Feature Request: Close program by removing it from running tasks

January 16, 2008 5:30:57 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums
It would be cool if there was an option to close a program by removing the icon from the running tasks area of the dock, instead of having to right-click on it and then move the mouse cursor all the way up to "Close".

Thanks!


Using ObjectDock Plus v.1.90 Build 535u.

it would even cooler if we could just vocally tell Odock to do what we want, that way I wouldn't have to move my hand all the way over to the mouse to begin with

I think thats a pretty good request;

Drag the icon or image off the dock and the app closes, magic!

Nice one!

I know it sounds kind of silly that it's a pain to move the mouse up the menu to close it, but I'm used to the Windows taskbar, where I could right-click and immediately left-click to close. Being able to drag the icon off would not only reduce a step, but it would look cool too.

We're talking about just the running tasks section of the dock (if enabled), not the program launcher side of the dock, so removing an icon from the running tasks side wouldn't affect the other icons.
