How do you make a dock/viewport for shortcuts with DesktopX?
Tuesday, January 20, 2009 by Manick2005 | Discussion: Object Desktop
Topic. Due to the current limitations of Fences and ObjectDock not being able to display full path/file names, I have been struggling to figure out the most efficient way to display and be able to identify new shortcuts (with their full path/file names). Most people know what Objectdock is, but Fences, not as much. I am essentially trying to do the exact same thing as Fences, by creating my own transparent docks/viewports (which I have already designed using Photoshop), that can be made to isolate shortcuts. And not just generic shortcuts, like My Documents, or My Computer, but any shortcut I want if I need to access the folder frequently. Is there an easy way to do this using Desktop X? Is it difficult at all to create a folder shortcut which is just stationary on top of a parent object such as a transparent dock?

Thanks a lot! That second link looks like it has what I need to figure this out.
