RK Launcher Update Thread

Great work. You rock Raduking. It's realy cool that you have kept working on your app and improving it unlike other people that do not finish it. Is there anyway to add the little border at the bottom. Like when you maximize a window and it does'nt cover the dock. That would be awsome. And maybe sometime in the far future you could do the cliping thing. When you hold down the mouse. But it's amazing right now. You rock!

yep. that would make things a lot simpler for avoiding gameplay issues and still having perfect usablility of the dock.

#294889

New build 152 up.

plans for next build:

- exclusions for windows and applications

- drop on dock items

#296997

Zowie! Hehe

Thanks raduking, each time I move my mouse to reveal the auto-hidden RK Launcher it makes me so appreciative of your work!

#296998

thanks. the msn feature and more fps is certinally a great achievement.

however, the problem with new messenger windows (if someone first messages you) it dosen't show up in the dock. i still have to quit objectbar, and view my taskbar for any updates like new messages from other people. but great improvement. thanks!

#297093

i'm not sure i understand what U mean...

#297113

Liked the release. :)

#297118

Raduking, if i minimize my message window in miranda the contact list also minimizes...

#297119

The minimize-effect works fine with Trillian :D

#297140

Radu my friend, improvements u made!

#297198

Ah. sorry. here's an example then.

i don't have any msn windows open, all are closed, but msn is logged in and running.

suddenlly, somebody sends me a message. but, it dosen't appear on the dock, nor does it appear as a window in front of me. because of the fact that i use objectbar my taskbar is hidden. and because the new message window is secretlly minimized in the taskbar and rklauncher didn't detect or is aware of that new window,

consenquently, i have not been notified about the new message at all.

i cannot notice the message unless i notice the sound that is played if i had my speakers on, but, it isn't.

because of this, i have to close objectbar, and then check the once-hidden taskbar for any messages periodically, and my friends are irratated about my "ignorance" and "attitude".

this is just a little story to illisturate my fustration with the dock. i loved the improvement and development of the dock, but there are still some annoying flaws that can be removed.

@S@m

Miranda windows behave correctly for me - 4.0.1 + clist_classic + nConvers

@steelfist

don't you get a try notification at least ? can't you set messenger to pop the window open ?

the problem is not just with msn anyway: all new windows that appear already minimised will behave the same way. RKL doesn't know they are minimized, so they won't be shown. I think you will have to wait for some kind of system tray docklet :slant:

#297201

yes. i know that feature, but i don't use it. if i do, it won't make much difference for me really. hardlly notice it.

and, it's not raduking's fault. it's the stupid interface of microsoft's msn. they should have made the program more flexible. and it will solve most of radukings' problems.

Running iTunes: perfect, also correct minimising to Dock.

But...if I close iTunes, it minimises to to Dock too...?!?

#297348

is this the update thread or the bug reports thread??? i remember that radu said: "please do not post bug reports for nightly builds- thank you " so...

I had this problem with iTunes and the Multiplugin, too.

With iTunes 4.8.0.31 and MPlugin 0.52 it closes and minimizes fine :D

#297387

larsen is right it has to do with one of the plugins u use...

#297388

bah. sorry i forgot about the non bug posting issue. sorry :P. so. what do i have to edit in muliplugin to remove this problem?

#297427

I had this problem with iTunes and the Multiplugin, too.

With iTunes 4.8.0.31 and MPlugin 0.52 it closes and minimizes fine :D

Using iTunes version 4.8.0.32 and Mplugin version 0.6.1.0.

So I need an older version of Mplugin? Thought that wouldn't work with iTunes 4.8???

#297445

um. i noticed that when i minimized an application, it still appears on the taskbar. unlike the previous build. why is that? i feel more comfortable using the 1.41 style.

#298241

radu, when photoshop windows are minimized, they go to the dock. and when i close the itunes, a window of it will still go to the dock even if the itunes is already gone. now that's odd.

#299840

same with limewire i must add

#301786

why oh why , rklauncher never remember my custom icon (for those app that i don't put stay on dock). new build comes up and this bug still there. why oh why.

Oh, you lead such a hard life :slant:

Why don't you open up the config file, scroll down to the bottom, and manually edit the icons?
