Circle Dock / Re: Anyone find more capabilities of Circle dock?

« on: February 12, 2010, 12:11 PM »

I would use that feature mainly for sorting purposes. For example:
 - ring 1: Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari etc... (internet stuff)
 - ring 2: Counter-Strike, Call of Duty, Lineage etc... (gaming stuff)
 - ring 3: Putty, WinSCP, TeamViewer etc... (admin stuff)
 - ring 4: Total Commander, Paint, Notepad, Task Manager etc... (Windows stuff)

And so on, understand?

Your idea of an atom is mainly for design purposes   Good thinking  

You can do that already, drag-and-drop.

Hmm, maybe you understood me wrong here, or maybe I'm the one not getting the idea but i don't want to see my desktop icons again (more or less) so what I want is, lets say, if I download something to my desktop, a zip file for example, the file wont appear on my desktop because the icons are hidden, but when i would access Circle Dock it would appear there on the bottom level, automatically and without stack docklet.

If I am square-headed and I can already do that, please give me more hints. But I don't want to drag and drop icons to CD every time I download something.

The same idea could be applied for any other folder.

Circle Dock / Re: Requests / Suggestions thread

« on: February 12, 2010, 09:37 AM »

Can you make it so I can select how many icons I want to show on each ring separately?
I don't want to select, for example, 5 icons on every ring, nor the maximum number on every ring, I want to be able to select an individual value for every ring.

Can you make that? It would be super...

Thank you.

What you said gave me an idea:
 - can you program Circle Dock to show only the icons on the desktop ( I mean without folder stacks, just when i summon circle dock I would have all my desktop icons on there )
 - it's like the first thing you see in circle dock is only the contents of the desktop folder
and
 - can i organize my icons like this:
 - - on the first ring i want to have 5 icons
 - - on the second 8
 - - on the third 10 ... etc
 - I mean I don't want to choose an exact amount of icons per ring, and I don't want to choose the maximum amount for the rings. I want to say: ring 1 has 3 icons, ring 2 has 5 icons, ring 3 has 10 icons etc.

Well, I was hoping that Rainmeter could be linked with Circle Dock.

I use my Circle Dock unlocked (where I click my mouse, that's where it appears), and I was hoping that I could do something like this:

When I press my button to summon Circle Dock (anywhere on the screen) the following things would appear next to my mouse (on top of all my windows and everything):
 - Circle Dock
 - Rainmeter Arcs in the middle of Circle Dock
 - 2 other Circle Docks on the sides (like in Archon's pictures)
 - other Rainmeter "gadgets" on top / bottom (like HDD space or CPU / RAM)

That is what I was hoping to achieve.

On an unrelated note:
I have attached my ini files for Arcs, maybe some of you would like to have a minimal Arc (i have eliminated the big circle and modified some things here and there).
It's pure black and white, and when you switch it (with middle mouse button) it's white and black.
What have I done:
 - eliminated the outer circle (actually made it invisible)
 - removed the 3 rings (seconds, minutes, hours)
 - put the CPU bar in place of the minutes bar (the inner most ring that you see in the picture)
 - put the RAM bar in the place of the hours (the second ring that you see in the picture)
 - removed the seconds line
 - made the minutes and hours lines smaller
 - made the day and month bar longer (to the top)
 - removed all the other bars: power and whatever was left

Hello, everybody.

I made my account wanting to know how did Archon of Fate made the modifications shown in his first post.
I know he is using Rainmeter and multiple instances of Circle dock, but can you post some hints?

I would like to know:
 - does rainmeter show up only when you hit the button for Circle dock? Or do you just have it on your desktop and arranged it nicely for the pic
 - does rainmeter follow circle dock anywhere it appears? (I'm asking about the Arcs, because it would be nice to have the arcs appear in the center of the dock where you "summon" it)
 - can I make multiple instances of circle dock appear next to each other when i click a single button?

This one is for sgtevmckay:
 - how can I make the clock inside my Circle dock like you have?

And, the last one:
 - where can I find addons that work with Circle dock and how do I install them? (I mean, how can i make an app work only when called by circle dock?)

Thank you.
