A couple questions about Launchbar.

[Dochappy]

I love the program and with the newest version docking has become great. I'm having trouble getting  LBC to act the way I want it and haven't been able to figure out a way to fix it.

I took a screenshot of my setup so the questions will make more sense lol.

Question 1: I'm trying to get the  dock color to match the color of my taskbar but no matter what I change in the skinning options the color stays the same. Is it possible to get it to match ?

Question 2: The last two icons are folders, one for my downloads and the other for  my writing. How can I change it so when I click the icon  the folder opens instead of showing the contents like it was a menu?

Question 3: when I add shortcuts to the bar and save. when I try to click  on the icons to load the application nothing happens. when I check the path  it's totally different than what the shortcut is so I have to manually change. No big problem just wondering if it's a bug ?

Question 4: Can I make the icons bigger. I have them set to large right now.

thank you for making an app like this it's great

Question 1:
If you open up options/preferences and select the dock node, you'll see some options for color -- can you screenshot me that page and what's not working as expected there?

Question 2 is easy:
Simply add the folder path as a COMMAND node, instead of telling LBC to show folder contents.

Question 3:
Can you give me an example?

Question 4:
I'm afraid large is as big as it can go, currently; i'm looking into supporting larger sizes.

Question 1: Now  that I have been through the options and colors I think I'll have to use an image to get the launchbar to have the save gradient look as my windows taskbar. Problem is I'm not sure what size I should use for the image.

Question 2: I set both the folder shortcuts to command node but now nothing happens when I click them

Question 3: this problem seems to cleared itself up. It seemed to happend to my MS Word shortcut the most but after a restart its back to normal.

I have  one other query. Is it possible to make the portion of the dock background that has icons to be a color while the unused portion of the dock background is transparent ? hopefully the screenshot will help show what I'm talking  about if not I'll try to describe it better.

Thank you for the help.

This has been asked for by others -- this or to make the dock centered and only tall or wide enough to cover button area.  I am going to try to do this.

you need to put the directory in the field labeled "Application/Command"

Regarding transparency -- have you tried the transparent background display option for the dock?

[Dochappy]

I have but when I use it no matter if I dock on top,bottom,or sides the icons end up appearing over my taskbar or other relative important areas I need clear and  it makes it hard to see the icon. I've arrived at a happy medium for now with the location and size lol

again I thank you for your help and all the work you put into your programs
