I'll say it for the last time:
RK Launcher is not a rip of any other application.
it's completely written by me from scratch!
raduking....don't get too worked up over what an idiot junior member spouts...those of us that have been around here know and respect your work. It amazes me someone can jump right into a forum and start accusing folks of whatever they want without lurking for a while first to see if they really know what they're talking about.
Anxoiusly awaiting the next release.....

you are right, brother
I am using the RK Launcher since yesterday and love it, great work, raduking!The only thing I don't like is that I cannot the Startmenu docklet to work.
Otherwise, really nice program!
I managed to get it to show up as a docklet and add it. But, when I click it, it causes my Start Menu to flash repeatedly (it doesn't even show up from the docklet like its supposed to). You can download the "fixed" StartMenu docklet from http://www.myfilestash.com/userfiles/Zero3K/StartMenu.zip. Anyone who wants to can try fixing it.
Thanx for the response Zero3K! 
I have just tried the one you link to, but it's not working either.
Thanx though!
Sorry, wrong thread. Damn late night multi-tasking! :confused:
Congrats on the great work
Just a quick surgestion that I couldnt see listed previously in the thread.
I'd like to have the option to start programs minimized. I run a litte ipod eject app that I made and it runs a little dos script that I like to run minimized.
Thanks again,
BB.
P.S. What does the show exclued drop down box do. I couldnt figure out what its useful for. I noticed there where a few 'excluded items in the config file (which I removed/deleted).
Maybe you didn't see it in this thread because this is the BUG REPORT thread....this should go in the REQUESTS thread
Hi,
I'm just testing my MultiMeter Beta 0.4 Docklet for YZ with the rkDock beta 4:
I can't seem to debug anymore: as soon as VC6 stops RK execution, the IDE freezes and can only be killed with task manager, no matter if hitting a breakpoint, an access violation or a manual break. I suspect the hooking mechanism stalls the IDE - is there a way to exclude VC from the hook?
edit:
As a single point of failure, once the hook is stopped, no app can do anything - even the task manager is not available unless invoked from that dialog that comes with ctrl+alt+del... I'm on a W2K Dual.
I added the '-debug' command line for you herd
use:
RKLauncher -debug
and you won't have any hooks or other things that might interfere with docklet debugging

Yeah!
My hero.
edit:
I also seem to have found the reason why some YZ docklets won't work:
Mr. YZ declared APIs like:
EXPORT UINT YzDockletGetFolderPath(
HINSTANCE hInst,
LPTSTR szPath,
DWORD nSize
);
However, the executables he released were all ANSI - DBCS;
In your compilation they are all UNICODE...
edit2:
at least a few escapes...
Just noticed this one...
When I use IE and click on a web page link it opens another IE window to show the new web page.
If I then minimize that 2nd instance of IE, it goes to the RK dock ( as it should)
If I click on the minimized version on the dock at that point, it opens the window back up (as it should)
However, if, while it's minimized, I click on a different link in the "original" IE window, it tries to display the new web page on the minimized instance of IE. But when I click on the minimized IE window on the dock, the instance of IE just "goes away", the wndow doesn't open and the dock icon disappears. I think the launcher is getting confused because it thinks the minimized window has a "name" that it had when it was first minimized, but the "name" has changed because it is really displaying a different web page.
Hopefully, I explained that adequately so you can understand it...
The margin hotspot doesn't work for me. I don't have auto hide on though, so that may be the problem. But I'd like to be able to mouse over the bottom area of the screen and have the dock pop-up. Its working pretty good RK.

herd, could you tell me a docklet that uses that function ?
This one:
http://www.dockex.com/index.php?pageId=doc...age=2&dkview=33 - and probably SysStats from same place.
While I was debugging it, I ran into the part where it needs to initialize itself - This function should return the folder in which the Docklet resides as char*, but all I got was the correct string as BSTR.
Another one: YzDockletGetRect() returns an empty RECT - needed in same docklet for a custom context menu.
Hey RK, there's a bit problem with the dock and Adobe Photoshop CS. If I minimize a document in photoshop the document goes into the dock which is super sweet, but the toolbar also disappears which is not super sweet. It'd be awesome if you could get this fixed! Thanks buddy.
When I use visual studio .net 2003(VS.net 2003), no matter how many times I minimize my VS.net 2003, the main window is still on the desktop and every time I minimize it, a new icon representing VS.net 2003 appears on the RK launcher.
I can confirm that bug - I've a friend who's seeing the same thing.
hey RK, I just found another app that doesn't quite work with your minimize funciton. mIRC usually minimizes to the tray, but RK Launcher is picking it up and putting a screenshot of whatever is underneath it (be it another window, or the desktop) for the thumbnail.
So... the count is up to these programs not minimizing properly
1) All of the Adobe Products
2) mIRC
^ yup, it's not just adobe products... all internal windows (like a photoshop document) are being minimized into the dock instead of the bottom of the application.

Yes, but this is how apple's dock works too. The only problem is that when I minimize a photoshop document, the toolbars and palettes go with it. Ways to get them back are to reopen the first photoshop document you minimized, or to press tab twice. This fix only works for adobe products.
First of all Sorry for my English, i'm from Spain.
As you can see, i'm a new registered (but i visit the forum for a long time ago) 
To begin, lot of thanks to raduking for his splendid utility. The best dock i've ever seen.
But i have one bug to reply, look at this screenshot:
This shadow appears on the screen when i minimize a file in photoshop, and then minimize the photoshop main window. As you can see in the screenshots no matter what i do (press F5 to refresh, open other windows, ...), the shadow don't disappears until i close RKLauncher.
Well, i wish yo can resolve this issue in next versions.
And to finnish, i have a request! :cool: As you can see too in the screenshot, when a lot of icons are in the dock (for exemple when you have various windows minimized) the icons that are at the top sides (right & left) don't appears at screen, they keep out of screen. I think you can do the dock to displace left-right (like the original Mac Dock), then we can navigate the complete dock, no matter what long is.
Saludos.
Not really a bug, but when making the dock size bigger (~70+ px), and setting the magnification a higher pixel setting obviously, the dock seems very choppy.
It's only smooth on lower pixel settings.
