Panta Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Docklets for XWD version 5.2.3 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!

atreiu Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 XCmd v0.43 (command-line tool and custom command launcher) This is very powerful Docklet, if you know how to use it. How does the XCmd-Docklet work? After clicking the docklet, a small Edit-field appears. Here you can Enter a command and submit the command by either hit the [Enter]-Key (the Primary-Function) or hold [Ctrl] and hit the [Enter]-Key (the Secondary-Function). The way, the command is handled is highly customizable and depends on the XCmd-Settings. In the XCmd-Settings you can customize the two Functions, Primary and Secondary. The default functions are: Primary: run the command ($$). Examples: - Type "regedit" hit [Enter] -> The Registry Editor opens - Type "explorer" hit [Enter] -> a new Windows-Explorer opens. Limitations: The Primary-Function onyl "finds" commands, which are in a folder, which is in the PATH Enviroments. So some commands (like "msconfig") can not be found, currently. I'm working on this. Secondary (cmd /K $$): Open a Command-Line, and execute the command inside it. Examples: - Type "ping 127.0.0.1" hit [Ctrl+Enter] -> a Command-Line Window opens, the ping command is executed. After ping is finished, the Command-Line stays open. - Type "D:" hit [Ctrl+Enter] -> You get a Command-Line Window with D: as root Directory. Customize the functions: In the Settings-Window, you can customize Primary and/or Secondary Function. In the Edit-field, you can enter a custom program, which is executed. You have to use "$$" as a placeholder for the command. A usual command would be: ["C:PathToProgram.exe" $$] which would run Program.exe with your command as a Parameter. This is very powerful, because its a interface to any program with command-line-parameters. Only two Examples: Set as Primary Function: ["C:Program FilesMozilla Firefoxfirefox.exe" /URL http://www.google.de/search?q=$$&as_qdr=d] -Type "XWinDock", hit [Enter] This would start Firefox and open instantly the URL http://www.google.de/search?q=XWinDock&as_qdr=d This URL performs a search on Google with the searchterm "XWindDock" and limited to results from the last 24h. I guess, one of the most interessting function is the interface to your Desktop Search Engine, for Example Windows Desktop Search: Set as Primary Function: ["C:Program FilesWindows Desktop Searchwindowssearch.exe" /URL search-ms://query=$$] -Type "Something", hit [Enter] This would open the WDS - Main Window and instantly executes a search for "Something". It's just like the "Windows Search-Deskbar" in the taskbar, only without suggestions and results-preview. More Function can be found in the Function-List below. Installation: -on update: Delete old /XWindowsDock/Docklets/XCmd/ - Folder -Extract all the contents to the /XWindowsDock/Docklets/ - Folder. Command-List: (You have to include the Filename into " ", if it contains spaces!) 1. [$$] (default) - Run the command just like when it is typed in Windows "Run"-Dialog 2. [cmd /K $$] (default) - Opens the Command Line and executes your command in it. 3. ["C:Program FilesWindows Desktop Searchwindowssearch.exe" /URL search-ms://query=$$] - Performance a search for your command in Windows Desktop Search. 4. ["C:Program FilesMozilla Firefoxfirefox.exe" /URL http://www.google.de/search?q=$$] - Opens Firefox and performance a search for your command in Google. 5. ["C:Program FilesConsole2Console.exe" -r "/k $$"] - Opens the famous Open Source Console - Program and runs the command in it. Please share your command, if you find an interesting one!

(Thunderbird, for example) * Hold [Ctrl] and Click on the Docklet, to check for Unread Messages instantly. Installation: - Check your Firewall: XWindowsDock.exe must be allowed to access internet. - Delete your old /Docklets/XMail/-Folder - Extract to /XWindowsDock/ - Folder, keep the folder-structure. - You have to end up like this: /XWindowsDock/libeay32.dll <---- These two dlls are for OpenSSL /XWindowsDock/ssleay32.dll /XWindowsDock/Docklets/XMail.dll /XWindowsDock/Docklets/XMail/default.png /XWindowsDock/Docklets/XMail/overlay1.png /XWindowsDock/Docklets/XMail/overlay2.png /XWindowsDock/Docklets/XMail/overlay3.png /XWindowsDock/Docklets/XMail/overlay4.png /XWindowsDock/Docklets/XMail/overlay5.png /XWindowsDock/Docklets/XMail/overlaysettings.png Usage: - In the Edit Dialog, type in your IMAP-Settings (only IMAP supported, right now). - Click on Test Settings - Dialog. - If you get an error, please post it in the Main-Thread. Don't use the Docklet, then! - If everything is Ok, than click OK. GMail-Settings (by request): Server: Imap Host: imap.googlemail.com Username: [email protected] Password: yourpass Use SSL: checked! Known Issues * You will have problems when there are MANY Emails in your checked folders. So please check only the folders you really need, and stay under ~300-1000 Mails in these. POP3 might solve this problem. * On Gmail, there is this [Google Mail] IMAP-folder. This is not a real folder, no emails can be there, so you can't check it. However, you can check the nested Folders of [Google Mail], so make sure you have the checkbox checked, if you want this IMAP-Folder watched. Unsorted Wishlist: (Feature Suggestions, I am aware of) * POP3 Support * Proxy Support * Preview Messages/Message headers * Check on startup * Check every Folder (not only nested) * Check for new Messages (not only "unread") * Audio-feedback * Make the check faster * XMail-v012.zip Link to comment

atreiu Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 XVolume v0.01 (launches the native Windows XP volume controls) Functionality: Very simple, just works like the volume-control in the taskbar: *Single Click to open systems Mini-volume-controls *Double Click to open systems Mixer. Installation: -on update: Delete old /XWindowsDock/Docklets/XVolume/ - Folder -Extract all the contents to the /XWindowsDock/Docklets/ - Folder. Note: VISTA-Users! Unfortunately, Microsoft no longer includes SNDVOL32.EXE with Windows VISTA, and the VISTA sound mixers work differently than they have in previous Windows versions. As a result, XVolume is not able to open the mixer in VISTA, nor manage it in the same ways. So the Docklet will not work. But on the internet are descriptions, on how to get sndvol32.exe to vista, too. When you have done this, XVolume should work. So try this: http://askville.amazon.com/file-Sndvol32-W...uestId=14173184 Please report back, if it works. Unsorted Wishlist: (Feature Suggestions, I'm aware of) * reflect the current volume level in the icon * XVolume-v001.zip Link to comment
