Challenge!

Okay, now with OD 0.99 out and having these amazing new features built in, I am wondering if someone out there might be up to the challenge of making a docklet that can animate when the app calls for it.

Yes, I am talking about something like the real dock animations, like when you print something.

I would really like to see a print icon for OD that, when something is send to the printer it will show (animate) it printing a paper. Can this be done, and is there somebody that is willing to tackle this challenge?

BTW, just want to let Jeff know, absolutly amazing!

thanks :D

btw, yes something like this could definitly happen, assuming someone knows how to tap into the print spooler to know when a document is being printed.

i personally do not, but i bet it's possible, and yes it is definitly possible with the OD Docklet format.

the docklet stuff might not be that awesome yet... but once the plugins start comin out it's going to be very cool :)

If anyone is interested in trying to make a docklet or app to do this let me know. I have the 'resource' files that might be able to help you in developing this.

Albeik, would you be interested? And or could you do this?
