- ObjectDock 1.11 Freeware [3/2/2005]
- -----------------------------------
-
- This program is provided AS-IS.
-
- I understand that I am downloading unsupported
- freeware software. That means I will not try
- to obtain technical support from Stardock. I also
- understand that this program makes no claims
- to accurately emulate or represent itself as a
- reasonable facsimile of any docks on other
- operating systems.
-
- Thousands of icons, images, and zoomers are
- available free from http://www.WinCustomize.com.
- Be sure to checkout the docklets there as well!
-
- -------------------------
- Basic instructions / FAQ:
- -------------------------
-
- - Right click items on the dock to customize them
-
- - Files and folders can be dragged onto the dock to create
- new items. This includes special folders like "My Computer".
-
- - You can drag items off the dock to delete them or right-click
- on them to delete via menu.
-
- - Click the "Configure ObjectDock" item or right-click a blank
- area of the dock to access Dock Properties.
-
- - ObjectDock can read PNG image files, as well as 32-bit icon
- files in both Windows XP and Windows 2000. Images to be used
- in items can be put anywhere off the ObjectDock folder. ObjectDock
- will search its folders and all of its subfolders of it for images.
- It is recommended that you use subfolders to categorize your images,
- like the included Crystallized and LaST subdirs under the
- Images directory.
-
- - The Windows taskbar can be turned on or off via the dock settings dialog.
-
- - Images can be assigned to windows based on the .EXE that they are running
- or the "class name" for the window. The more specific class name takes
- priority over the program file name in the event images have been set to both.
- (e.g. one for the mail program, and another for an email window)
-
- - The dock will track mouse movement even if another window is maximized
- over the dock.
-
- - You can configure ObjectDock via command line arguments. Replace n with a
- number (see descriptions for info) for the new status desired:
-
- objectdock.exe -ahn (turn on/off autohide, n=0-off, n=1-on, n=2-toggle)
- objectdock.exe -psn (side position, n=0-bottom 1-top, 2-left, 3-right)
- objectdock.exe -pan (alignment position, n=1-left(top) 2-middle 3-right(bottom))
- objectdock.exe -mn (turn on/off mouse effect (magnification), n=0-off, n=1-on, n=2-toggle)
-
- - ObjectDock includes options to adjust the position of the dock, its alignment,
- z-order (normal, always on top, always on bottom), zoomer sizes, zoomer effects,
- and much much more!
-
- - Have fun!
-
- -------------------------
- Obligatory bits
- ---------------
-
- ObjectDock incorporates decompression code by the Info-ZIP group.
-
- There are no extra charges or costs due to the use of this code,
- and the original compression sources are freely available from
- ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/infozip/ on the Internet. We will also,
- upon request, mail you the full sources on a 3.5" MSDOS-formatted
- diskette for the cost of mailing.
-
- The full source of the InfoZip compressor/decompressor can also
- be obtained from ftp://ftp.uu.net/pub/archiving/zip/.
-
- Thanks to Jairo Boudewyn for the great looking ObjectDock icon as
- well as a search image. Thank your frogsgs for another image as well.
-
- Permission was given from Everaldo, the author of the
- Crystallized icon set, for the icons to be included with ObjectDock.
- Be sure to visit http://www.everaldo.com for more of Everaldo's
- excellent artwork!
-
- Credits for the Crystallized icon set porting go to:
- Funkware-DJP (http://funkware.da.ru) for his "Crystal" icon set
- port and Bryan King for his "Crystal 1.0 Beta" port. Icons from
- both packages were used.
