up like that.
I guess to temporarily fix that is to disable your laptop during the time you have your external monitor plugged in, then restart XWD.

Also:

I would like to add that the indicators do not work unless you put the .exe in there, instead of a shortcut.
BUT, when i restart XWD, the shortcuts are back, no .exe and so no indicators will work.

great work... waiting for the next version with magnification and anti-aliasing enabled.
Looking good for a beta!

Nice work! It's extremely fast!
Dragging stuff into the dock works, but I can't drag them out of it to delete them. I hope you add that feature later, along with the magnification.
Also, when the dock starts, it detects where the taskbar ends and locates there, but if you move the taskbar, the dock doesn't adjust. I'd be glad if you could fix that to.
I was also wondering: you released the code for the old XWD, but will you open this version's code? I think it'd be awesome. No presure, you're job is amazing anyways
Thanks, and keep up the good work!

This option is there. Right click on an open space on the dock and untick "Lock".

This is genuinely awesomeness. You're greater than Stardock, at least at the dock. I knew that.
Can't wait for the second release.

[JBJHJM]

I just registered to tell you that's a great one - and I think it will get even better!

Now there's one thing in the context menu it's just "swith" you should correct it to "switch"!

In the future it's important to make it possible to hide XWDock, currently if I'm browsing or something I can't see the face of the dock but the tooltips will pop up!

Personally I most like if the dock is hiding automatically and blends in if you move the mouse to the border of the screen!

Feels good to use it, the drag&drop configuration is really great!

Yep Thanks all.
Now I've got one feature done and ready to use (already tested), and one just done (it can make the dock crash, can, if you made a lot of things already...) anyway, I just want to tell you, that they are 2 features what I want to see in the next build, and they are about 85% ready!. But unfortunately, now I had a work to be done, and I spend all of my time to do that. May when I have free time I will be able to complete 2th feature, test it and publish the new build ( I think make version shorter - may be 2.0.1.. will see)

Then we will wait!
Just tried out the preference settings, what I'd like is just a "hide-the-dock" function for the "Keep dock over all Windows" option!
Take all the time you need, it's damn great!
Now I think I've written enought...

[Vistapple]

Is it possible when you add stacks to have the name of the stack up the top?

eg: In a documents stack up the top just above the icons but still it the stack area say "Documents"

F:\Untitled.jpg

edit: Hmmmm... how do i show a picture?

Thanks, should have checked better XD
By the way, It'd also be nice to have the "minimize to dock" function, specially with the genie effect.

[Manyvox]

yeah cause that was one of the best features in 5.6

anyways take your time to make it good

[Spadester1]

is there a way to make the sides of the dock (when 3d) smoother?
also is there a stack docklet already incorporated?
are there any available plugins that work?

This dock looks so nice, since I've started school once again I'm back at using a windows pc and keeping my loved iMac at home. This dock makes the win7 experience a little more bearable. To get the most out of having to use a laptop my friend did set me up with a tablet pc which makes things very fun.

well then, on with the questions:

1. When using a tabletpc the dock is having a lot of problems replacing itself when you turn the screen, it quite simple ends up off-screen. The only fix I'v found for now is to close the dock before turning the screen, and then reopen it. So my question is if it's possible to make some kindda better refresh for the dock, to better have it find the right place to go after you turn the screen??

2. Will a future release of this great program have magnification? Or will all dock icons continue to be static?

3. When I launch a program from the dock, it does not show a running indicator under the program, so if I minimize the program and then use the icon from the dock to open it again, it will open a new program instead of reopen the minimized one. Is there a way to fix this?

That's all from me for now. Keep up the good work !!

[xstriga]

Can you customize the context menu of each icon so that it can launch a appliazione? For example CCleaner enter commands in the context menu of the basket..

[xstriga]

When i use a Virtual Desktop does not know how many instances of the same appliazione are active. You can insert an icon with the number of active instances (like iPhone)

BOBAH & All,

Looks like we may have some competition coming...

http://www.stardock....ectDock_2.0.htm

It's in beta soon as well. Still can't beat XWD 2! Keep up the hard work!!

[BOBAH13]

There is no competition (for me).
1. I'm creating XWD for me (and publish for people, who wants to use it)
2. It's FREE application. I'm passing my time to do XWD when I have time, it's not my way to do MONEY

So, for now I still have no time to working on new build of XWD. But! when I have it, I think it won't take too much time to complete the new one.
Thanks.

Well said Bobah13. I appreciate your approach. Make it for yourself, and if you generously share it with us~ we can enjoy it for what it is. Also I think I'd have a fair amount of faith in what results from those that eat their own dog-food.
