Re: LeaveOut & PutAway CLI commands

You can simply echo the filename to the hidden ".backdrop" file, and reboot. F.i., if you wish to leave out the file DH1:drawer/LeaveMeOut: echo ":drawer/LeaveMeOut" >> DH1:.backdrop It requires a reboot; menu option "Restart Workbench" doesn't work, and neither does up...

Re: Adding DefIcons with script

It's probably a bad idea to change a user's system prefs I agree it is a bad idea to change with user preferences, but if there was an official way to do it safely, it'd be great. Meanwhile, I've been looking into the Merge-option of DefIcons, and found it not entirely working. I'd expect it to wor...

Re: We need topbar plugins/modules

There you can see that in the top bar i have 2 icons, then clock-dockie and then amiupdate docky. While 2 icons and amiupdate ones are scaled well, clock-dockie don't scaled at all. Why ? Bug in dockie or in amidock ? I feared that. The clock docky most likely draws its own images using a rast port...

Re: We need topbar plugins/modules

So, basically,if the icon scale factor could be set to fixed value (i.e. the option "Always enforce minimum size" should appliy to icons that are scaled), we'd have exactly what is requested? The main dock is the toplevel bar. 1. Move it up to top position. 2. Put all you application docki...

Re: We need topbar plugins/modules

BZ #4: If we choice to "Place AppDockies in: topbardock", and then run let's say AmiUpdate, then, animation icon jump to the top-bar docky in big size, broken layout of docky BZ #4: yes we probably require a way to categorize docks, and a way so that dockies can require (or not) to be dis...

Re: UI_Style_Guide_Workbench

AppWindows only work when your application is running on the Workbench screen. This makes sense because [...] draggable objects can't be dragged across screens. If the user opts to run your application on a screen other than Workbench, set your AppWindows so they will revert to AppMenus (see below)...

Re: We need topbar plugins/modules

Could docky be done right now to be able to do this: When user click on it 1 time, it just bring settings window , by choice in which, the data in the dock bar will be changed ? I.e. keymap switcher, and we just press on let's say UK flag image, it bring menu where we can choice languages to switch...

Re: We need topbar plugins/modules

@jaokim We also do not know if author of amidock will works on it (but only him know the code good), and will he in interest to do all of this. Will he improve it or not at all. While new stuff can be done Well, of course. But we don't know if there's an author for the new stuff. And at what point ...

Re: We need topbar plugins/modules

1. some users do not want amidock at all. I mean completely do not want to have those panels. And you're sure they'd want a top level panel? ;) If they'd want on, they could just rmove all other AmiDocks, and only keep the top bar. 2. even if another user is ok with loading amidock, he still will n...

Re: We need topbar plugins/modules

I am all for the conceptual ideas presented, but I think that instead of dissing an implemented concept and API already in use (AmiDock), it'd be wiser to suggest enhancements to AmiDock. All points you describe are technically possible to do today with Dockies -- its only the visual and usability r...
