TomTomx Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 It works fine for me. I don't know a thing about coding and stuff. But I guess these are my specs?Processor 1.80 GHz AMD Sempron 3200+Memory: 512 MB DDR RAMI don't know what that means lol Link to comment
purry Posted December 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 have u looked into the latest transformation of RK Launcher?http://www.aqua-soft.org/board/showthread.php?t=46929cheers ...im using that currently.Progress, im forming a team to work this out, so far I've got schmrom with us and We have asked Radu for the source of RK, If he accepts, were in the money. If not, we may have to start from scratch, which will not be a good thing... Link to comment
csongi Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 @matonga ,that reflection is using my cpu 100% too but it's great,except that the icons are blinking in every two seconds. I would like to see it integrated in RK Launcher in the future Link to comment
Tanner_o Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 An how about to program a docklet? You choose your icon, your path and the docklet reflects the icon. Link to comment
matonga Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 ^ And for every item you want to add, you have to put a new docklet?Plus in RK Launcher 0.41 you'd need to make a copy of the .dll for every icon, to circumvent the "rk launcher 0.41 won't allow multiple instances of same docklet" problem.Don't get me wrong, it's just it would be better to do the dock from scracth, get Radu to release RK Launcher sources, or ask Punk Software to implement the feature in Rocket Dock. Or maybe AndreasV, Sranshaft or someone else can write a dock... I would but have no time to do it (and don't know how to solve the flickering reported by csongi). Link to comment
purry Posted December 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 ^ And for every item you want to add, you have to put a new docklet?You dont have to anymore, if you name it a new docklet the error doesn't come up. Like lets say we want 4 of your stack docklets in my dock. You put "Stackdocklet" in the docklets folder, then copy and paste it, rename it to stackdocklet01, the dock recognizes them as two different docklets, so it doesn't give you the error. But that is still a huge pain....Also, my team has asked Radu for source, so far no reply. (we sent it yesterday). Im going to ask Yoni for the source of the iVista build, that should get us started reasonably well. I dont know what the problem is for you guys, my cpu is at like 10%, and i get the blink like every 5 minutes. Link to comment
Ghostwalker Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Yoni for the source of the iVista build,I believe all that is just RKLauncher packaged with skin and icons no source code for the dock itself only Radu has that. Link to comment
purry Posted December 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 I believe all that is just RKLauncher packaged with skin and icons no source code for the dock itself only Radu has that.Crap.....Well then, I will just have to wait for Radu..I dont think he will be active for quite some time. I'll have to check his last active time..EDIT: OMG!! Last Activity: 07-13-2007 04:05 PMgreat......i dont think i will be hearing from him for quite some time.......... Link to comment
matonga Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Hi, I wanted to post an update to my proof of concept:http://matias.securityconsultant.com.ar/Mi...-2008-02-06.rarTurns itself into PRIORITY_CLASS_IDLE so it doesn't it your CPU (or at least my CPU).Uses different algorithm to keep the dock background and dock items on top and ordered (can't figure out how RK Launcher, Rocket Dock, etc... do it).@schmrom:Waiting to hear from you soon! Link to comment
Dream_Team Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 can't figure out how RK Launcher, Rocket Dock, etc... do it Don't they just do one layered window and then paste everything they want to draw on it ? Maybe that's why they have such good performance (on winxp MS says you musn't use many layered windows, but I think you know that ) PS : You lastest version works good for me, even in my virtual machine But maybe it's becasue I don't have hardware accel, but it always takes 30% of my cpu.

pwnage101 Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 the latest version locks up all windows after about 15 seconds but it's just a test project so it wouldn't matter anyway, right?very nice btw! i got a kick out of it:)if you were curious, i have vista x64 with a quad core and 8800gtx and 4gb ddr2 800 so it isn't so much performance problems as much as it is an error.i admire your programming knowledge! is programming part of your job?

Husaini HB Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Hi,can anyone explain how it works / how to set it up,BTW in my task manager shows only 6mb,please tell me,thank's Link to comment
g510 Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 hmm..well if anyone here is willing to work with that and make a "mirror dock" I would be glad to help in anyway possible.Do you think you could make on in AveDesk?I'm sure you can do it in AveDesk......(check the reflective album art desklet).... btw did you try contacting raduking in his gmail? Link to comment
schmrom Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 I'm sure you can do it in AveDesk......(check the reflective album art desklet).... btw did you try contacting raduking in his gmail?I had contact with radu and I will receive the source in about one week... Link to comment
Ghostwalker Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 I think radu deserves a big applaud for doing this and not letting RKLauncher just die out. If your going to be working with the latest version of rk you might want to try and fix the problem with running more than one instance of a docklet. Link to comment

Radu has not logged in since July, so he has not contributed to this. Link to comment
schmrom Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 @mushu13: Radu is going to transmit the source to me and then I am going to server the source to public in his name. Link to comment
mushu13 Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 My bad, I must have totally missed your post, sorry! Link to comment
schmrom Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 No problem everyone is always missing me Link to comment

chaodam Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Yeah! Good job Matonga! It eats only 7Mb on my computer but 44% cpu :s Link to comment
AndreasV Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 A DirectX dock would be feasible: on Vista with aero it could directly be composed into the DWM scene. Link to comment
purry Posted February 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 OK, well the group is starting up, Matonga started us up with that little preveiw, from there my team will work. If you wish to join us then send me a private message, or schmrom. THanks! Link to comment
firecracker6 Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 purry, does this mean you now have the source from Raduking in your possession? would love to hear some news Link to comment
