Hello!
I use the Stacks Docklet in combination with RocketDock and so far im quite pleased.
BUT: How can I change the default Folder Icon in the Fan-Menu?
I still have this yellow default image, but I have installed a black/white Icon Pack with StarDock IconPackager. When I open up my Stacks Docklet, it somehow doesnt fit the whole Design of my Windows XP at all and is kinda disturbing...
Image is attached.
Reshacking your Shell32.dll file?
And how do I do that?
Hi all,
i made a small program which allow you to use stack docklet in the taskbar or even on the desktop ( without any dock),
i just wait for Matonga to know if i can distribute it with stack docklet.
So, see you later on w w w.chrisnsoft.com

you could try Icon Packager also. 
NetOperator Wibby:
I have IconPackager from Stardock already, but just applying a Theme doesnt do the trick.
Or does IconPackager has an option to replace the default icons in the shell32.dll ?
No.
I have IconPackager as well. It works for me. In my case, I changed each icon I had in the folder manually. They changed just fine.
How can I get my stack docklet to be in a semicircle type formation like here: pariah07.deviantart.com/art/Docks-For-Windows-Taskbar-51263482 with arrows at the side. Mine is just a big arc that goes off the screen.

That is a function of object dock plus called "flyout mode"
I have it, but I don't use it too much, I def. prefer these stacks, or even kkmenu.
Stardock's flyout menu stinks. It takes a big gash out of your cpu and it really isnt that useful.

I use the WinStyler from TuneUp Utilities and it works fine, same folders everywere...
IconPackager doesnt chance the icons in shell32.dll i think 
, may be wrong though...
Try4Ce
Try IconTweaker, ITS FREE and has a lot of cool features and can change the default icons of windows... get it here crystalxp.net/galerie/en.id.83-icontweaker-joost-verburg-explorer-tools.htm
and maybe Folderico for changing some individual folders, you can find it in the same page.
ok, i need to wait for Matonga before release it...
@ChristianS
I can't wait to see that. I see no reason why Matonga would be against your releasing your app, yet I undestand it's more correct to ask for permission.
I hope Mathias will reappear soon
@ChristianS
Maybe post a link to those screen shots you showed me so people have an idea of how it looks!
Mathias has created a monster following...his apps are awesome. 
there nothing to see appart of the stack :

( sorry for the bad links, it says "You can not post links or images at this time. Please edit your post." i don't know why... )
ok, i release just the exe, without the stack docklet, for the forum :
( change to www in the link )
w ww.chrisnsoft.com/wp-content/uploads/standalonestack.zip
So, you must copy the directory "StackDocklet" in the same directory of StandaloneStack.exe ( extract StadaloneStack.zip in a real directory, for example C:standalonestack )
Create a shortcut on StandaloneStack.exe (right click->Create shortcut).Right-click on this shortcut, choose properties.At the end of "Target" field, enter the name of your stack, for example "desktop" (without quote "").
( change the name for each stack you do)
You should have in the target field of the shortcut : C:standalonestackStandaloneStack.exe desktop
Double-click on the shortcut, the stack docklet properties should appears, and then, choose the "stacked" folder you want. Click OK.
Now, double-click on the shortcut to show the stack.
You can now move the shortcut in the taskbar toolbar or in the desktop.
If you want to change the properties of the stack, hold SHIFT or CTRL key and double-click on the shortcut.
Shortcut parameters :
: the name of the stack, each stacks must have a different name.
/notaskbar : the stack will not follow the taskbar orientation.
/top or /bottom or /left or /right : force the orientation of the stack
@ChristianS
Thanks, your program and Matongas stack works great in the Taskbar, and I can also add it to my stack in the Dock (ObjectDock), and use it to open a new sub stack/folder in grid or fan mode.
You two should start a co-operation

Whoa, ChristianS, that app you just made is mighty helpful in making stacks within stacks, just as NighthawkF117 said so! Thanks a million! 
But there's something I noticed: If there are two stack names that have the same ending number (example: abcd 5 and efgh 5) they are treated as the same and when clicked, both will show the same folder. To escape this, it is necessary to enclose each stack name with quotation marks (so that "abcd 5" and "efgh 5" won't be recognized as the same anymore).
Because of this new flexibility, the demand for the long-awaited multi-line filename in Grid mode is greater... I sure hope that it would be implemented soon.
By the way, I noticed another subsorting bug: Let's say we have two folders named Folder and Folder 2 in a stack. When I sort that stack according to name or kind, Folder 2 goes before Folder. Can this be fixed, matonga? Thanks .

Yes, you're right.
as the name is given in parameter, if you put a space in the name, this make 2 parameters, and i take only the last...( so 5 in your case).
In fact, the name is use to save the docklet settings in the .ini file. If you look at settings.ini, you'll see a line [5] with the settings under it.
So don't add space in the name...
I've updated standalonestack.zip , there was a bug... the program didn't close if you open too many stacks... it's fixed.
i really like the standalone stacks, but i have a question about stacks-in-stacks - is it possible to have a second stack open without the first closing? 'cos it looks a but silly having a stack floating in the middle of nowhere.
@ChristianS
When I placed a shortcut in Dock. every click makes program popup the stack.
could you change it a little.
one click open, another click close.

you're right, but i can't do anything, it's for Matonga...
But how close the stack then ?
Ok tengshj, i changed it, download it again...
