Dashboard WidgetDock

Hi there,

new Release of my WidgetDock is online. v2.9b will fix some bugs and add some new features. This release needs Yahoo! Widgets 3.0 (or later) to be installed.

download WidgetDock v2.9b and WidgetDockMod v2.9b from www.siosae.de

Features:

New in v2.9b:

- changed tooltip for the items (add the items name)

- hide the widget manager icon, so you can open the manager window by clicking on the "manage widgets..." button directly

- opacity for the wheel button in the context menu

- enable the use of program icons again

- fixed bug on closing the widget manager with its icon shown in the dock

- fixed bug when selecting new destination of lost item

- fixed bug preventing the widget to load on mac os (hopefully)

- fixed bug inside the drag & drop feature

New in v2.9:

- commandline options for programs (via context menu in the widget manager)

- resize cross and manage widgets button with the dock

- fixed bug on screen position change after resize dock

- fixed false icon glow if a not found icon is left of clicked one

- fixed cutted cross and "manage widgets.." images

- fixed another switch screen position bug

- fixed cross/wheel - dock behaviour (e.g. rotation)

- fixed bug adding folders with certain names to dock while adding all widgets from a specified folder

- optimized performance of function "add all widgets from specified folder", a lot faster now

- changed bar switch handling (you can click on the whole left/right side now)

- added some more icons and placed them in a seperate folder (please read the icons_readme.txt for copyright)*

*thats the reason why its a bigger zip archive

Please read the readme.txt (liesmich.txt for german users) for detailed Installation Notes and Important Informations.

I hope you enjoy this widget.

have fun.

Amazing! you did a great job!

P.S.-

will there be support for .Kon files?

#300262

This is wonderful work, SioSae - works perfectly for me so far. Thank you!

#300265

Great job, SioSae. Thanks.

#300266

so are there 2 konfab docks now? i dont get it.. theres another thread for another similar konfab dock...

#300270

I don't use Konbab, but this sure looks good being a Beta.

Congrats & good luck improving it.

#300271

Great Job. Only Problem I seem to be getting is that the Widget manager widget wont stay closed after I'm done using it. If I go out of konspose and back in, the widget manager is opened again.

And a suggestion: is it possible to make it ignore the taskbar and allow it to be completely hidden within konspose, until you hit the plus sign? It keeps snapping up above the taskbar for me.

Again Excellent work! Can't wait for the animations and drag&drop support.

Thanks.

#300274

Very nice dock...by the time it is out of beta I'll have my iMac but keep up the good work!

@shockme17

I know there are two threads now, but I worked on my version for some time now and want to release a beta this evening. and why shouldn't do it on my own thread only because someone else was faster releasing his/her version.

@Binary

added your comments and suggestions to my open issues list.

konspose handling and final positioning isn't tested because of the beta status.

@jpgodlew

when will you get your mac?

...so the race is on

#300278

excellent job

SioSae check pm and your mail

#300280

Ordering it tomorrow! 1-3 days to configure and 5 days to ship...so that puts it on the 21st at the latest.

Can't wait for the animations!

#300284

@jpgodlew

hm, the 21st? first version should be available until then. :-)

perhaps i can win this race at least ;-)

@Ghostwalker

thank you for your mail.

#300290

Nice! thanks alot, whating for this =)

#300294

Dose spawning not work for anyone else? It just closes the widget and re-opens it for me...

I just spawned the weather widget and the translate widget with no problems

you might try deleting your registry entries for the widgets your trying.

#300309

one thing I would like to see if possible is to use .kon and .widget so that I can have a widgets Im working on in the dock. Gotta love the spawning.

#300310

I get this error :

#300355

I can't get the widgets to launch from the dock even though I already specified their locations....

#300359

i cant get the icons to show:(

#300363

I get this error :

I got that but it was because I was trying to open a .kon file instead of a .widget make sure its a .widget file you have linked to.on the weather widget I had to delete the registry settings after that it worked.

#300364

tarik you need to click on the 'i' located at the left bottom corner of the dock to open the menu and then click on the icon window to locate the specific icon.

#300365

oops you were faster than me. i figured it out. thanks a lot

#300370

Great job SioSae. Works perfectly for me.

#300391

adding animations and some more features today

@ghostwalker

support for .kon files will be added, but only without spawning i think.

#300393

SioSae managed to implement the functionalities... WELL DONE.

But he forgot about the graphics ... Damn that cross button is so bloody big
