Larsen2k4 Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 A milestone of RK Launcher.... Dear Aqua-Soft members It is my pleasure to be the first to show you the most amazing feature of the upcoming RK Launcher 0.4 (Thanks to RaduKing ) As you all know, Radu has already done phenomenal work with his project and gave us the most realistic Apple Dock clone ever. But today he told me something, which seemed to be far away - and it's amazing: The Genie* is here! *in RKL: Alladins Lamp Effect To give you the first taste of it, I made a small quicktime-movie, so that you can see it in action. Updated video with updated effect: Click CLICK HERE or: Mirror 1 If you don't have QT7, try this version: Click See the effect in its real speed: Click (recorded with normal camera) http://carvetia.needlemen.com/larsen/rkl/a...in_live_web.wmv I'd like to thank RaduKing for his amazing and breathtaking work - it's a big honor for me to present the Alladins Lamp effect to the community.

sapienta Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 very nice... when will it be out ? Link to comment
ReidMedia Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 Awesome I love RK Launcher. Can't wait for the release. Do you know if this release will enable you to position RK Launcher above the task bar in Windows? I.E have the windows task bar at the bottom of the screen and then have RK Launcher directly above it instead of being below or on top. I'm sure this was a future request? Link to comment

Larsen2k4 Posted September 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 very nice... when will it be out ? It still takes some time - it's only the beginning. Radu still has to optimize etc. But don't worry... it will come Link to comment
AndreasV Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 What about a movie not in QT7 format? I want to compare performance Link to comment
Larsen2k4 Posted September 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 Updated first post (now with H.263 Codec for For all: Please notice that the effect is a lot faster, than you see on the video Link to comment
Gideon007 Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 download quicktime alternative http://www.free-codecs.com/download/QuickT...Alternative.htm so you can view quicktime movies without having to install dreadful quicktime. So where can we download build 169? (just kidding) Edit: Why do people have to instantly post feature requests? There is a whole thread for this. The Genie effect looks nice. Happy to see it Link to comment
Mirror Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 WOW! Thanks for the video preview (QT7 here LoL)Do you know if the new release will support adjusting X, Y, screen positions like Moby Dock does?To be able to float RK so many pixels into the screen area is a dream come true.I'm sure this also was a future request Link to comment

firecracker6 Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 The video does not show it but Larsen2k4, have you seen if windows can be restored with the animations yet? ..would love to see a window restored with the Genie effect. Link to comment

Doesn't work yet... but I'm sure that Radu will implement the reversed effect, too Link to comment
firecracker6 Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 good news.. i suppose windows which contents change while in the dock would have to be handled, but right now, when they are reduced to the dock, they are pulled from the taskbar, which many seem to like, however, is not fun when using expose clones such as TopDesk because they no longer get exposed. But I was wondering how those minimized windows are handled when they are removed from the taskbar placed off screen somewhere? No.. that then would still make them accessible by TopDesk I would think. Anyways.... If Raduking were to not really minimize the windows when going to the dock (but hide them in some fashion,) the windows could still be screencaptured right before restoring to reduce the effect of discrepent content when the animation ends and the window appears? This would address the issue with not functionally being able to use RKlauncher's 'minimize to dock' with TopDesk. I sure hope he gives an option to allow minimized to dock windows to be captured by TopDesk and thus make using both programs concurrently an option again. *Crosses fingers* Link to comment
raduking Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 actually there's a lot to discuss about this issue...never used TopDesk but i'll give it a try to se what exactly does it do... Link to comment
KemenAran. Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 Amazing ! Thanks a lot for this, it rocks ! Link to comment
firecracker6 Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 you rock raduking for taking a look at TopDesk interoperability! It's a great program and I was worried that I would be forced to choose between. Link to comment
drudragon Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 Holy Crap that looks sweet, if it's this good i might have to switch to rk launcher, at mo i''m still using object dock with judges genie affect Link to comment
