the dock doesn't crash when flashfxp is minimized..but now the dock can't be set to the other postions left right and top
the only one that works is on the bottom
what do you mean you can't set the other positions ?
Is anybody experiencing this problem cause its seems fine here 
no problem for me, the dock goes in every position.
I was wondering if this thread should be split into RK Launcher - features discussion and RK Launcher - bugtrack... we reached page 26 
what do you mean you can't set the other positions ?Is anybody experiencing this problem cause its seems fine here
i have no problem with default theme, but if ill try to switch to some custom theme then its crash when i trying to change dock position, also cant see indicators with custom theme, everything was fine with previous build.
just edited default theme.ini with my custom theme values and its doesnt crash anymore, guess its was something wrong with my custom theme.ini
I noticed that bug with my own custom theme about the indicators so I made a new custom theme based on the default bg that does work and it was fine afterwards.
just found reason, u should change [mark] to [indicator] in theme.ini then everything will be fine.
what do you mean you can't set the other positions ?Is anybody experiencing this problem cause its seems fine here
ok i narrrowed the problem.. it seems the dock crashes only when my skin is use
the dock works only on the bottom with my skin the other positions it crashes..
problem solved..
didn't know the theme.ini file was changed.. from [Mark] to [indicator]
with the [Mark] tag it worked when it was on the bottom.. just not at the other positions
maybe having RKLauncher load the default theme and give a invalid theme warning if an invaild theme is detected but thats just an idea..
ok i narrrowed the problem.. it seems the dock crashes only when my skin is usethe dock works only on the bottom with my skin the other positions it crashes..
So you have re-skinned RKDock (alpha) and it crashes when you move it - I would hazzard a guess its your skin, not RK Dock.
anyway it souldn't crash and it won't an invalid theme message will be there !
@raduking: great progress with your launcher. I always look forward to your releases as they come
Bug report: when i open, say 7 windows and minimize them all to the launcher. Then really quickly click on the minimized screenshots on the launcher, bringing them back up one at a time, the minimized screenshots disappear and the restored window reappears on the screen (desired operation), however, at the end of this sequence, often times, a blank space is left on the launcher, instead of bringing up all the windows, some remain on the dock, albiet with a missing "screenshot and badge" instead, just a blank spot. When you bring you mouse over the area, no text shows up. But if you click in the blank space, the window does reappear.
In the screenshot i have attached, you can see this happening, but with 3 windows "hidden" in the blank spaces. I can then click on them and restore them on my screen.
I suspect that if you change your implementation method, as in what Herd suggested, then this would probably be an irrelevant point.
Also, this is just a suggestion, and wishful thinking on my part: The magnification of this dock is wonderful, and when you get to optimizing this, i will be blown away no doubt. But right now, the bounce effect is very choppy when launching an app, something i have noticed with all the docks (yz handling this the nicest so far, i believe)... but is there anyway to thread the animation effects of say.. the bounce effect, from the code base that would say.. do the magnification? In that the processor could handle the opening of an app.. the dock's return to normal size via the magnification, and the bounce effect with a little more grace.... Am i on the right track here Herd?
Anyways, my compliments on a great program so far.
PS. My memory usage remains around 10,640k now, with some minor stressor tests with minimizing and restoring windows. Does not seem to get any higher so far.
I am having no problems with RKLauncher, and I'm even using my own theme. Awsome work. 
I agree I have to fix that...
Hey, this dock is the best OSX cloning dock I've ever seen! But I really want to know the shortcut code to put in the itemlist_osx.ini to get the System Preferences window to come up when I click the icon. Thanks in advance..

