************************************
XWindows Dock is developed in Delphi 7. If you want to develop Docklets, the easiest way is to use Delphi 7, too.
I tried newer Versions first, too, but I had to handle a lot of problems, so i switched back to Delphi 7.

************************************
In order to compile the Source-Code, you need additional components (all free & open source):

PNGImage: To load png-images in the Settings-Window and get a transparent Background.
http://pngdelphi.sourceforge.net/ 
(the site was down when I last checked it, but i'm sure you will find another place to download. I'm using Version 1.5)

GDIPAPI: For drawing the Icon.

JVCL: For a font-selection Box in the Settings

************************************
If you have trouble compiling or coding
or have ideas to improve the docklet or the docklet-API,
please check the XWD-Forum on Aqua:

************************************
Feel free to change and improve my code, but please share the source-code again, so someone else can jump in, like you did :-)

Cheers, Atreiu.
