objectdock features recommendation...

Tuesday, November 19, 2002 by Lord Vimal | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

hey in objectdock, it is cool when u minimize a window, it takes a screenshot of it!

but
-the screenshot doesnt refresh when the window actually changes

also. i would like to suggest:
icons can be added on the basis of window 'class' and 'exe name'
how about adding icons on the basis of caption? like :My computer...Control Pannel.

-the control panel, search, help shortcuts dont work!

- Always on top or not should be configurable.

Did I say 'Great so far !' ?

oh that would be cool
autohide, refreshing window image,

also, when u right click an icon of say: the running IE, i think more than the object properties, the CONTEXT or SYSTEM menu should come the OS X way!

how about the system tray? it's, like, gone if you hide the taskbar so i would suggest adding the ability to add a system tray area to the dock.

The use of Ctrl+Alt+D to show/hide the dock (as the OSX original)

there is NO WAY FOR FINDING OUT WHICH IS THE ACTIVE WINDOW

maybe a sort of GLOW effect?

Jark,
You can use the Iconpackager Explorer to yank the Icons out. I just tried it and it works.

are there are apps out there that are merely system trays? i guess an extremely minimal hoverdesk theme or objectbar theme could suffice for this task.

jark goes looking for some goodies ...

That is what I was thinking. Just have a start button in one corner and systray in the other.

DX would do that very well.

Maybe someone could submit a DX object that is just a system tray.

well, you would still have to have a graphic for the background wouldn't you? That would be very theme dependant. It really isn't hard at all to do a systray I'm sure jark could do it with his eyes closed
