Xwdock 2.0.0.0 - Help & Support

[BOBAH13]

Hi.

Please, ask your questions and problems with XWDock 2.0.0.0 here.

Some information about "how to":

1. Hold on the separator and move mouse to resize the dock, or hold on Shift to move the dock to another edge of the screen

2. Click on icon to run an application or activate the old one, or hold on Ctrl to run the copy of the application

3. Use drag&drop as much as possible. Drop icon (.png, .ico...) on any of dock's icons to setup a new one. Or drop any file onto dock's icons to run, open, copy and move it inside.

4. Now, when you drop Recycler Bin, empty it to setup an icon for the empty state, and fill in it to the full state.

5. Place your OD Docklets to Docklets\ folder, XWD 2.0 Plugins into Plugins\ one.

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.

You should look at it carefully, cause this docklet requires StackLib.dll, for example.

ah of course, silly me.

[BurntAsafoetida]

It's working hilarious. All the functions those implemented working without problem.

Thanks BOBAH13, that's a great comeback

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:

Please, look at it more carefully I think it's okay, cause I've made a 2d skin with border, and it worked well. Anyway, skin-engine will become bigger in future, for now I have other items to be done. Hope I'll do them.

Technical information

XWindows Dock provides fully compatibilities with Windows 7 and Windows Vista and probably works fine on Windows XP.

I guess I should note, on Windows 7 Home Basic there are no issues yet. I've changed skins added and removed short cuts, changed icons. Everything seems good so far.

Be carefull with OD Docklets, cause with several docklets dock doesn't work

[Elevati0n]

Yeah..i deleted Stacks Docklets from..and now I found that the skin I made it is the trouble...

If I delete it ..it's ok..

Why Andreyu skin works and mine not?

Stacks Docklet works well. About skin:

1. Open Skins\Default\skin.ini and read very carefully every line of it.

2. Make similiar as default one.

Edit:

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

I will try to catch problems with it and fix them in the next release. Thanks.

i got it thanx.

[Elevati0n]

Ok..I paste it here..because i saw that new skin of Aqua=Soft no more file upload chance

; Name of the skin, it's identificator for the dock

3d-icon-reflection-offset=8

3d-icon-reflection-opacity=40

3d-icon-reflection-opacity-factor=100

[BOBAH13]

So, problems can be with images and there rect sections.

For example, check out if background-3d.png really smaller or equal 2624x92, or indicator-3d.png <= 410x200 ? And there are all of them placed at the same folder with skin.ini.

[Elevati0n]

Question: what happen if my .pngs sizes are not the same like whose in skin.ini?

That will be the problem with the crash?

It's oki now...thanks to Csongi. The cause was those png sizes

Let's do awesome skin for thos awesome XWD 2.0 vers.
