Denis7OO Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 SKIN UPDATED FOR XWINDOWS DOCK 5.4 As BOBAH13 releases new versions of XWD, it will be updated Contains: -Shadow version compatible with window reflections -More stack icons Link to comment
Suzumushi Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Thanks Denis ^^Your replica is one of the best I seen. Link to comment
firecracker6 Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 maybe you could include more stack containers in your theme to allow users to set their stack icon with a few different options. Link to comment
BOBAH13 Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Also I think you should make folder.png smaller. Because 512x512, I think, it's too much and therefore when I click on the stack in my PC it takes some seconds to prepare stack's items. thanks. Link to comment
firecracker6 Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 very good point BOBAH13, maybe you could create two versions. A high quality version (which may run slower on machines,) and a performance version, (which keeps icons at 128 max (or similar) for Netbook and older slower machines.) Link to comment
Phoshi Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Well, my machine is far from "older, slower", and there's a definite lag. Link to comment
Denis7OO Posted December 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 I think you're right, but on my pc I haven't noticed that anything is slowing down, I will update theme soon, some stacks and make it work faster Link to comment
yorkey Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Wow, there's a new version of this every day! Thanks Denis Link to comment
mvosx1094 Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Hey there Denis700, I juts downloaded XWinDock 5.2.2 (latest on the forum) and it changed ALOT since I used the v2 version. What I'm asking is that in the zip u attach it only contains the audio files and the .smxd file. Is this pack suppost to contain images of some sort? And if its not a problem with you, if you can add a READ ME to teach how to install the skin and the best settings to mimic OS X's dock. Thankyou so much and please respond as fast as you can.

Denis7OO Posted December 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Just copy *.smxd to skins folder, sounds wherever you want. Get into XWD preferences, themes and choose refresh, then check Leopard 5.2.3 REAL from list. Best opacity for dock is 90%, icons reflections 60% and -6 distance from an icon. It is made for XWD 5.2.2., so it does contain images INSIDE smxd file. For sounds, I named it just like it is in XWD, so choose proper I will add readme in next version Holla Link to comment

Also I would like to note that why is that when you add the ControlPanel to the dock via right click and then click it nothing happens? PS I use Vista SP1 Link to comment
Denis7OO Posted December 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Okay, tonite big update to this is comin', it will be 3 versions upgrade, so I will call it 5.2.6... I've found a way to mimic a little bit more closer height of dock, crisp edges, I've made original trash can icons and changed stacks so it works a bit faster, stay tuned mvosx1094, control panel thing - I mentioned it already in release thread, got the same, I don't kno wot it is but just go to ...:WindowsSystem32control.exe and move it to dock instead of built in dock's CP.

Okay, I'll be expecting the update and I will do that right now but another question. What's the best view settings for the Stack? They just don't look as good as the StackDocklet from Matonga.
