About BeDock:
BeDock is a new dock and launch pad for BeOS with a modern look which aims to emulate Docks like the MacOS Leopard Dock

Written in YAB.
Please see the screen shots for the best description.

Features:


  • Pick your own icon images.

  • A familiar modern zoom-in / zoom-out effect when mouse-over the launchers.

  • Glass-shelf background with adjustable transparency (can be completely hidden or made fully opaque).

  • Drop and drag files on to launchers (e.g. to move to trash or open in StyledEdit, etc.).

  • A *Start* menu shelf is displayed for the left-most launcher only (see screen shots) which shows all the items in the be menu folder. {This can be navigated with the mouse or keyboard up/down/enter}.

  • See the README instructions included in the archive for more details.



  • Note - I forgot to mention in the ReadMe the following: Because the first launcher on the left will activate the Start-Menu shelf when the left mouse button is clicked, please use the middle mouse button to actually launch the file or folder that you designated to be run with this launcher.


    Please enjoy and Please post or send me some screen shots !

    Thanks,

    hey68you

    BeDock Haiku (v2)
    version v2 - Artistic License 
       
    Variation description:
    Smooth Scaling using Haiku app_server make icons look much better than the BeOS version.

    Hacked away at yab-1.5 source code to get this to work (see my talkback comments and even fixed some bugs that only showed up on my BeDock code when running under Haiku).

    Details about this version:
    Full Smooth-Scaling Support (this is a Haiku-only version).

    NEW FEATURES:

    1) Fully smooth-scaled icons ( I hope!)

    2) New indicator under launch icon if Application is running (or if it's a folder then indicator will show if the folder is open in Tracker).

    3) You can now have a background image instead of the transparent glass shelf (select the radio button "Use Picture for Glass Shelf" in the configuration tab). I have included "Leopard for kxDocker" (GPL) as the default background image. Please feel free to create new backgrounds and post them and / email them to me.

    This includes a "Separator" image (Right-click on the icon afterwhich you want the separator icon to be displayed and and choose "Separator Put After me")

    4) Auto-Raise feature

    with the hey application installed and SpicyKeys you can now automatically activate the BeDock and pop-up the Start-Menu shelf (simulating the windows key in windows that brings up the start menu). Add the following command as a New SpicyKey:
