@mmike and daxliniere: I run a similar AHK script which simply hides and unhides all XWD windows on the ctrl+shift+r hotkey. Not for everyone, but it's pretty useful for me. GroupAdd, XWDWins, XWindows Dock return ^+r:: WinGet, visible, Count, XWindows Dock if visible = 0 WinShow, ahk_group XWDWins else WinHide, ahk_group XWDWins return Cheers, Andrew

The no indicator problem is probably because the dock items are being linked to shortcuts, and not the actual application. To fix this, drag the .exe of the program to the dock instead of a shortcut. Also, ensure that Objectdock docklets go in the "docklet" folder, and XWD docklets go in the "plugin" folder.

If you're on XP, backup: C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Application Data\XWindows Dock\items.ini otherwise, use the equivalent for your OS.

Dock looks lovely. Lotelin is right though, you have a memory leak in the stacks plugin.

I've noticed recently that shortcuts to microsoft office applications (the weird ones that look something like ::{19875482346912378464}) don't work in XWD stacks. I get error: the parameter is incorrect. Any insights?

open it with wordpad or something. Notepad is known to not recognize unix-style newlines, and makes editing stuff a pain.

unfortunately, no. 2.0 has a completely new API

cool update, wicked stacks docklet any chance of an SDK to go along with it some time in the future? just one request so far: could you get it to hide the "lnk" extension for shortcuts? At the moment, all of my stacks are shortcuts to applications, and it looks kind of odd with those being displayed.

you don't say... that's awesome!

something like shift+click to start a new task would be pretty sweet. The solution found was to configure it inside another dock, and copy the configuration into XWD's folder in application data. I explained it more detail in an earlier post here. Basically, you can't do it right inside XWD at the moment. Not a huge problem since configuring a docklet isn't something that you do that often anyway.

As a temporary fix, I've found that copying the configuration over from, say, rocketdock will work. open rocketdock\docklets\settings.ini copy the docklet you want open Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\XWindows Dock\Docklets open the ini of the docklet you want to paste it to paste

completely by hand, because the new system is completely different from the old one. For starters, take a look at the files in skins/current/ from your 5.6 installation, copy the relevant files to a new folder, rename them to what they should be, and start tinkering with the settings.

If it's the skin you're using, try changing back to the original skin. Bobah will probably have better advice, but if all else fails, you could try to take a look at the ini files in C:/Documents and Settings/USERNAME/Application Data/XWindows Dock/ and see if you notice any problems (or delete them, which would reset your dock).

Here's some quick and dirty AutoHotkey code to cause XWindows Dock to toggle visibility when you ctrl+alt+R (just like rocketdock) #NoTrayIcon GroupAdd, XWDWins, XWindows Dock return ^!r:: WinGet, visible, Count, XWindows Dock if visible = 0 WinShow, ahk_group XWDWins else WinHide, ahk_group XWDWins return of course, an official solution with nice animation, etc would be great, but this works as a temporary workaround if you need to run something fullscreen or what have you.

@aka120: I don't know about sticky notes, but you should be able to add sound recorder to it fine... Try dropping it straight from system32? The program itself is called "sndrec32.exe" I think a way to modify an icon's path would be nice. (I'm supposing that Bobah removed it to keep things simple) and maybe make it convert shortcuts into applications, with working directory and arguments auto-detected. Edit: just confirmed that sndrec32 does indeed work on my computer at least (running XP sp3)

I've noticed that if your skin.ini isn't configured properly for your images, xwd may crash.

Glow skin 2D dock included as well. Download: http://www.box.net/shared/vxqtxfq6sz

Great new start still getting a feel for the new features/interface will there be a new thread for themes, etc?

Hm. I tried to make a theme, at it looks like 2d-background-right-bottom doesn't work like it should. when I try to make a theme where the size of the top piece and the size of the bottom piece are different, I get a strange glitch at the bottom right corner. Also, I notice that you're telling the middle pieces to tile vertically, but it would work better if it was stretched. here's an image showing both problems: />http://img37.imagefra.me/img/img37/2/1/24/andrewyy/f_uhyqgj4m_40fb3dc.jpg

ah of course, silly me.

everything looks like it's working out great so far. Just one problem: I can't seem to get Matonga's stack docklet (2.0) to work. I'm putting it into the Docklets folder, but it's not showing up in the plugins menu? other OD docklets seem to work, just not this one.

try editing the dockitems.xml manually to find that item and erase it.

also, as Bobah said several times, it works perfect on win 7 this time

Matonga's stacks and the old XWD's stacks were both pretty equal in terms of features, but I liked how you could go into the XWD stacks, and change icons, settings, etc. Custom animations was pretty cool too.
