[release] RK Launcher 0.3 Beta

yeah I know about this bug :)

it only happens when you have auto-hide on and the small size bigger than the magnify size...

it's already fixed for the next version.

#262899

One thing i want to clarify about the files in the app.

YzDocklet.dll from RK Launcher has nothing to do with YzDocklet.dll from Y'Z Dock!

This dll is completely written by me and anyone who has at least a little programming

experience can confirm that in order to be able to support the docklets from Y'Z Dock

I had to name the file that way because every docklet loads that dll and I had to rewrite

it because the communication between the docklets and RK Launcher is done via this file.

Just try to replace that file with the one from Y'z Dock and you'll see that no docklets

will work...

Very nice ! Radu esti intradevar un rege ;)

#262904

missing feature:

the minimized thumbnail's label doesn't update for progs with dynamic titlebar (for example, Nero's titlebar says "xx% writing to disk" and it progressively changes in some other dock emulators and in objectbar)

This will be, This is the bEst winXP Dock ever!!

I have been wanting that 'minimize window to dock' feature on object dock for a loooong time and they just can't deliver (even in their 'plus' edition).

And here RKLauncher, even in 0.3 beta version, delivers!! Thank you!, Thank you!, Thank you! there is even nice animation when its doing it ! YEaaaHH!!

But i notice another feature on OS X that i like to see implemented in RK. That is the dock will notice an application is started and automatically show the app icon whenever the icon its not already in the dock (if it is already there then that little triangle will be turn on to tell us that app instance is running). and that app icon will be auto deleted from the dock when we exit the app, unless we right click the icon and set it to 'stick to dock'

ok , in short , make it work as close as posible like mac os X dock :P

Thanx again , and i wish my wish will be fullfilled in next update :)

@ekadoken, RK dock already has this feature.

Go to behavior in settings and click "Show new applications."

#262981

no vague, its not the same.

watch os/x dock demo movie, you'll see.

#262986

The feature you descirbed is exactly how it works....I dunno.

#262988

a missing feature is unupdated titlebar. if a minimized application's title changes the dock dosen't change the titlebar of the icon.

#263067

The "Show new applications" feature indeed simulates the mac behaviour exactly. The only thing is, that if you change the application icon (or changed name), it will not remember it the next time you launch the application (unless you 'keep' it in the doc, but then it's there all the time of course).

wth is sonic heroes? i assume this is a game? make sure u have set work folder in dock item properties

#263099

no vague, its not the same.

yes its same, if not tell us details please or link to demo movie

nny & Vogue.

OMG you're both right ! :)

when i check the 'show new apps' it shows a lot of apps icons in the dock, i assume this feature only shows new installed apps! then i just turnt it off and ask that 'new feature'. Silly me :)

hehe.. ok...ok.. now i want a fully functional trash can and a clock with a date stamp on it :)

#263116

ekadoken, u can also right click those icons and choose "keep in dock" or "never show in dock"

#263135

thanks for showing the "never show in dock" feature. i completly over looked that. Now I have it working great. I love this thing!!!

#263153

wilmegape: you're right, hope next update will fix it.

nny: how do you undo that 'never show in dock' ?

nny: how do you undo that 'never show in dock' ?

tia

u can edit itemlist.conf with notepad and cut excluded apps from the end of list (dont forget to quit dock first if u gonna do that :D)

#263160

when i minimize an instant messanegr window to the dock...it minimizes ALL of aim, including other im windows, and the buddy list...any way around this?

#263199

I'd like to change the label to a smaller font and change the font to Lucida Grande or Lucida Sans Unicode, but when I do, the shadows look horrible, is there any way to solve this? until then, I'm sticking to YzDock.

#263208

This dock is amazing, very close to the actual os x dock, just a few problems...

1. When you have another window open and you put your pointer over the dock it takes the focus off the window behind it. In the mac version it doesnt take the focus off. e.g. if you are typing a URL into your browser and you accidently knock your mouse over the dock you can no longer type because you have to click your browser to get the focus back.

2. When you minimize a window into the dock (which is great btw) if the window is behind another window it will create the icon for that window with the overlapping window on it. I cant explain, so to get this yourself open two programs and overlap them slightly, now with program 2 in the foreground, click the minimize button on program 1.

Could you get these fixed please? Other than that its brilliant!

#263284

I found an other bug, when you change your screen résolution, the dock doesn't keep in bottom of my screen.

try to change your resolution to smaller one to see what i mean (example : from 1600x1200 to 1024x768) hope this will be fixed soon.

And again great work raduking, your app is now my default dock.

#263287

I think it's time to start new thread-tree in the forum like the one Ave has already with 'Releases' and 'Requests' subdirectories ;) Very very nice work. :D As it's only 0.3 beta there's no need to say about any little bugs. I guess the one thing everyone's waiting from you - regular releases with good improvements (may be pre-announcing is good idea) ;)

Though I have one question. What about ObjectDock docklets support? Will it be found in future releases?

darnit. i didn't know how bad i was at looking for posts. i was looking fro the beta 3 thread all over, just to find half an hour later that it was moved to it's own folder with other threads in it.
