The moment you all have been waiting for...

RK , this looks great. even better, the soundtrack of the movie is kicking ass, the music i like !

WOW! that is friggin incredible!!!

How is it on the system? IE. is it using a lot of resources or not so much?

Also, so, how does this work? Will icons stop showing up in the taskbar, or will they just show in both? Is there an option to remove them from the taskbar?

#318216

Can I make a request since you guys are incorporating Alladin into the dock? Do you thing you could make a little ripple effect like when you close a widget in dashboard for when you close a window?

#318518

Already got Uber Icon, has no functionality for close and minimize, only open... at least for now.

It's still a new product, so I'm waiting for people to send in some home-made plugins.... But I'd like to see it in RK Launcher

#318698

kman, this is not a request thread.

#319021

I know.... :sigh:

Congratulations... this is not only a milestone for RKLaucher, but for whole AquaSoft community... Genie Effect was, until now, something as the pot of gold far far away on the end of the rainbow. And you are taking us nearer, nearer, nearer...

Well I'd prefer to see some real functionnality in the next version like tabs, multiple docks, better performance ... For example, icons magnification is a nice CPU eater. I know that it is so for all other dock applications, cause I've tried them all, but anyway - solving this might be a good way to make RKLauncher different and better than the others. So, for me the aption U're hailing here, seems just like a bloat that will make RK to eat more resources and that's all.

Part of that is slightly incorrect... because the genie effect has already been done. :P It was made for WindowFX, but of course it doesn't work 100% correctly. Anyways I don't think that really matters.

Yet on the other hand you are right as no other dock has had the genie effect before

Well I'd prefer to see some real functionnality in the next version like tabs, multiple docks, better performance ...

Don't you think it's a bit early to be adding tabs to RK? It is only up to 0.4. And RK already said that the dock is 2x faster :)

If you want, you can disable it :P

Yes, you're almost right... you just did forget something... a small something, but somethin important. THis is AquaSoft... a Mac Emulation Community... so, i guess the objective is to emulate MacOSX bar as close as possible in windows... and, so far, RK Laucher has taken us much closer than anydock, tabbed or not, had done.

If you want tabbed things, maybe you should try for a Dragthing clone... and so far as i know, i guess that has been already done somewhere.

#319225

RK has indeed done a superb job with this dock, still in order to enable OS-X emulation for the masses you have to bare in mind that not everyone has the latest P4 and enough resources to use the applications to the fullest.

by enabling people the ability to choose certain features and to disable other features you reach more people. either way I am looking forward for the next release of RK launcher because it seems to be, in my oppinion, a milestone that will establish new standards for docks.

#319260

where is the new daily build?

#319326

The lastest nightly build is located here: http://www.aqua-soft.org/board/showthread.php?t=24982, and there hasn't been a new one released since then.

Good point, I must agree, but still, I just think that the launcher is something U should use, not just watch, right ? This would be a great improvement ... for version 1.5 let's say, but for 0.5 ...

De gustibus, but remember you're posting in Aqua-soft forum, as already said. :P

RKLauncher already have od and yz docklet support (a great feature), it has very few bug and it has low system usage.

And it's still in beta..

So, be patient, guys and wait for the future release / new feature. :)

#319468

thanks Asdrubale88 i subscribe to that...

#319485

[OT]My RealDock theme is ready to be released, waiting for you ;)

Don't worry, i think people can wait a little while..[/OT]

#319489

The genie effect looks awesome! Any clue on how well it would run on a 1GHz AMD Thunderbird and GeForceFX 5500OC?

Perhaps, you should wait a little longer before release, just to irritate us all :P And to perfect it, of course :D

Well, I'm not looking forward to seeing my PC as a Mac, but there are certain features in the Mac that I really wanted to see, in Wondows, and you guys helped me a lot, thanks!

#320326

Now that you're back into development (heavily from the looks of things) why not start up the nightly builds again?

#320531

One suggestion, probable for quite far in the future:

Since Expose clones might have trouble with the minimized apps, how about turning RK Launcher into one as well? It's already able to scale and do the genie effect, so adding the Expose feature might be nice :)

Just a suggestion, if you know something more important, go straight ahead. :)

Maybe you missed the point. This app is supposed to emulate the REAL MAC OS dock...not that ObjectDock thing.

everything you asked for isn't a part of the REAL dock.

Oh, and FYI - try opening the System Processes on a Mac and watch the CPU when you hover over the Dock...same thing happens on a mac, so this isn't abnormal.

#321045

i like this app but can you make a few more optional features for it...flyout menus!.....also multiple docks....as these two things are the only things keeping me from this wonderful app

#321049

and again.. the aim is to emulate the mac dock. stick with object dock if you want all the bells and whistles
