Dazzla Veteran Posted January 25, 2002 Veteran Share Posted January 25, 2002 Well as a few of you may know, objectdock got leaked. Most of you will agree with me when I say its quite cool, but it could be better. I've started modifying the bitmaps in the exe, thats easy, what I really want to know, is there a way to change the text for the new items and can you make it so new items can launch apps. You can add shortcuts to it and they will work, but everytime you shut the app down, it loses it all. Plus the added shortcuts dont look so good. The photoshop one I added was a 128 x 128 icon which was converted to a 32 bit bitmap, you also have to create a black and white background for each Icon as well. Making the icons is the easy part. I want to know is there anyone out there who would know how to modify the coding? Please help, there are a lot of aqua fans around who'd much appreciate it... Here's a preview of my modded dock with a new Photoshop 6 item in it: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazzla Veteran Posted January 25, 2002 Author Veteran Share Posted January 25, 2002 Here's an updated screenshot just to show why you need to replace the items with high quality bitmaps and not just drag shortcuts onto there, and also why we need to hack the coding to change the text: I dont need to tell you the reshacker bitmap is on the left and the shortcut is on the right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenreaper Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 Perhaps the programmer? Who happens to be a college student, just like most of the Neowin crowd, if that makes a difference. Understandably, he's not that happy about the situation. Unless you're looking for something specific, decompling tends to be a waste of time. It's not like you get the algorithms in an easy-to-use format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Binary Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 I bought my copy of XP :) sometimes just like everyone else I'll dload programs for "free" ;) but thats just cause these companies charge so much for an app I would only use like 3 times in my whole life. Plus I figure once some1 is handing out a free copy it's not going to hurt their bussiness any cause those people who dload it wouldnt have bought it in the first place :) And I dont have a credit card for online shopping :( sometimes I'll use my parents though, I do pay for programs I'll use on a regular basis :) But it's a damn pain paying for it sometimes :( So I think people should support company's if they will use the software on a regular basis :D if not (like only use it a couple times) use a crack *shrug* I don't think it would hurt, I mean how many times do you listen to those mp3's on ur puter? did you pay for them? ;), but anyways I think decompiling programs for the sole purpose of changing the program for redistribution is wrong no matter who the company. :) But thats just my opinion Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
