Coming soon - Circle Dock Version 1.00
Markham:
I look foward to it. So far Circle Dock has proven to be better then RK launcher, Rocket Dock and Object dock. I thank you for the hard work your putting into it.

Markham, I discovered your program about 6 weeks ago, and at that time things were very wirey. I'd have it running for 5-10 mins, and it would crash, never to return. I'm not a launcher user, but even then Circle Dock was a bunch of fun.
Now with Beta1 the last two weeks or so, I have it working on my #2 computer. It only crashed once, yesterday, and I restarted it, and it was blank. So I put back on some of my original shortcuts, and reshaped it, etc. Next time I restarted the comp, the first set of settings were back, but the second set were gone. I'm having fun with the notion I'm on a pre-release that will someday be very famous, so the setbacks are understood. I'd love to see a feature to export the settings.-mateek (December 08, 2009, 12:14 AM)

That Beta, in common with many other Beta versions out there, didn't have all the wrinkles iron-out. I posted it to show users the new Dock shape as there has been a deal of interest in such a shape. That it only crashed once is to its credit :). Can you recall the circumstances that caused it to crash?
Your program will be the impetus to force manufacturers to create a U shape backlight and eventually the circular LCD monitor. That, or with my first paycheck I'm going looking in antique shops for the famous 50's TV set made with the round screen, and a RF Modulator.

I'm all for retro!! :D
I've got a rhetorical question about your username too: I live in New England (a group of states in the northeast USA), and a lot of towns I grew up in, and around, ended with 'ham.' Any connection to this area or England? Just curious. Or is it a real first name. I'm always trying to pick up on different cultures.

The suffix "ham" is an old English abbreviation for "homestead" and in Anglo-Saxon times denoted a village. In the same vein, "hamlet" (or little ham) is still in common usage denoting a small group of houses.
You are quite correct in thinking I'm originally from the UK but these days I prefer much warmer climes. My user name here (Markham) however has no geographic associations but is quite simply a contraction of my first and last names (Mark Hamilton).

I'm not sure about the circumstances, but thanks for asking. I was intentionally making setting changes slowly, and closing the box to set them and reopening a lot. Making a bunch at one time had crashed the earlier versions. I think it was a combination of a few changes without closing the settings box immediately, and then a fast errant click on a desktop folder adjacent.
I've google earthed your new neighborhood (well, Cebu anyway) a fair amount in the last six months because of some chat friends there. You're a lucky man to be living in that beautiful area. My impression is that the level of english speakers is very high there. It reminds me of Israel that way.
I hope you don't mind if I make another small request for your consideration. I've noticed a prominent windows folder isn't included in the special folders drop-down list. I'd love to see "Shared folders" in there.
Thanks again.
Markham:
I've added a new experimental option which will only be of interest to you if you are using a non-English language version of Windows, especially one that uses a non-Latin character set (eg: Kanji, Arabic, Chinese, Korean etc) and where the System Locale is set for your own country. And it's true to say that this affects mostly XP installations where the MUI pack is not installed.
The new option should ONLY be used if you get an error message on startup that states that Circle Dock can not find its "Config.ini" file.
Instead of calling Circle Dock with (say): C:\Program Files\CircleDock.exe
Use this form of the Command line : C:\Program Files\CircleDock.exe setlocale
In other words, append "setlocale" to your existing Command Line.
This amended form of the Command Line instructs Circle Dock to use an English Locale. Note that this setting affects only Circle Dock; it does not modify your System Locale for any other program.
