Adding AutoHide Button to RocketDock
Friday, May 2, 2008 by Franky Kalei | Discussion: Docks
Hi all, I find myself clicking this in the menu quite frequently. Switching it on and off AutoHiding because RocketDock at times overlaps programs such as VLC or gets in the way of program menus.
Since such things as the RocketDock clock is possible, wouldn't it be possible to make a button with an icon in the Dock that would make it hide? Having to drop down the menu from time to time quickly gets annoying, and makes it seem like I constantly have to costumize the Dock in order to use it. A single button on the Dock would spare alot of time and problems.
Anyone have any idea how this could be done?
Here, it's something like this I'm dreaming of, click this while it's shown to hide it, when it slides down again and you click it it will stop hiding!

I have been running XP with the ObjectDock free version since October 2007 I never had any issues
I just repeat that the only feature superior in RocketDock is "minimized windows" to the dock (no entries in the task bar) I have no icons in RocketDock I use it as a mini virtual desktop !
BTW every so often I have RK Launcher in the right desktop side, it's also freeware, did you hear about it ? (AW the autohide feature is pretty similar to RocketDock)

Didya take a look at the above screenshot messiah?
In case you didn't notice I actually did get the Dock despite the limitations of of the freeware.
My problem is how it messes up the 8800GTS i bought last week.

This being the kind of community is, some one will help you with your video card issue and all you'll have to do is ask. Being polite never hurts anything either. I only wish I had a card that good, (mine's a 6150SE) so I'm no help. Good Luck and enjoy your new docks.

Yeah I looked at it and the 1 before it that was named fuckoff.jpg. Did you ask anyone how you might fix that issue? Try a reboot? Didn't work? Try a re-install? Didn't work, email support. They WILL help you. You're whiny attitude, and I quote,
Please don't knock the software until you absolutely know it isn't going to work for you or isn't any good. There are millions of folks who use this prog problem free. There are bunches that encounter problems at first as well, but that is what support is for...SUPPORT. Stardock will work to make you happy. Honest.
This prog is a great prog, leaps and bounds over anything out there. Once you get your issues squared away, I assure you, you'll love it. And that's just the freeware version, the Plus version is even greater. Good luck and I hope you enjoy it.

messiah1 you are completely right about the software !
+ call it freewaremania, freewarealcoholism for some people is a kind of addiction, in those cases (I hope it's not the Franky case) they are certainly sick !
