Can somebody please tell how to create skins for this dock (5.6)please A step by step by guide please.

PS: I've already tried to use the SkinMaker that comes with XWD but. I cant create any theme, just a 'default' skin

[Panta 0]

@iApple: search is your friend... a quick search for XSkinMaker retrieved this as the fourth link: XWindows Dock v5.2.3

If you browse it backwards you'll find a post, by shishimaru if I'm not wrong, that explains the steps needed for that version; look at it to get a grasp of how things work, then try editing Config.txt of the new version and recreate it...

ps:@shishimaru: a new tutorial would be really nice!

@Panta: Thanks xD I found the tutorial, and you right, people (myself included) should investigate more before posting

@Shishimaru: agreed, an updated tutorial will be very nice

Hmmmm... The only thing I'd see would be Monitoring, but as far as I know that's only for monitoring files inside folders. Sorry I can't be much more help...

By searching before posting you'd see that this is a feature already requested! So, yes, it's missing for now... :slant:

Hi all.

I guess my post is about help, but I am not 100% sure. So:

I am watching xwdock with processmonitor and in "standby" I can see this infinite loop:

My need of help is to know if this is normal.

Thank u.

PS: by "standby" I'm saying that xwdock is not doing anything, but staying on my bottom screen being pretty.

Sorry to ask this PANTA but have you updated your Green Glass skin for the latest XWindows Dock, I think 1&2 are the best thanks, and thanks for reading

[snip]

Various things could be causing this. If the error renders XWindows Dock useless, try a clean reinstall, or delete all of your preference files (and let XWD create new ones). You might want to say what exactly what you were doing at the time it gave you the error (what apps were open, what system you're running on, if you were changing settings in XWindows Dock, etc.) If you are a Vista user, try disabling UAC for XWindows Dock and see if that fixes it.

straight from my post in the faq suggestions thread... which Panta has yet to turn into a faq.

Edit: and the maximized windows part is a setting you have to adjust somewhere. I don't use it, so I don't know where it is.

Edit2: The setting is "height of reserved screen area" under the "panel" tab. Change it to something larger to fix your issue

I have a problem, its really weird... before in v 5.2.3 (or something like that) reflection was working... i hadnt updated in a while so i decided to check and wow! yay, 5.6..... i deleted the whole xwindowsdock directory but winhook.dll was left and was denied... i just install over... no luck on reflection or screen reservetion and i got that error message on first start... i deleted it again... winhook.dll dissapeared and i did two other installs with no results... same error, no screen reservation, no reflection sleep.gif... another clean install... after running CCleaner got rid of the error... the screen reservation is working... window reflection too, but still no icon reflection... ohmy.gif what now?

(edit) stack themes seems to be having a difficult time applying... (images) the folder themes only change if i change the stack icon and the stack labels dont change (they are supposed to change to black/white) (they are still siver/black) the grid theme doesn't change, I'm using the iLeapord theme... not sure if he included stack themes... although he did before... yes it is the 5.6 version

(edit) upun restart of my laptop, i got the appliction error... still no reflection...

Dell Latitude d410 Pentium M 1.73gigahertz processor Intel®graphics .99 Gigs of RAM

Windows XP 2000 Home Edition

P.S. A seperator should only appear if there are objects on both side of it... it's irritating...it should be addressed in the future

P.P.S. bug that has needed to be addressed for a while now... the reflection of windows stay on the dock after you close or minimize a window until you hover over the dock

P.P.P.S X Windows Dock has the same bug as object dock where when you reserve the edge of the screen, it screws up the wallpaper (resetting the reserved area is a temporary fix) (just like object dock)

how make that he will be display only stack icons
