Thank you for the new Beta......
Here's my Big Ole Bunch of Feature Requests (Previously Posted in the OD NewsGroup)
* Flyout Menu Option - function like a regular dropdown menu (16x16 icon and
text to the right) instead of the spinning wheel - it's a neat effect, but
not practical for quickly finding a file
* Accept other icon appearance changing programs icons in shortcuts - If I
change a shortcut's icon using either the shortcut's properties or
microangelo's appearance, both xp and microangelo recognize the change. ODP
doesn't and I have to change the icon using Dock Entry Properties - In
comparison, changing icons was much easier with XP Toolbars.
* Dock Entry Properties - Change Image - Choose Image Browser (for lack of a
better name) - doesn't allow for the use of icon libraries (*dll or *icl) to
an icon from. Only *ico, *png and *exe
* Systray Icon(s) - This is probably one of the things I'm missing - I've
only got one tabbed dock running at the top of my desktop (I closed the
default zoomer dock at the right side of the screen - one of the reasons I
stayed with XP Toolbars for so long was because I never cared for this dock
in the free version). In my systemtray I'm showing two icons, one for
ObjectDock Plus and one for ObjectDock Cabinet. What do I do to get just one
icon to show that gives me access to all the menu options available in both
icons. And also make that menu configurable as to what does show in it.
* To be able to set up tabs that are attached to folders on your PC so that
you can drag a file from your desktop and drop it in the folder (and
vise-versa) without having to open an explorer window.
* To allow it to be skinned by Windowblinds as an option using the taskbar
and tabs images from the WB skin.
* To be able to adjust the transparency level and add/control drop shadows
instead of mimicking them in the image.
* To be able to add sounds to the different functions (mouseover, pressed,
switching tabs, etc.)
* To be able to add mouseover states to both the tabs and the icons....like
on the XP taskbar.
* Increased flexibility in configuring fonts, colors and margins.
* Auto-tabbing - intelligently bring to the foreground whichever tab made
the most sense at that time (example: if your using a weather docklet and
the weather is updated, the tab that the docklet is on moves to the
foreground, same thing for email, Norton security alerts, etc.) Optional
have an associated sound and/or flashing (for hearing impaired)
* Auto-resizing of dock. When dragging a tabbed dock from the top to bottom
and back the tabs flip to the correct size....cool. When dragging a tabbed
dock from the top or bottom to the left or right sides, the tabs work
correctly and the correct image shows for the background, but you have to
manually resize the bar, because it doesn't change shape, it just looks like
a top/bottom bar with the tabs on the sides.
* Editing in SKS Pro - though it's wicked easy to create backgrounds and
tabs, maybe as a benefit for those of us who have purchased ODNT or SKS Pro
separately, be able to edit and preview in SKS Pro. This would help with
making sure the background.ini file is correct
Great little utility
