Some things I'd like to see for ObjectDock

Wishfull thinking....

from WinCustomize Forums
Now, don't get me wrong, for the money ObjectDock plus is a rockin' program. I love it. And the past few upgrades have been super. As a monkey that makes skins for OD, I sometimes find myself limited in the things I can do as far as design, but that's to be expected. The developers can't read the minds of the folks using or designing for OD. I understand that. So here are a couple of things I'd like to see for ObjectDock, if you have any others, feel free to post 'em. (oh, and if any of these are already in OD, slap me)

1. I know I can set my tabs to be different colors and have different fonts...however, what I'd like to see is a way to have different color fonts for active/inactive tabs. For example, the active tab has a white font, the inactive tabs has a gray or black font.

2. Blurring! I'd love to see the same option that WB6 now has where you could turn on blurring for the docks...say you have a clear dock and where you can see through it is slightly blurred. That would rock.

3. Docks that can be curved. I know I can make curved docks...but how sweet would it be to have the icons follow the curve of the dock?

Ok, your turn.

How about if OD used bitmaps!

How about I cram a couple pounds of poo in your mouth?  I'm just sayin'.

I know that the Foreground was mentioned, I think We talked about it having all four positions....... but what if it had it's own set of margins, like if You needed to tile the background, but the foreground needs to be stretched, or vice versa.....and control over the layer order, if You want the tile image between the background and foreground or on top.

The foreground has it's own set of margins already and you can set them just like you would the background images.  If you want to use Tile, put in the TileCenter=1 or TileVCenter=1.  The only problem is not having all four positions.  Very limiting imo.

 

Did you know that you can use TileCenter=1 or TileVCenter=1 on the tabs of tabbed docks? Just slap it on the end of whatever tab you want it on.  Very handy when you have textured tabs.  I've seen alot of tabs that have some cool textures, but then get stretched in the middle and look like shite.  I tried this one time and it worked to my surprise.  ;)

Cool,  I wasn't too sure.......and I agree about the positions.

I just realized it when I did the pressurized docks, used it on the rusty tabs. :thumbsup:
