My Dock | What Do You Think?

Suggestions/Comments About My Dock

Sunday, April 19, 2009 by YungBoss | Discussion: Docks

Hey, I just got into the whole dock thing a couple days ago and now I know all about them.

I just finished my "masterpiece". I originally started with RocketDock, but then I went to ObjectDock Plus for the tray support.

 

So anyway, heres some shots of my dock and please dont hesitate to leave comments/suggestions.

(Maybe some new docklets that are neat)

If you want my objectdock background, its called graphite.

(It's gorgeous)... and you can snag it here:

(This isnt mine, I just snagged it from someone else (sorrry.) )

Thanks A Lot,

Matt

Just wondering.. (not being rude)

 

Thanks.

That is the preferred method of making your dock available to the community.

On the front page of Wincustomize just click on the Submit to gallery link.

 Really?  Huh.  That's something there.

 

Is that "Your" dock background, meaning you created it or is it a background you used and are showing us how you set it up?  I ask because the post says your dock and your masterpiece, but the link to "grab" the dock shows that it was uploaded to dA in 2008 which is more than a couple days ago.  Clarify please.

Oh yeah...and when you create one, I hope it's a tad better than that one.

I'm sorry, I snagged the background from someone else by just googling it.

 

I'll clarify this.

 

Thanks For the heads up.

Thanks for the heads up,

 

But it's not my background I used.

 

I just edited my post clarifying this.


Thanks.

Oh, and you asked about cool docklets.  Try this one if you haven't already:

And this thread should help answer some questions you may have on setting it up:

Start with these four from the Wiki, they concern the graphics and code side of the house.

I would definitely look at these tutorials... they helped get me started. All you need then is some graphic/image editing software. If you don't already have Photoshop or Paintshop pro, there is some pretty good free software out there, like The Gimp http://www.gimp.org/ or Paint.net http://www.paint.net/
