GSDock-0.0.1
The source and OS X binary are available at
http://www.sf.net/projects/gsdock
Features:
*Looks like the OpenStep Dock but behaves somewhat like the OS X Dock
(A hybrid)
*Accepts dragged applications
*Accepts dragged documents and tiles highlight if the app accepts the
document
*Tiles resize as they are added. you can put as many tiles into the
dock as you wish
*Recycler
*Apps animate as they are launched
*Cross compiles to Cocoa/OS X
*Context sensitive menus (oh noo!!!!) on tiles.
Known issues:
When compiled in GNUstep:
*Mouse dragginng events have wrong positions, possible a WMaker
issue.
*Launching apps will not animate.
*AppIcon tiles will still appear on bottom of screen.
*It actually works much better in Cocoa than in GNUstep at the
present.
When compiled in Cocoa:
*Some apps are not reported by NSworkspace as being apps. These apps
will not be swallowed by the dock.
*Dock will grow and place itself under the menu bar.
*Dock will show itself over full screen applications/windows.
When compiled in GNUstep or Cocoa:
*No known method to update the AppIcon when the App changes it.
*As tiles shrink the icons can look jagged.
*No known method to ask other apps to hide or terminate
themselves.
*Recycler is not yet implemented.
*Dock is stuck on right hand side of screen. Cannot be moved at the
present.
*Still has a main menu.
*Will hide if asked, just like it was a regular app.
