Circle Dock Enhancements

[Mugwamp]

Thought this might be a good place for enhancement ideas.

I would PAY to have a working CLOCK (minute/hour hands) as the center button!  Perhaps this can be a dock-type addon....

And ObjectDock has such an addon

It would be nice to have running application's thumbnails like in "Video in Picture for Vista".

And, of course, stack submenus similar to these:

There are no immediate plans to code plug-in support into Circle Dock just yet. After Alpha 9 I'll look more into it.

As for the stacklets thing, give me a few minutes, someone sent me a heads up on something I forgot existed....

Please consider (even for far away future) docklets / stacklets support or API.

It would be totally awesome to see different system meters in orbs

I've posted instructions on how to use StandaloneStack on Circle Dock: https://www.donation...ex.php?topic=15006.0

And yes, I will implement regular docklet support if I can code it.

I like the idea and looks  of Circle Dock very much.
Nice piece of work ! 

However personal I think a great addition wold be if it is possible to execute a serie (batch) of programs by clicking on a icon. Currently I'm using this feature in the Docklet application ProgramLaunch which is also nice. Clicking on the item will then start a couple of applications (or open directories) which were placed in a batch.

Tabs (as discussed in another forum message) would indeed also be very valuable and complete the basic functionality.

Thanks in advance.

PS I hope this is the correct place to post any enhancement request.....?

I would like to be able to use my left and right mouse button combination to show the circle dock. I know there is a hotkey app, but thats another app to run.

Hello and Welcome,

Would it not have the same effect if you placed the programs you want to launch in a Windows .bat or .vbs script file?

It's something that I'm thinking about. No concrete plans but I will keep it in mind once I rewrite the hooking dll for Circle Dock.

[tosbsas]

great, looking forward to that (:-))

I've been using this in conjunction with CD for a while already (specifically as a .bat file) and it works like a charm --  ultra convenient
