![]() Oldest version of stack docklet is working well on my dock currently and it is combined with chrisn'soft's standalone stack. So that's good, but I still don't know how to display a directory listing. Is there any way to create sub menus with Objectdock Plus 2.0, without using add on docklets, other than with tabbed docks Finally, I see that Objectdock 2 packs the icons tighter on a dock (less space between icons). Update: new info: there are some command line commands in rain meter which can be used to bring all the widgets to top, and they will display on top of everthing. But there are no gadgets to display specific directory contents either? Simply going with native Windows Gadgets. (There are other parameters to un-always-on-top them of course.) Now if only there was a clickable directory list plugin. exe with those parameters, achieving the exact needed functionality. With a shortcut app one could make a keyboard shortcut which would call the rainmeter. exe with some command line options (while the host rainmeter app already running), which will cause all the existing rainmeter gadgets to become always-on-top, effectively making them into a dashboard. Rainmeter: A great app for widgets, but 1) you still have to minimize everything to get to it and 2) there does not seem to be a plugin/skin to display a directory's contents. The ObjectDock Settings window has three tabs: The ObjectDock icon, Home, and Settings. You have to place shortucts into the rectangle one by one then. It lets you group your shortcuts into rectangles, but there isn't even an option to have a rectangle that will display a certain directory. Stardock Fences: It only modifies the desktop, you still have to minimize all windows to get to it. Some options that I have discovered: (maybe there are plugins to them which will make the needed functionality?) (Not the shortcut to the directory, which can be done on the desktop.) Also, it automatically displays the desktop icons, which might not always be desirable (you can hide them completely with a desktop option, but what if you want to see them when you do open the desktop?), and having a dedicated dashboard would be the best anyway.Īlso it would be very nice if this dashboard program would support showing a contents of a specific directory (I know for example KDE can do that). You can kind-of achieve the same functionality by simply placing gadgets on the desktop and then Win+D each time you want to get to it, but seems way too slow (if there are many programs open that will require swapping when minimizing them). ![]() When you press the button again, the window dissapears, and you return to the exact state you were before. It's very customizable and you add your own custom icons as well. Here you can custom configure the flyout menu with a list of commonly used folders, or create a custom flyout menu with a variety of options such as folders, shortcuts, docklets, etc. ![]() I mean the functionality that exists in for example MacOS or KDE, where you press a button, and a fullscreen window appears, on which you can manually define gadgets/elements. You should now have your new flyout menu on the dock, and the configuration window open. Is there a good dashboard-like app for Windows? ![]()
