Quantum Dock 

THIS IS RTG ONLY !!!! ;)

   

QDock is closest dream dock I've imagined !

QDock has optional stylish half transparent background and it actually loads Workbench Wallpaper to make fake transparent effect, animated icons and all this adds to memory & CPU usage but creates nice look!

QDock never sleeps due to animated gfx would not work, it does lower the fps/CPU need when not in use and only to a level where it still feels responsive, if solid background is used it lowers memory & CPU usage 

Drag HDD/apps/directory/text etc. icon to QDock, it senses placement, if there is no icon(.info) it will not be added to dock. Max 4x 25 icons

If icons are greater than 46pix in any direction it will be scaled, no need to get new icons

QDock size is minimum 6 icons to keep menu etc. visible

QDock supports Trashcan, just drag Trashcan from sys:Trashcan to dock, you get drop on Trashcan function, it moves file to Trashcan

In HELP guide there is a drop on icon list (edit), type in what apps to receive drop on, you can also add *s or *a that indicates the icon on dock is a script/Arexx to drop on

To launch app/text/open drawer etc. just click once

To move a icon, HOLD icon clicked down until icon moves 2 pixel up then release mouse button, move icon to desired place and click mouse button

To delete a icon, HOLD icon clicked down until icon disappears and then release mouse button

Hover menu option shows function text (if more than 8 icons dock width/height)

Hover icons shows icon name
