RK Launcher 0.3 - FEATURE REQUESTS
A feature that would be very usefull for chatting :
- For now, chatting is quite hard, because you can't switch easiely between your windows, and you can't know when a new message comes. My suggets : add an option by application : "List all Windows". When this is activated, all windows of this app appear in the Dock's Taskbar, weather they're minimized or not ; and these times bumps on receiving a message. A bit like ObjectDock feel...
- Full docklets support (at least Y'z Dock ones...)
- And of course (but less important), if the dock could remember settings for apps that doesn't stay in Dock... ![]()
I think this is the only lacks in RKLauncher that prevents me for using it all the time ; but your beta just rock, best dock ever, keep it up !
ability to save changes (maybe by rightclicking?)
docklets could act as menu (like objectdock does, folders can be shown as menu - because of that feature I like od)(I dont mean this "animatzed flyout menu", but the simple one - very useful imho
change the location where open/new taks spawn
choose an icon from outside the icon-folder or define a new one (I have all my icons in another folder and dont want to copy them all - kinda waste of space)

I second that.
based on the same reason:D
A time delay before reappearing when set to auto hide.
A bring to front type of thing like OD had. (Where you click on the bottom and the dock appears on top of currently open windows instead of always on top or always behind.
Definately the ability to use Ydock backgrounds with this dock will be good...
docklet support...so i can see if i have any new email...ect ect
Dock scaling on click'n'drag (check OSX dock for more info)
Directory support on click'n'hold (again check OSX)
Drag to trash feature - which I'm sure will be sorted in the docklet request.
How about all icons stay in grayscale until you mouse hover them? It's just eyecandy not really functional request
* Please enable the option to alter the directory for costum (.png) icons
* The ability to drag AveDesklet's to the dock & Vice-versa to the desktop.
* Make the dock remember the font settings & colors
I love this Dock..... the only thing I'd like to see is the ability to drag a file over the icon for that file's aplication and it open the file.
I Know this is only beata 0.3 but wow I use it as my only dock I've ditched Object dock plus even though I had paid for it. I think this is the best dock for PC ever. thanks RK. ![]()
RK dock RawKs!
*About the icons... just make the option to change the folder path, the way to change icons is very usefull instead of "opening" an archive.
*The "return focus to window" option.
A minimize better effect. Or no effect because that one sucks...

Building off this, if you move the mouse over the dock but don't click anything, the focus should return to the window that last had it. Otherwise, you have to reselect the window that was active. Thanks!
If you request something please try to read the previous requests
so that the same request won't be posted more than once.
This will help me alot. Thank you ![]()
Just the usual exclusion list for the minimize effect (which _doesn't_ suck!).
-KKMenu support (the new OD1.11 doesn't support it, which is odd)
-ability to turn off the minimise to Dock feature, or the animation that precedes it
-ability to change the thumbnail at the corner of minimised windows for differetn apps
-some sort of hardware acceleration would be sweet
-allowing the minimised apps/windows to also appear in the taskbar
-don't hate me for all these requests ![]()
Guys its a launcher , not a dock ![]()
I am already happy with 0.3 features, hope next release will 'complete / improve' them.
-the ability minimize specific instances of programs, like instant messanger windows, instead of every aspect of the program
![]()
I think one of the first things that should be looked at is to make it use less resources.

yeah i agree. less as possible.
we understand that it should use lots of resource because of the some features but if possible as it can.
not sure if i said it already, but i will list my list here
1 automatic resizing when icon population makes dock exceed allowed width of dock (objectdock has that)
2 not a bug or feature, more bouncy bounce effect.( icon just goes up and down in the beta version)
3 instalation (isn't nessarry, but would be cool)
4 diffrent levels of performance and quality settings. more capadible with slow and fast computers.
5 have docklets still interact with the minimized to dock windows. (itunes docklet won't detect itunes anymore when minimized)
6. have it autostart in windows option
Option to bring to front with hotspot(like the show with autohide) even with autohide off.
-so rk launcher can always be displayed.
one thing i would not want to see added is y'z dock theme support.
- i think it would bloat the dock a little i rather see a seperate app to do this.
I would like to see full compatibility with Y'z Dock backgrounds. I once tried to convert one of my Y'z Dock backgrounds for RK Launcher, but it was too buggy for normal use.
