For me OD, because it has more functionality. However, the problem is the company who created OD, StarDock. OD has not been updated for a long time, even though there are still bugs and even many users have experienced some bugs. It seems StarDock is busy with many other projects that they are abandoning OD. I even saw some members' posts got deleted and they got banned from posting at OD forum, just because the company could not answer back when they were complaining and criticizing about how StarDock works. It looks like SD is trying to hide the horrible fact. So, I won't buy OD+, at least until they have a new stable version or until they've set their mind on OD once more. But again, I would still think twice, I don't want to be a mindless "fanboy" and cash cow. My 2 cents.

Thanks for trying to help, tmr250z. But I already got it from my months of searching and waiting. Here is another similar one, in case someone needs it. http://silv3rmind.deviantart.com/art/Glass...KKMenu-49064310 Or this one, http://tonisl78.deviantart.com/art/real-vi...KkMenu-66060468

Maybe a transparent image? Or maybe you could make the graphic smaller (not the whole size), but only the graphic, so in the dock it shows smaller, thus more space.

Can someone please upload this KKMenu skin? http://fc05.deviantart.com/fs7/i/2005/224/...13_by_judge.jpg I have been waiting and searching for months, but no news so far. I believe, some members of this forum must have the skin.

Ahh... it's my fault. I'm portablizing the OD, so I control the writes of the OD. And basically, I forgot to allow the .dll to write the settings. Sorry for that. Now, I'm a happy user. Thanks.

OD has not been updated for a long long time. I guess that's why the SDK also lacks of functionality. Too bad, it could be cool though. However, I just found a way to change the volume by using right-click & hold & moving mouse up/down, it needs additional software called scroll++, http://www.carltonbale.com/2007/02/how-to-...o-scroll-wheel/. With scroll++, you could emulate wheel scroll by holding right-click and mouse up or down, and it works with your docklet, nice. But, I don't know whether it would work on Vista or not though. And another suggestion. Perhaps, more option to modify the docklet info besides the size, such as: change the text color and the text position. Good luck with the slider "dialog" thingy, and it seems you fix the dependency of image as now I could use only 2 image files. Thank you. PS: One more thing, I just realized that I couldn't save the settings. With the new docklet, "Show Volume Percentage" and "Show Mute Status" are always checked upon restart. Could you check it? Maybe it's because of my PC, I have an unusual PC configuration.

Actually, before, I tried an application called PowerMixer from http://www.actualsolution.com/. PowerMixer allows users to change vol by scrolling on the systray icon. Users could mute the vol by clicking the systray too. But, my scroll wheel is not working properly and I don't have scroll wheel on my laptop.So, I'm using an application called VolumeTray, http://www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Au...olumeTray.shtml It allows users to change volume by right-click and hold or left-click and hold on the systray. it is convenient and fast to change volume and I can use it on my laptop too. Since, their functionalities are not conflicting with each other (one uses scroll wheel, the other uses right or left click), I thought it would be nice if the docklet could do it all. Regarding the slider, it would be nice to have a customizeable dialog. But, if it needs too much work, the default OS slider is ok for me. But, I'm sure, the hardcore would love to be able to customize a vol slider. And, it seems the docklet depends on the image file. Example, if I remove glass.png, the dock shows question mark. The first version doesn't show question mark. Maybe it's a good idea to make it doesn't depend on image file. Just checked the new version, so far so good. I will let you know if anything happens. Thanks. @Bebi_Bulma: The new version has parameter just below the command. You could add /tray so, when you click and hold, it will show the tray volume applet on WinXP. However, I believe, changing it, will change the volume control instead wave. Maybe it is better for you.

Hi, Bebi_Bulma. Perhaps it is not hooked with the API. If you double-click on the docklet icon, will it mute the sound? Yes, I already suggested something like that. So, a simple left-click will open something like this: http://www.wincustomize.com/zoom.aspx?skinid=644&libid=34And I also suggested left-click and hold will increase volume, right-click and hold will decrease volume. I believe, this can be the only volume docklet that we ever needed.

Thank you for listening to my suggestions and for the update. I have tried the new version. The ability to change font size and to hide label work great. However, it seems the new version depends on the volume image (0-100 png). Without it, the dock shows question mark. The old version, I believe, does not depend on the vol image as I could use 2 images only, Volume.png and muted.png. And maybe you could make it easier to skin (no need for 100 png images). The dock uses the previous used image if no image is available. Example, I want the image to change on volume level 1-25%, 26-50%, 51-75%, and 76-100%. So, I only need 6 images: 0.png, begin.png, 25.png, 50.png, 75.png and 100.png. When the vol is at 1-24 the dock will use begin.png. If vol is 25 of course it will use 25.png. But, when the vol is 26, the dock checks for 26.png. If 26.png not available, it uses the previously used, which is 25.png. Hopefully, it won't take much CPU because up and down the vol would need different checking. It would be bother if changing vol takes cpu. That was only an example so users don't have to create many PNGs. A new docklet? Hmm.. can't wait to see it. Good luck with the works, and thank you again.

The docklet is not available anymore in Wincustomize. I wrote small suggestions there. I guess, I would write it here. First, I would like to say thank you to fedroponce for the wonderful docklet. For me, it is the coolest and most customizable volume docklet that has ever existed. The others can only change volume from a menu, only shows the standard win volume, or not as beautiful as this one, not to mention, it's fully customizable. This is simply a brilliant docklet. It works fine on my PC (XP SP2). However, I experienced only once, a glitch when it didn't change the mute status (when I double-click) even though the system already un-mute. Not a biggie though, simple restart of OD fixes it. My suggestions are: Besides using the scroll, left-click and hold to increase volume and right-click and hold to decrease volume. Some users may prefer to use click instead scroll. And also, one left-click would open a scroller, like: http://www.wincustomize.com/skins.aspx?skinid=644&libid=34. This is not necessary, it's just to make things complete, so users could change volume with whatever method they are used to. That's it for now. Thank you again for the docklet.

Still no words about this skin. Can someone please upload the skin? It is one of the best skin for KKMenu, it deserves more acknowledgment.

Thank you for trying to help. On my hours of search, I managed to find that one too. There are not many skin for KKMenu, even though I believe it's one of the best for OD and for others (the command-line). Hope later on people would acknowledge KKMenu more.

I have been looking for this skin for hours. From only a picture here: http://fc05.deviantart.com/fs7/i/2005/224/...13_by_judge.jpg, until I could assume that this skin is this one. The Tiger Skin is available in the osx-e.com, but I want the "Aero Frost". Could someone be so kind to uploaded it somewhere? Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
