Circle Dock / Re: Custom Icons in StandaloneStack - How do I do it?
« on: October 18, 2009, 03:30 PM »
rgdot's reply really worked for me.

The Images folder goes in the same "Miscellaneous" folder as StandaloneStack2.exe (C:\Program Files\Circle Dock\System\Miscellaneous\Images). Since my Stack folder was all shortcut links, I named the PNG files the same as the documents or programs, and voila, pretty, bright, clear icons in my stack grid. I did try the ".[extension].png" method of showing the PNG files too, and that worked, but as I said, all of my stack were *.lnk so that wasn't useful for me.

Thanks rgdot, that helps me some. For some reason that screen (Settings>Options) left off the word "images" on my installation?? Now I have some more possibilities to play with.

Circle Dock / Custom Icons in StandaloneStack - How do I do it?
« on: October 17, 2009, 10:13 PM »
I'm having a good time playing with Circle Dock and Standalone Stack. It works very nicely, very smooth and accurate.

I can't figure out how to use the Custom Icons for Standalone Stack. I am using StandaloneStack2.exe. I have the "Use custom icons" option checked. But...
  • I don't know what to name the subdirectory - "Custom Icons" or the same name as my stack.
  • I'm not sure where to put it -In the folder with StandaloneStack2.exe is or in the stack folder?
  • And I'm not sure what to name the png files. For instance, if I have a file named "Daily Schedule.xls", is the png named "Daily Schedule.png" or ".xls.png"?

Nothing I've tried has worked yet. Thanks for helping me figure this out.

I have found a clunky workaround solution to one of my problems with GridMove. I was often grabbing the title bar at the wrong place. i.e. I made the grid appear when I didn't want it or I was grabbing at different spots to get the grid to appear.

Using PowerPro I put two vertical bars across the title bar to mark the "hot" area. Now I know just where to click. There may be a more elegant solution using AHK, but this has made it easy me for me to use GridMove in my preferred mode.

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm still playing with the new version. I think I still like the way the old version handled the titleleft/titlesize. The 150-355 setting gave the left side of most of my windows to grab and resize, and the right side to grab and move. There was a problem with small windows sometimes because the title extended too far across the window, but not too often. I think I might need to change more than the 3* to 2* to get it to behave like it used to.

Also, what do I change to get GridMove to handle microsoft windows the same as the old version? GridMove is not recognizing them at all now - no matter what size they are or where I click them. I'm a HS teacher and I usually have a Word document or two or three open and an Excel file too. Resizing them with GridMove was a main use of the program for me.

By the way, just as a matter of fact, I'm using GridMove on a Thinkpad Tablet with a 12" screen (pretty small).
