Circle Dock / Re: Help? Download link is down :(
« on: September 01, 2023, 09:42 AM »
Thanks. Which version is the best / most equipped (features) / seamless? For the older versions, I read from the descriptions that some of the older ones could do more than the newer ones ... for those versions over 1, the descriptions are missing. At worst, I'll install multiple versions in different folders if it's still possible and test. Too bad no one develops this quite important software anymore ...

Circle Dock version?

Circle Dock / Re: Label Question
« on: August 30, 2023, 07:27 AM »
Yes. I figured it out even though I've been using the Circle Dock for about 4 days. It will work on any version of Circle Dock and not only on the dock (folder) but also on the icons / shortcuts.

Display the icon (folder / shortcut) in Explorer at the largest view size and do a snap (take a picture), for example with Pic Pick / Hyper Snap / ... and save the picture as *.png. Of course if you want a caption, you have to snap the image with the text (icon caption).

This way you will have a permanent dock (folder) / shortcut label still displayed for all the icons you make following my procedure, although the author of Circle Dock does not support this option ...

However, I still recommend you use colored folders, not only in Circle Dock, but also in Windows. I use the following colour combinations:

System = yellow
Net = dark blue
Text = pink
Graphics = red
Audio = light blue
Video = purple
Data = white
Emulation = light green
Games = orange

Alternatively you can use other colours, however I have been using the ones above for many years and know the meaning of colours, I sort everything that way, even programs, data ... you can use other colours as subcategories, for example:

XXX = black

------------------------ so this thread is resolved ----------------------------------

You can even add any keyboard shortcut (my other method) mapped to an icon / shortcut in Circle Dock, so you can for example in VLC (video player, ...) start videos, pause, ... turn off VLC

Yes, I've already discovered it there in the meantime, thanks anyway. I'm just not quite sure if this is really the version they write. So I downloaded the version from the official website: Circle Dock 0.9.2 Alpha 8.2 and inside the program (About) it then says: Circle Dock 0.9.2 Alpha 8. It is also interesting that some of the older versions can do more than the newer ones, I don't know if this program is not following the unpleasant trend of Windows, Firefox, Opera, ...

Circle Dock / New feature proposal - animated icons
« on: August 28, 2023, 07:38 PM »
New feature proposal - animated icons (gif?).

I'm tempted to hardcode the path to the animated gif image in the ini file - I assume that either it will have no effect, or it will throw an error, or the program will crash or break ...

I have been using the program for 2 days so far. The possibility of folders, subfolders, sub-subfolders, ... is very interesting. Also the possibility to use multiple instances of the program at the same time.

I've been using this version for a while (Version 1.0.2.3), and downloaded it back in January 2010 from markham.dcmembers.com/Release/SetupCircleDock.zip.

The link to version 1.0.2.3 is no longer valid, can you please package your version and send it to me or post it somewhere? Thank you.

If you don't know how to place various commands in Circle Dock like: Cut * Copy * Paste * All select * Rename * New folder - and more, I can show you the procedure as a reward for your effort ...
