What an amazing list of features! Thank you Stardock!
| ...snip 1.29 beta ------------ -PLUS-Enabled activation in Plus build -BOTH-Added ability to offset dock from edge of the screen -PLUS-"Automatic distance from edge" (place above taskbar) feature now fully compatible with multi-monitors. This handy feature ("auto distance from edge") is only available in the Plus version, and is enabled by default in the plus version. -PLUS-Added mouse-activation (different from hotspots) ability for tabbed docks whose tabs are not always on top. When mouse activation is checked, docked tabbed docks whose tabs are not AOT will come to the front when you hit the edge of the screen directly over where they are for the specified time period. -BOTH-Not always-on-top tabbed docks that are docked to the edge of the screen (autohidden) will now un-autohide if you choose from from the alt-tab list. -PLUS-Added ability for tabbed docks to reserve the entire edge of the screen that they are on. Adjustable to be autohidden or not autohidden. -PLUS-When dragging docks that are reserving the edge of the screen, they will detach and turn off their reserve-edge option upon pulling far away from the edge. If moved back to the edge or to another edge while in the same move/drag operation, the dock will automatically re-reserve the edge space upon docking to an edge. Under other/normal circumstances (just usual docking to the edge), the dock will not automatically reserve the edge of the screen. -PLUS-When in "My Docks" dialog, all autohidden or not-on-top zooming and tabbed docks should come to the front and become interactive. Upon leaving the application completly, docks go back to their original positions. -BOTH-When in the properties dialog for a individual dock (zoomer or tabbed), that dock will temporarilly ignore its autohidden and AOT state if present to make itself on-top and visible to the user. -PLUS-When using the configuration dialog for a dock, a bouncing arrow will show up to identify which dock is currently being edited. Similarly, when in the "My Docks" dialog, upon selecting a dock from the dock listing, that dock will have a bouncing identifying arrow pointing to it to identify which dock is currently selected. This feature can be disabled from the advanced options, and when shown due to a configuration dialog being active (not "My Docks"), the arrow will fade out after 5 bounces to prevent it from becoming annoying. The arrows only show up when there is more than one dock present (and so are not necessary in the free version). |

What a wonderful surprise. The offset (and auto distance) options are something I have been hungering for for months now. Really appreciate the stellar update Jeff!

I assume that this is for Tabbed docks. In previous versions, if the dock was hiding somewhere, you had to move your mouse over the actual tabs to get it to reappear. I hope this means that you can move the mouse to anywhere on the screen edge and the dock will reappear. In truth, this was one of the main reasons I avoided using autohiding tabbed docks (I like to work very fast), so if this is how it works now, yeehaw!!!
