*UPDATE*

Now you can download the 1024x768 version of the dock. In this release was deleted some zoomers so it's better for lower resolutions, and was fixed the old iTunes logo. Enjoy!

Hi guys. I'm releasing my OS X Dock for DesktopX, wich features iTunes Control and Home PopUp (the earlier release was the beta version).

This is my first DesktopX theme so please try it and send me your comments.

Very soon I'll release my msgina.dll and shell32.dll OS X version, so stay tuned!

[lazydesert]

[cerbero]

Great job man. Best windows dock i've seen so far.

[Guest deadzombie]

Excellent work!

Reminds me of something...hmmm....

[Amilcar]

Hi deadzombie. Here is an extract from the readme file:

----------------------------------------------------------------------

** Credits

----------------------------------------------------------------------

This dock was developed usin as base and inspiration the

excelent aqua dock from deadzombie. I want to thank to deadzombie

because their excellents jobs are always an inspiration for me.

If you deadzombie read this, listen me, your'e my master!

All the icons/zoomers was rebuilded using the original icons from

Apple, and the dock bar was made from screen shots so it's very

closer to the real thing.

Your'e the man!

Hey Amilcar! thats GREAT! ... the email Notify Works Good Too! ... My Only Comment, is the iTunes Part! ... can u Chaneg the icon, to the new iTunes icon, rather than the Old Skool one?! ... Besides that, its GREAT! :D

NeYo

[Amilcar]

Of course NeYo, i can do that, the only problem is that i don't know how it is (I don't have OS X), so maybe you could post a pic or something...

Thanks to all for your comments, I spend several days with pain in the ass building this fu***ng dock and your words are music for my ears.

[Steve]

Great Buddy! ... Here...

... i was gonna say something, but i forgot! lol!

...oh! ... a Side Dock Would be Cool ... the right Side, But that'd mean u'd need 2 Adjust the MOuse Over Arrow effects and Stuff, i guess one Step @ a time, but thats' what i'd like 2 see! :p

Neyo

Your'e right Kiron, but these files was the preview release, I send it to duckie for test purposes.

In the new msgina is finally resolved the buttons issue (now all of them are "real" buttons), and have all the icons/text dialogs replaced.

In teh new shell32, you'll see the new osx explorer bar and an all new set of icons, even some ones made for me using the Apple's GUI guidelines.

Thanks for you interest!

damn. nice desktop.

put windowfx2 on there and i'd have a hard time telling the difference...

I'm seriously thinking about making my own dock program soon. I've got to pick up some books on directx, but i think i can do it (i've had some experience with the dock animation routines through that flash animation one that was out a while ago).

I'll let you all know if I even get started....

[Concept]

sweeeet.

deadzombie, could u please post the templates or whatever of all ur smiley faces? those thangs are too kewl, dude. i'd like to incorporate some of those into wallpapers with my name in addition to the smiley face. please!! i'm begging and grovelin ghere, deadzombie!!! ;)

[brn2prgrm]

Hey man, great theme! Only one question.... Think you could make it for other resolutions also? I only have a 19 inch monitor which runs only runs at 60 hertz in 1280x1024 and hurts my eyes like crazy. Look great otherwise though, keep up the good work!

[Hummer]

wow nice work this one.. thanks.

My finished smilie faces are really reserved for people I know well. It's something I do when I'm toying with a new project in my head. That's why you only see a few around and they show up randomly. Sorry...I keep them to myself. But feel free to make your own. They're pretty easy to make and great practice with the freeform pen tool. Learn the might of the anchor point!

Amilcar:I wasn't giving you a hard time! I promise! I'm using your VERY much improved pop-up objects instead of my ghetto ones; you nailed them perfectly!

And guys...Amilcar gets mega props for a very nice, very complete readme file. I guarantee that if he needs any help with these objects, images or anything I'll go out of my way for him because he gave credit where credit is due! (although he seems to be doing awesome on his own!)

deadzombie I think it's about time that you tell everyone that you stole my dockbar that I made about 2 years ago when you hacked into my computer then threatened to firebomb my house if I told anyone :p hehe.

[Duckie]

My good friend, you did an excellent job. Now I guess i can trash my copies i was making and use yours. If i get a chance, these WILL go on the site.

Thanks and keep up the great work.

[Pas]

deadzombie, i understand, dude. ya can't blame me for asking, tho. :) i'm an old man. when u say something about a freeform pen tool and anchor point, to me, that means a sharpie with a piece of string tied to it and anchored with a thumbtack. u youngsters are the graphic experts. lol

Good Lord man, how old do you think I am? I was tromping semi naked models around in paint before most of these guys were chewing on crayons.

Come to think about it, who here has programmed there own art in basic or pascal on a TRS-80 or Atari 400?

Right Here! TRS-80 COCO I used to do a lot of that ****.. lines and lines of code.. the toughest I ever did was an oriental Dragon.. I had several sheets of graph paper taped together which I then drew the dragon on.. from that point I filled in the squares on the graph paper, numbered arcoss the top and side so I knew where each point was then went to town coding.. took me forever, but damn it looked good when done. :-)

[Gator]

I just tried out the dock, and I must say it is very well made. Great work......but I prefer using my own dock. :) :lick:

[Cjohn]

Iceman, how do you add shortcuts to your dock? Plz help. no one has yet to explain to me how.
