Aqua-Soft ForumsLOLI actually achieved a pretty good effect with RKLauncher:
Holy shit, thats amazing. How did you do that?
Real Reflective Dock Mission Statement and Download
Bugs? With what? RKL?Why not just check the RKL forum then?
Tons of bugs posted there.
Naming Rant:
Whats wrong with calling it RKL 2.0? (other than RK isn't developing it, and there was never a 1.0)
I mean, it is based off of the RKL source.
Could always be something like,
PurryLauncher
-Formerly RKLauncher
Not bugs from RKL, from the current dock we have now. Its not very functional but were looking for bugs like. "The images mess up etc.."
Then don't get a topic name like yours, something like "Reflective Dock (Tech Preview) bug report thread"
Holy shit, thats amazing. How did you do that?
Flip the active Icon and position it under the dock in avedesk, samurize, or any desktop enhancement application.

Wow thats nice. AveDesk isnt working on my vista..any other programs that do that?
Thats not very functional, i have spent the time reflection my icons,
but this isn't for everyone, the only issue that i have is that my
icon reflections don't line up perfectly.
wow, that's pretty good!

its a lot more functional than you think, only thing is that when you magnify, the reflections dont follow along.

There's an example. I've used samurize for a dock background, seperator image, and flipped icons. The regular icons and indicators are RK launcher in 64x64 with the top margin set to 15, and a transparent background. The trick is to have a certain amount of icons and just switch them out when you do change icons. Also, using samurize allows for good resizing of pre-rendered leopard resources, usually done in photoshop. It sounds complicated at the moment, but when you do have them positioned, it can be maintained with ease.
EDIT: Beef, try to lower margins, and the icons don't fade out on the leopard dock, if emulation is what you were going for.
Hm.. Ok.
Well this is mine with refflective icons, not flipped avedesk desklets
What´s the advantage of having the icons mirrored in Avedesk, than the "traditional" way with iReflector?
Better Icon spacing, better look, less work in photoshop, better overall look. RK doesn't handle iReflector reflections very well.

Plus, i hate iReflector, and besides the icons dont fade out like they do with iReflector.
Once again, i will ask, is there any other way that i can get flipped icons other than in avedesk, because avedesk doesnt work for me.
You could make your own mac-dock clone that does that automatically.
Sorry, I had to say it.
Anyway...
How do we report bugs on a concept application, made by another programmer, that doesn't really do anything but hog CPU cycles?

Samurize is also an option.
i thought this was about the concept dock and making it better so we didnt need little fake reflectors

We are still discussing the subject. If you dont like it you can leave. Hm?
any progress on this dock? or are the issues still the same?

Progress is the same because Radu King has not yet given us the source code, however he has contacted me and I will receive the source shortly.
that makes all the difference, im not saying i dont like the conversations, i was just confused, sorry
OK to everyone, i just want to clarify the both kinds of dock icon reflections. The first one is were the
reflection just fades. The other one is were the reflection fades and also tapers off. I bring this up
mainly because in my opinion the one that tapers off is superior to the other one because it takes
much more work to make. See diagram.
The other reason why i bring this up is because i think that this concept needs to been included in
this dock, what ever you are going to call it, or if you don't want to include both then you can just
have a vote to decide.
lol u say see diagram but i see no diagram 
where is it?
Is there a way a mask could be used, so the user can decide what kind of reflection is made?
I like the leopard dock's reflection, but some people may like a faded one better.
I'm really looking forward to the final product.

when do you guys expect to have it out???
