None exists. And never will.

Now go and buy a real computer with a modern OS.

Change that... there was some huge POS flash based one out years ago.

It sucked.

icefire why are you still using Windows 98?

#460709

Can you tell me what the flash one was called? and it is not a choice, actually it is winME

#460712

Ahhhhh!!!!!!

Win ME!!!!!

Burn that evil thing!

As to your inquiry, I don't remember the name.

Search the forums.... it's here somewhere.

I think it was by Iceman..

//Edit: It might be, I can't tell. His site is down.

Yea... it was Flash Dock, but I know it hasn't been available for ages.

There was one called Orbit or Orbits that would run on ME with the .NET 1.1 libraries installed.

Not sure if that's still around either.

Didn't Y'z Dock work on 98+?

#460718

Orbit isn't really a duck..... Quack! (I meant dock...)

Thanks! I found icemans, am going to try it out...

About y'z dock: I don't think so. I see shadows (im on winxp right now - not what i want the dock for...), and shadows dont work before winxp... an older version??

I thought it was for XP only.. Just remember, no redistributing.;)

I was just inquiring.

Besides, there's always the apparent legal counterpart that someone ripped off that stole all the credit ;) .

I believe you are correct about the XP only. It's been so long.

Whats up with the "no distributing y'z dock " thing?

Whats up with the "no distributing y'z dock " thing?

Cease and Diciest letter from Apple stopped it's development and distribution.

Like Google cares...

#460741

Well then it's google's affair, not ours if we don't say a link ;)

Google can't be attacked thus, it only provides an search, not the downloadable file.

And I don't think an decent Dock is possible in Win98, coz it just miss many APIs that are included into Win2k & WinXP (you can't set the opacity of an window in 98, so I don't think alpha blending will be supported.)

PS : If your machine is too slow to run WinXP, then Orbit might be too slow to use (I remember it was wery ressource intensive)

I could always use one for DOS :P

#460794

Anyone know of a menubar for windows98 (I made my own "dock")??

#460811

don't think so mate, how about drawing one on your desktop background image and set the taskbar to 'auto hide' mode? That'll work for sure!

#460821

Does anyone have the 0.0.33 release of McBar: It worked, but i cant find it... (at least rimmer said...)?
