You son of a ---

You never write, you never call, you never...

Oh wait, we've never met.

HI!

I don't know, but I do remember you because you made that awesome wallpaper with the pool table, balls and cue stick!! Which inspired me to try making a wallpaper of a golf course, which never went anywhere because it sucked big time!!!
Anyway, it is really good to see you again!!!....mmm...kind of frightening isn't it!!!

Get to skinning !

horizon! zup?
I've been a bit absent myself, but that's about to change.

Welcome back horizon (I know you...   )

And welcome back Super K!

I'll be driving through Marshall on the 26th . . can you have coffee ready?

Coffee is always ready at my house ... I'm addicted. I reckon I could spare a cup or two.

Hey, Koasati. Good to see you, man. Don't be a stranger   

i've all but stopped working with 3-d teddy, but i'm glad something came of it

hello fuzzy, hello koasati.

it's nice to bump into everyone again, and i suppose i will vstyler, i'm sure i could submit a few things but... well i guess i need to be finding out some things, i have no idea how much might have changed since last time.

don't suppose any object dock oriented people are around? or maybe i should head into the skinning forum.

I'm still hangin around if your referring to dock backgrounds and such as well as Cavan and a few others....and theres also a new kid on the block (Messiah) putting out some great stuff as well!

i'm sure you're as likely to help as any gizmos, though updating to the newest version answered a few questions. i was hopeful the zoomer dock might have been "fixed" to work as the tabbed docks do, i never did get around to mailing jeff about that. but it's nice to see some new stuff, and especially nice to see that clipping bug is gone.

but some stuff i'm not sure on yet would be, are their any new[ish] lines of code? are there any concerns on vista that i need to be aware of? or is it just the same to make them as ever? and... i forgot the other stuff i was going to ask.

going to check out the fresh blood for now.

Actually there are some new codes you can use...but I don't think Jeff has ever gotten around to updating the actual "SkinningTheDock" file. Rather than having the TabOverlap Left/Right at the top now you can add that to each background along with a new contentbuffer code for tabs. They would be used for tabs that have graphics in them that you don't want the text to overlap onto.

And for the side docks using this code

Background right is...
left is bottom
right is top

Background left is...
left is top
right is bottom



[Background]
Image = YourImage.png
LeftWidth = ?
TopHeight =?
RightWidth = ?
BottomHeight = ?
OutsideBorderLeft = ?
OutsideBorderRight = ?
ContentBufferTop = ?
ContentBufferBottom = ?

TabOverlapLeft = ?
TabOverlapRight = ?
TabContentBufferLeft = ?
TabContentBufferRight = ?

[backgroundBottom]
LeftWidth = ?
TopHeight =?
RightWidth = ?
BottomHeight = ?
OutsideBorderLeft = ?
OutsideBorderRight = ?
ContentBufferTop = ?
ContentBufferBottom = ?

TabOverlapLeft = ?
TabOverlapRight = ?
TabContentBufferLeft = ?
TabContentBufferRight = ?

[backgroundLeft]
LeftWidth = ?
TopHeight =?
RightWidth = ?
BottomHeight = ?
ContentBufferLeft = ?
ContentBufferRight = ?
OutsideBorderTop = ?
OutsideBorderBottom = ?

TabOverlapLeft = (Top)
TabOverlapRight = (Bottom)
TabContentBufferLeft = (Top)
TabContentBufferRight = (Bottom)

[backgroundRight]
LeftWidth = ?
TopHeight =?
RightWidth = ?
BottomHeight = ?
ContentBufferLeft = ?
ContentBufferRight = ?
OutsideBorderTop = ?
OutsideBorderBottom = ?

TabOverlapLeft = (Bottom)
TabOverlapRight = (Top)
TabContentBufferLeft = (Bottom)
TabContentBufferRight = (Top)

And you might want to get with Messiah as well....I've seen him using codes I didn't even know worked with OD as far as resizing the icons within the tile docks. I haven't tried them as of yet since I haven't done any tiles so I can't tell you much more than that.

i never was a fan of tiles, maybe if i could tile and use a background, and one day i might think of some good way to use the foreground feature as well lol.

oh and did we ever get the ability to hotkey the dock, or just hotspots and such still? i didn't see it, but i've been looking over a lot i'm hoping i missed it, i'd kill for a way to bring a floating tab dock to the front by pushing a mouse button.

Welcome back Horizon - I remember you also

Yep I remember you.

Good to see you.

Good to see you Koasati as well.
