DownloadThis .NET utility is a functional reproduction of Rocketdock's original settings screen. This makes the utility familiar to Rocketdock users. The original Rocketdock's settings screen has a few annoying bugs or limitations. One of the bugs is the time the extended time Rocketdock takes to respond to a right-click on an icon when your icon library is large (300+ icons) . This is vital functionality as it is precisely how you change the appearance or the functionality of any Rocketdock icon. This utility is open source VB.NET, enhances rocketdock and fixes bugs.
The project is now 100% complete except for final full testing on Windows 10 and XP. I making some final enhancements/bugfixes and these will be released shortly.
It runs well on Windows 7 64 bit and 32 bit.
Features
- You can flip to the next Rocketdock item without having to leave the settings screen completely as before.
- It indicates by number which Rocketdock item is currently selected.
- The user can delete unwanted icons directly from the file thumbnail display.
- The icon preview can be resized so the user can see how the icon will look in the doc
- There are tooltips for all controls (before there were none).
- There is now a readily available help facility.
- The images in the thumbnail view are now more visible at 64x64 rather than 32x32 as they were before.
- The user can flip between file list and thumbnail view as it suits them.
- The new "get more" button is not a dead link and instead takes you to a useful location where there are a lot more icons for the user to download.
- There is a working icon type filter allowing you to select one type of icon. The old one was non-functional.
- The code is open source so that a user can change the utility themselves.
- The user can refresh the file list at any time if there have been any changes to a folder.
- The utility saves copies of the settings.ini file so that you can always revert your dock back to an earlier state.
