Here is the new version of the 8 Ball docklet (and I think this will be the last)
8Ball_v0.2.zip (53 kb)
screenshots:
when you left click:
some new features in the .ini:
caption=Magic 8 Ball >>> this is the docklet caption (for thoses who want to custom it)
font=Arial >> the font of the answer 
size=20 >> the size of it
time=1 >> the time in seconds when the 8 Ball returns to normal
enjoy !

SIWU:
Will you be providing an option for offsetting the text in future releases?
I'm using this INI:
[GLOBAL]
caption=Magic 8 Ball
font=Arial
size=20
time=1
numbers=20
0=Signs point to yes.
1=Yes.
2=Reply hazy, try again.
3=Without a doubt.
4=My sources say no.
5=As I see it, yes.
6=You may rely on it.
7=Concentrate and ask again.
8=Outlook not so good.
9=It is decidedly so.
10=Better not tell you now.
11=Very doubtful.
12=Yes - definitely.
13=It is certain.
14=Cannot predict now.
15=Most likely.
16=Ask again later.
17=My reply is no.
18=Outlook good.
19=Don't count on it.
Every few times the PNG will change to the one for the answer, but no text comes up.
Is is because of something I've done to the INI?
Forgive my ignorance but what exactly does this do?? Is this some kinda fortune-telling thingy??

Looking great siwu. I have noticed that the ball keeps overlayed by the "item selected color" until I move the mouse a liitle over the ball, which makes the messages harder to read. Would it be possible to fix this so that the icon gets overlayed or selected only while left clicking?
And a suggestion: would it be possible to implement the message to stay while mouse over instead of a concrete time?
Thank you
Very nice update siwu!. And Thanks!!. 
But when you click on it the answer is darker. Only when you move the mouse become more clear. I know its because is a feature of Yz'Dock (when you click on any icon this become for a sec darker), but is there an alternative to avoid that?. And can I suggest something on the ini file add an option to select the png used (there is a 8 ball that post DZ that to me looks more cool, Im not saying that your png looks bad, but I think it will be more 'open' if you can select the png that you wants :canadian: ). Another thing, that time options its really cool (in ini file) ! Thanks!

Well, it's a feature of Y'z dock and it cannot be avoided, sorry guys
but you can increment the time parameter over 1 second, because Y'z dock darks the icon for 1s only
siwu, will this work in Object Dock?
If not, how do I install it in YZ dock?
I just tried to get it to work in YZ dock, and it doesnt. Any instructions would be appreciated?!

extract the file on docklets directory and add docklet from Yz'Dock (right button over the dock)... Simple
OK OK
I got it to work, apparently I had the older 070 dock, not the new 082. it works now\
BTW: Excellent work, only bug is that it didnt work with an older version of the YZ dock. Works perfectly with 082. Weather applet as well~!
:woot:

thats basically it
you know for the times when u just cant make up your mind
thats when this docklet comes in handy
LOL, BY FAR THE MOST FUN I'VE EVER had with Y'z Dock! Thanks for something so kewl, I use it on my friends all the time. My favorite part is being able to replace the origional quotes with some of my own! I cant add any though for some reason, it always just comes up blank... am I doing something wrong or does it have something to do with the DLL only being programmed for a certain # of phrases? O well, could care less, it still kicks-ass
BTW: 200th POST BABY! BOOYA!

well, if you edit the fortunes, be sure to correctly set the numbers parameter correctly
the .ini has been made so it could be configurable
Hey, Could you somehow let the docklet use BSD/GNU fortune files? There are files with thousands of quotes, and they are just text files. I think that would be cool. (Y)
man this is a funny docklet;
i asked it if im gonna make the test today before i have read, then it says " Not a changes" etc,
And then after i studdie then it says " theres a changse"
guess what i finished it i did get it 
Thanks for this goo... freaky thing (Y)
peace