Great work. I 've been using Object Dock Plus for some time now but think I'll completly switch when this great work is completed. 
I am using both right now RK as my dock and Object dock as a side bar just for the Power docklet and Cal docklet.
is there a way of using docklets now or is this something that won't happen for awhile?
please don't take this as a negitive or presure to rush just curious. 
Nice job so far! I'm liking it!
Anyway, the only way to add or change shorcuts is by editing the INI file, eh? I can't find any option to add a shorcut.
Thank you.
Dude,
Things most certainly have improved suince the last time I checked.
Finder, Safari, Mail, etc; all docklets work now on default instead of having to edit the .ini file beforehand.
When I minimise an app, it minimises to the left part of the dock, with an indicator icon to reveal which app it is I've minimised (Opera, M$ Word, etc.)...excelent.
Even better: minimise to dock equals not minimised to taskbar.
That is what I always disliked about the other docks (Y'z, OD, OD+, Moby's): in my opinion minimise to dock and also to taskbar is not only inefficient (a minimised app takes up space on two places namely dock & taskbar), but also illogical (Bare with me; an inexperianced computer user accedentially clicked the minimise button on top of his window: "I minimised an app...but whereto, oh I see to the taskbar...no, wait to the Dock...HELP! Which one should I choose?!?"). Finally someone corrected this annoyance in a Dock.
Memory usage: around 12 mb, doesn't seem to matter how many apps I minimise to it.
You seem to have fixed the memory leak mentioned earlier on this forum?
Stability: been using this app about 2 hour now. No crashes yet.
Compatibility:
My regular Window Apps culculator, adress book, explorer, etc do not seem to notice the dock and appear as they should on the dock when minimised.
Other commonly-used-by-me-apps Opera, CPU-z, Regseeker, eMule...all don't seem to be hindered by the dock and minimise to it as expected.
Games?
* Doom III: no trouble at all. No dock-pop up when moving mouse to bottom.
* Return to Castle Wolfenstein (been trying older games on my new A64 pc to see the differency compared to my good ol'K6-2, ok?): same as Doom III.
* Sid Meijers' Pirates! (the recent 2004 remake): same as Doom III (no problems)
* WinKawaks (Arcade emulator): no problem, neither windowed or full screen. Even minimise to dock creates appropriate screenshot which is kinda cool on itself.
* ePSXe (PsOne emulator): no problems; if I move mouse to bottom o/t screen dock appears, but so does it do indiscrimenently in all apps, so to me this behaviour makes sense. Maybe a futute option could include an exclude-list in the configuration settings? This could be a solve for problem described below?
*Problem: R6-Raven shield --> dock constantly in screen sorta flashing...Temporarely solve: disable dock before launching app. Should be fixed in future version.
Such laborious solutions are an dislike to me in the other docks too.
Summary:
Very impressive results, even more impressive considering this is not even a Beta, but 'merely' an Alpha release. I allready prefer this app above the other existing docks. I sorta ditched the dock, but these promising results make me seriously reconsider. I love the dock, but got disencouraged by the problems (performance, resource-hogging, hindernence with the apps & games I use) with them. Again in one word: G R E A T
And please continue the developement.
hmm, can someone tell me how i can get the... minimized and running programs sections to move to the middle, rather than the right hand side of the dock, or is that even possible right now?
@AoW777:
I'd expect to be somewhere in RKDock.ini, if not in settings menu of the dock itself,
but since nothing similiar is found, I suspect it not to be implemented...yet.
@RaduKing: am i right, or do I overlook it?
This is an awesome dock! I just wanted to know how to get the alladin lamp effect to work? I turned it on but nothing happens when i minamize and how do i add shortcuts to the dock like my games/ firefox/ because i tried dragging them in there but it won't let me...
p.s. just consider me the novice user who is testing out the dock....thanks for the replies
nevermind, sorry, i found it. and you're right, its under the RKDock.ini and the "minimizePosition =" part
expressovi, the alladin lamp effect isn't implemented yet. The dock is still in production and we should see this feature soon.
PS there should be a 'hide windows taskbar' feature for those who want to kibosh it for good (e.g. me).
This is also a request:
Please also have a "SHUT DOCK RK DOCK WHEN...." list so you can put games and applications, so whenever you run this applications rk dock shuts down automatically.

there is a program called docktool that will shut down your dock when you open a program and open your dock when you close the program..
or you can use like scritps and the such... more info can be found here

Well...I've been using this as my default dock now for the last few days...fantastic...bounce effect is much smoother on my 'mac' than both od and Mr Y's...bloody great!! Need to play further but this really is excellent....keep it up...perfection! Thanks raduking!

As I mentioned in my earlier posting, most of the games work fine with RK's, so what could be the problem with R6 Raven shield? Could it be the game engine it uses?
Anyone have a clue on this? Anyone noticed similiar problems?
Besides, I'd rather have an integrated solution to deal with these issues, than third party apps or tricky scripts. Ultimately I would want this dock not to interfere with fullscreen apps (i.e. DirectX/OpenGL games)and again: maybe an exclusion list (such as Windowblinds has) would be the solution?
But I'm optimistic; this version of RKLauncher is just a pre-beta and allready performing quite well I'd say. Hurrah to RaduKing and may he carrion the developement of his app with the integration of our feedback.
