[release] RK Launcher 0.3 Beta

I'm totally speechless.....

it works amazingly smooth:cool:

but still .....I have two little things:

1. is it possible to make it to use icons other than in the "icon" directory?

2. will it able to adjust it's magnifying speed in the final version? (mine is a little slow, maybe is due to my old compter:-( )

thank you for doing all this:D

hmm mine is slow too, very slow. i got 17 items in the dock, maybe thats why...

#262262

Amazing app! Enough said: I don't think I will ever run Objectdock or yzdock on my computer again :) Keep up the good work!

@everyone: please stop requesting features and bugging Raduking. He's busy enough fixing bugs in current release. And if you want to post a bug - read the thread before, it may have been posted already.

Very promising release, Raduking. This dock is shaping up to be very, very nice. The "add new applications" feature is really handy, especially since it grabs all tasks currently running, instead of just the "Applications".

Just FYI; I find that the scale animation works somewhat clunky on my machine, despite it's being a very neat feature. Mind you, I was torrenting a couple of files at the time, had Gaim open, and Mozilla; so that may or may not have slowed down performance. However, with an Athlon XP 2400+, 512MB DDR SDRAM, and a decent Radeon gfx card, my system certainly isn't underpowered for the task.

And, IMO, having the tasks disappear from the Windows taskbar when minimizing them is pretty cool as well.

Anywho, great looking stuff! Keep up the awesome work.

the slowdown in scale effect is because it uses GDI+

i will try to implement it using hardware acceleration...

That would be great... simply great :D

hm. it seems pretty unstable with docklets of yz. i spent half an hour on customizing the dock, when i tried to change the itunes docklet icon, the whole dock crashed. drat hope the capadibility would be addressed later. but great dock!

#262273

i am really loving this dock Raduking! i have abandoned Objectdock and Y'z dock now. well, i still have a auto-hide small objectdock running on the right for my system tray icons. scale effect is a lil choppy, but i understand its still beta!

i was wondering, i already searched throught the help files and everything, but i can't seem to figure this out. i would like to have iTunes in the item's list, but minimize it to the tray, not rk launcher. is this possible in beta .3? to just exclude iTunes from the minimize to dock?

thanks!

::edit:: oh and btw i DO have the "minimize to tray" option on in iTunes, but rk launcher insists that it minimizes to dock instead.

Excellent work. Faster than OD even on my humble low end contraption that calls itself a PC.

"A-OK 1+Star" :)

One little thing about YZ-Compatibility:

Albeiks Recycle Bin docklet changes the context menu such that there's a menu entry "empty recycle bin" that works, IIRC.

This seems to be overridden by RKL's default context menu?

Go On!

#262288

I love it

only thing is it resets everytime i restart it :(

anyone have a fix for it?

#262336

Thanks for this, this is the first time I used a dock and I was wondering if there was a way to stop it from disappearing when you use the show desktop button. :)

#262338

Do you have the "Save" options checked in the Settings dialog?

#262344

My only problem is that, like YzDock, it has an "Enable Multi-Monitor Support" Option but I'm not allowed to check it, so I'm confined to using it on my primary display, which destroyes the point for me.

#262424

I love your introduction, looks beautiful!

#262429

Not bad dock...kinda laggy and chunky animation...not my PC.

I'm always wishing for a drap and drop able into an icon folder, not placing a shortcut to it.

The scaling animation is clunky here too, and it's definitely not my system.

Insofar as the tasks disappearing from the taskbar when minimizing, I like it but would really like to see a switch to turn that feature on or off.

Excellent Dock.

It's .3 Beta people.... you can't be expecting miracles yet!

I don't care how much resources it might take, this dock is amazing.

#262490

Do you have the "Save" options checked in the Settings dialog?

yes i do

when i configure the shortcuts to what i want, i check the itemlist file and its not updated, its sitll the default shortcuts.

#262497

That's odd...I know it doesn't save until you exit, but it should save then.

[bug report]

1) some program that let you minimize to the system tray like Flashget, iTunes, or eMule (instead of the taskbar) will still appear in the dock (it's supposed to display only what on the taskbar, not system tray, right?)

2) If you are running the dock and minimize a window (it appear on the dock) and then for some reason the dock crash (or you choose to close it), and then you restart the dock, it disappear! (you can only be able to restore it though the task bar of Windows.

:) - still, this dock is the best!

Another bug:

I found this for Firefox, but perhaps, it's true for other applications also.

When you selection the option "Same instance" for Firefox, then run it. Then minimize it (will appear as a screenshot in the dock). Then, if you click on a link in different application (say in your email), the old windows will reappear with the new page, but the old item in the dock still there. The result is that when you minimize the "new" windows, there will be two items in the dock (although they are actually the same one).
