not sure if this falls under docklets.... but maybe the ability to toggle visibility of individual rings through icons in the dock?Please read the help pages - specifically "How do I re-order Dock Items?"
...or the ability to rearrange the dock items through drag and drop?-Archon of Fate (February 11, 2010, 12:02 AM)
Hi,Yup, next update (v1.53). There's also a "-showall" parameter available too.
now the arg "-show" shows all the instances of CD. It is possible to restrict this option only on CircleDock.exe where -show is used?
Thanks-Rigel (February 10, 2010, 06:02 PM)
Maybe the ability to make the center button open an application or folder of the user's choice?Unlikely I'm afraid. The Centre Button is a member of a completely different set of classes to those which Dock Items belong. For reasons which will become apparent later, the Centre Button's use and functionality will remain pretty much as it is.-Archon of Fate (February 10, 2010, 04:42 PM)
It would be quicker if I simply tell you to copy the following files:-Markham (February 10, 2010, 12:27 PM)
The advantage of a single portable zip file being available for download is that the 'Make Portable' function only needs to be done once (admittedly by you) and everyone who only wants to use CD as a portable app can simply download and use that and have as many instances as they want. As it is, there are going to be lots of people out there going through the process; probably quite huge numbers given the number of downloads. People who have difficulty with it could simply use the install version.-Dormouse (February 10, 2010, 12:46 PM)
Hope it works! I figured out that my problem with the CTRL key was due to the fact that I had the CTRL key setup as a trigger for showing CD. I tookthat off and my CTRL key is working again...
Next step... multiple instances....-Ltan (February 10, 2010, 05:43 PM)

"C'è solo un vero Circle Dock e l'hai trovato".
"There is only one true Circle Dock and you found it."
Hai scritto che man mano consigliavi delle idee su come migliorare la dock, sarei felice se potessi farlo anche per la mia!
You wrote that you have suggested ideas on how to improve the dock, I would be happy if I could do it for mine!
I will open CD at startup. Use it start say: MS Word....I will write a document and then save....Approximately an hour and a half. Close all related programs...go to center click, and CD will not appear.I've put in a couple of experimental fixes for this issue:
Attempts to un-click and re click the option in settings is to no effect.
If I switch functions (Hotkey the appearance), re-open settings and set Middle Click as an option, it will work again.
It is like CD is is in slow degradation in its line of communication to the OS, eventually I am left with hiding via the CD Context Menu and showing via the systray icon, after about 5 hours-sgtevmckay (February 09, 2010, 11:24 AM)
Win 7 64 bit OS Circle Dock V 1.5.1.1 This is an install over V1 that was an install over an older version etc.Coincidentally the guy who's re-designing the Circle Dock website phoned me earlier with the same problem but he did not describe it quite as succinctly or accurately as you! I have fixed it for the next update.
I can open the Dock Settings and Item settings screens just fine. They appear to function correctly as well. However after I close them I can no longer use my middle mouse button to toggle CD. If I restart Circle Dock the middle button toggles CD again. Any changed settings are retained. Going to the Item settings screen does not always produce this effect, the Dock settings screen always does. In the failed state I used the taskbar icon to open CD up and went into the Dock Settings screen and it did show the middle mouse button set as the toggle. I tried closing the Settings screen and using the middle button to no avail. I also tried changing the toggle to a new function and back to middle button and it did not help.
I did notice that in the failed state if I change the toggle to something else like Right mouse + shift, and exit the settings screen the new hot-key does work without a restart. It does however ignore the need for the additional key. No matter what Keys I choose in addition to right click, a simple right click with no buttons pressed toggles the dock. Going back into the settings screen and choosing middle button does not restore functionality. Only restarting circle dock restores the middle button toggle.-worick (February 09, 2010, 10:07 AM)
Also when I use the Icon settings screen to change the label of an icon it truncates the first few letters off of several other Icon labels. There does not appear to be a hard limit like 8 chars. Some examples Downloads : loads
Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 : soft Visual Studio 2008
Oblivion : livion
That is real annoying because if I go in to fix one, it truncates 3-4 more labels.
Hi, I just thought I'd post some minor problems that I encountered while messing around with circle dockI am unable to reproduce this problem but suspect it may be due to the way in which you have multiple instances running.
1. when moving the rotation bar and changing values I got an error message...

2. I like having my docks always visible, but every time I open a program in my dock it hides my dock - and I have hide when opening files and folders off. It only happens with programs though not foldersCheck your dock items, the settings dialog value for that flag is just a default: each Dock Item has a similar setting which has greater precedence.
