Can't test it for now, but how fast it works ? I.e. everything done immediately when you press on ? Can you drag&drop icons on the bar ? Can you move icons on the bar from one place to another, etc ?
Have it skin supports maybe ?:)

Anyway, very intersting to test, sadly that can't for now.

I'm not on the Amiga anymore... but it seem to work like all other dockies do.

The bar is a big docky as I understand it, I haven't investigated the button menu/subdocky that much yet...

I don't wish to rain on your parade, but why on earth is "DH1" hard-coded? On all of my machines, DH1: is the name of a partition already, and none of them has DH1: as a system partition. I can't even create an alias for it, since every machine has a "DH1:" already used.

Couldn't you make it "SYS:" ?

[edit]
I changed all the references within the xml file to point to the place where I installed it, and it is OK, so there weren't any "hard-coded" references after all.

This is the first time I've ever tried using Sub-Docks. I set the Main Dock to be on the right (not centred), but the Internet and Players sub-docks still open in the middle of the screen where their buttons used to be. I also created a new sub-dock called Utilities, and although I copied all the settings from "Internet", its sub-dock opens in the right place (over the button).

I've got a lot to learn here.

As fast as AmiDock as it is AmiDock.

Quote:

Yes!

Quote:

Yes! The icons you drop on the main bar will even be automatically resized to fit.

Quote:

No, you have to do it with the AmiDock Prefs.

Quote:

It is nothing else than a skin for AmiDock...

"Hard-coded" - looks like you overestimate my skills

Push4Dock is nothing else than a batch of icons and skripts, nicely arranged, maybe impressive, but nothing more.

@all

If you have any problems with the assigns or want to add additional assigns please have a look at the Push4Dock file you added to WBStartup prefs. It is a simple ascii file ready to edit.

No rocket science included!

I've found that ClickToFront no longer works with YAM when Push4Dock prefs are used. The only change I made to the prefs as distributed was to (1) change the dir where everything was stored; and (2) I had to switch off the rectangle around the Dock (it occupied full screen width and looked ugly).

But when I double-click on an email in YAM, it opens behind the main window. I can't see why, YAM main window does not overlap the Dock or any of the buttons. Reverting to the old AmiDock prefs makes ClickToFront work again.

Not for me personally, as I already have a comfortable set-up with AmiDock and the Workbench context menu for launching smaller utilities and prefs. A smart demonstration the potential of AmiDock all the same. Nice work!

@Mason

I can create a new Items in smartdock, but all with the name New button. How do I edit the entries in the smartdock?

Open the context menu, and switch to Build mode. Then you can click on each editable content in the button.

Like Mason's successful AISS this is clearly an effort to get a completely standardised look n feel and means to navigate your applications and content into the next distribution of AmigaOS 4.x and I wish him all the best with this latest project.

Change the settings of the dock from "Allways in front" (hope that is the correct translation) to someting else.
That should do the job ;)

Thanks, it can be quite tricky to find the right context menu but eventually I found it...

So, after tuning the Push4Dock and the other docks some more it looks like this

Kind of hard to concentrate on the dock though
