An Open-source Dock

"Think different". It seens that we need an open-source dock. ;)

I wonder if Mr. Y would release his source? Moby also. Then use the best from both. 3D accelerated Y's dock. Awesome ;)

#36339

seconded

needs more "you can't stop us now" power, and less "i am the programmer, this is my intellectual property that i can never use again because apple banned it"

#36343

I personally think an open-source Dock would be superb :)

We could get all the code and teams together, and build a SUPERDOCK!! © :P

#36348

well there is an open source dock for linux so far.. its pretty good actually the magnification is just right!

heh if someoen wants to take the code and somehow convert it for windows... by all means

its located at

www.kde-look.org

its called Ksmoothdock

Edit: heres the link here http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=6585

if you search more other people took the source code and made little forks of it like bug fixes.. tiny other features ect ect

Looks like quite a good program Bolero. Could anyone who has Linux tell us how good it is? :huh:

#36354

It sucks. No real transparency and really buggy. But hey, it was only released like 3 weeks ago. It took the win docks years.

#36359

yea no real transparency but... im sure someone brave enough can rip it apart and modify it for windows to use windows transp[arency etc etc

i dunno im probebly dreaming but hey anythings possible!

btw, "they" "think different"; we shoud too, but in another direction. but before starting a new project, make sure u guys are 100% safe. not that our "friends" come in a few years with a friendly letter.

i think there are no transparency on KSmoothDock because there's only 24bit support for icons on Linux. am i right?

#36369

yz dock capabilites and features |+| using the od or moby engine...

super-duper-dock.

#36373

I actually vote to call it "My Huge 9" Dock".

:woot:

#36375

I think you guys cannot start to think about a open source dock using the existent ones if the actual authors (at least Moby and Mr. Yamaguchi) doesn't have shown any intention to release their respective codes.

Please remember that they're owners of his code and you shouldn't start to push. After all, we don't even know if the sad issue with Apple is true or if they will be able to keep ahead with their respective projects.

Personally, I wouldn't like to see people talking about my project when the things still so unclear.

Just my two cents.

#36387

>.< Maybe we could call it "Touch my Dock".

#36389

No sen, 24Bits = 32Bits.

Its because Transparency isn't built into XFree86.

A commercial:

[scene 1]Camera fades into a dark home office. Opposite camera is a male, back to camera, sitting in front of a glowing computer screen. The male has one hand on his mouse, one hand is in his lap. The computer screen is blocked from view. A short moan is heard from the user.

[scene 2] CLOSEUP of male users face. Computer screen is still not shown. Eyes are moving back and forth across screen. The user is smiling.

MALE USER: Oh! Oh yeah! YEAH BABY!

[sound] Mouse clicks are heard...they grow faster and faster...

[scene 3]Cut back to camera view 1 of dark home office. Male users mouse arm is franticly moving.

MALE USER: Hell YEAH! Oh! Oh yeah!Ohhhhhh....

[sound]Frantic mouse clicks stop as users finishes exclaimations

[scene 4]Close up of open source dock on computer monitor, message overlays screen

Text across screen reads "9 out of 10 users play with their dock".
