Finally At last YoYo Games I have here to say, that I have plans for newer features and better functions and have Cracked out a few Bugs in the Dock, avast the new generation of this product On the MR.SMES! OS, will have the following new features(MR.SMES! OS ONLY):
- A Custom Personalized Messenger feature built into the main frame, of the dock
- A Extra bonus amount of shortcuts to be allowed to be used which will be 56 shortcuts in one dock instead of 48, how get the registered version of it for the MR.SMES! OS, we will also make it that you can have 62 shortcuts that's 12 extra shortcuts... can you believe it what an offer... but it's my Honor to make it...
Now The Bug Fix that changed the aspect of cleaner tidier easier to manage desktop:
- Finally it is not sitting in the center of your desktop but now it is in the top right hand corner of the desktop which means a small amount of room being used up for the dock, and still plenty of room for everything else on the desktop...
Features Soon To come:
- A slight transparent part of the dock, why this means that eventually in the second version of the dock you can keep it open on the right hand corner of the desktop and have Icons underneath it, and of course be able to view them and use your paint extension within the dock, with a few mouse clicks and do it faster and neater and still view your desktop...
- A bit of a drag with the position of the dock, why not select a few newer ones with some buttons, that pop out, in a extension like the paint area of the program, and still allow you to close that part afterwords and maintain the same position on the screen for your dock with out loosing transparency and yes it can be positioned in the center and the top of the screen or the bottom or the left or the right or the actual center of the screen or on any of those other sides, or at the top left corner of the screen, the top right of the screen the bottom right of the screen the bottom left of the screen...(Non registered version) half completely done and then there is the simple sliding part of that feature... so far so good...
- Having trouble with having to change the position on bootup or bootup for the dock, then why ever not have, a option to save the position of the screen to set it, to and next time you boot it up, it will automatically load that position as default and allow you to change it at any time and overwrite the default position on the screen...(Non registered version)
- if that's not enough if you know all your x, y, coordinates of your desktop, like your ABC's you can surely select custom, position set to set it to a custom position on the screen... (Registered version only)
- Don't want to change the position to the drag the dock over to another side of the screen and out of the way, why not literally drag it, by pulling it from one side of the dock to another part of the screen with one click, ok more like sliding it, but it works with one click and not having to move the mouse to move the dock a 1 pixel or a megapixel...(Registered version only)
- A little stuck don't need a help file in the way how about a description bar, to give the description of what the tool/button does...(Non Registered version and also available in the registered version)
and enjoy people I can't wait to see your bright shining smiles on your faces when you get the newer version or the trial version or try out the first version... Need screen shots, MSN(or email) me at: azzgenius@hotmail.com
and yes each version of the Dock will be compatible with the MR.SMES! OS as well as windows xp, and other windows platforms except the one for the MR.SMES! OS only works on the MR.SMES! OS, I mean it was built specifically for the MR.SMES! OS, and no other OS, and if you have wine you can run it on Linux not, that you need it when you already have a Dock for Linux, and Vista, and Apple mac...
Current Features:
- Shortcuts to many programs
- The buttons to move to newer positions on the screen are now implemented so far there are 9 of them all 9 possible positions all corners and sides and even in the center...
so what do you think, give your feed back below(and I have even punctuated the entire 2 paragraphs, and used commas and spaces and fully. Sentences and a full list of information so it's all worth getting this product or reading this post at least and giving a little feed back. Plus it is not completely in capitals...):

Oh... and before you post, we insist you try the beta version we are already aware of the bug with the minimize button and will be fixing it momentarily...
now enough talk try a beta version:
fortunately since it's beta, only we haven't been able to make the ds stack list which means we can allow toggling of the shortcuts and their icons, so currently you will have to wait until the next beta version for that feature to be implemented and may I remind people this is the first beta version of version 1.0 of THE HAWK'S DOCK, and may everyone enjoy the download is here:

and please post your feed back, below here(thank you people):
sorry if it doesn't have a customized loading bar or anything yet or any other commercial garbage to make it look good on loading but heck it loads fast and even faster than the gimp portable if I might say because I tested it, and when trying to make the logo of it improved just while it was running... and then add it in, ok Icon but we do currently have a icon for the product so far...
u cab find the latest newer version updated at: http://www.yoyogames.com/games/show/56560

It sounds good, drsmes, I can't wait to try it out!

well, I even done the programming of the bug fix in pure programming code, all by myself and now I am finding more advanced stuff a little easier but, I don't know about programming multiplayer games. So many server issues and database stuff, and variables and ds stacks to deal with and giving certain commands to certain machines. I am afraid I could screw up badly and get in a bit of trouble with those kinds of issues... look I even am already doing my sentences right, and punctuating my paragraphs...

Well, your grammar IS improving. For one I was able to read your post.

Your project idea sounds cool. I'd like to try and see you throw in something special that other dock/shortcut programs don't have.

Speaking of which, I just got this awesome idea for a project like yours >_<

@pilotteaml: thank you, and thanks once again for the remarks on the grammar, and the dock and how it is much different from other dock programs. Even if it is that 0.1% slower than other docks, it's worth it because of all it's handy features right?

Sounds like a good idea, I'm glad to see you've got to work on a neat project like this. 0.1%, I don't think I'd notice, and the features sound very good.

Congratulations on the grammar improvement!

Might I recommend some features...
-Real time clock
-Resolution checker

All can be done in GML.

Digital, real time clock hmm... yes but how, in fact I'll give you some credits if you tell me how before I figure out how, resolution checker yep I knew I'd need those hidden maybe inside th logo for it, or the product name, as 2 separate objects, and if you like @pilotteaml: if you help out, you can be payed some of the profits and big ca$h in fact help me to do this and I may even hire you after a online job interview... via msn... infact we will work on it as a team but I need you to help me program it's clock and resolution checker, and if you want I can even pay u big ca$h... Aaaaaaaaaaaaaw... my eyes are having smiles, and dollar $ign$ i c big ca$h and dollar $ign$ in our future after I release this product...

I don't have MSN. That's OK.

I'm working on some advanced examples, and a real time clock is one of them. Includes date and toggle on/off as well.

I also don't need any money, but thank you anyways.

well, if u want I can make a credits list and put you on it, and perhaps we could talk about u getting your job with a job interview via the pm, in fact I say we make a excellent team and big cash the larger the team the merrier...

That's OK, I have my own team.

What's this for again?

It's, a top notch dock for xp, complete with options of having digital clock and analog clock and both or none... and if I know how, or some one, who does it may also have a calendar and a weather forecast prediction, panel and news panel on the virtual tv implemented with all possible channels and of course the weather forecast... @piltotteaml: you were saying about the code for the real time, clock? you can pm it to me, and get free credits and go into the credit list... it may not be able to make a shortcut to MSN, yet or WindSlayer but for making shortcuts to just about anything else including IWin Games Manager it does it perfectly...
I don't know why I would want how to do, this but let's just say I want my copy of my dock for me to have a shutdown button and restart and log off, and so I can access them when I need to, and quickly and I kind of figured if this is aloud and technically possible?

I want to see screenshots before I believe you.

ok, I'll take them now... I have 2 screenshots, I'll just upload them, now...
In screenshot1 here as we can see this was when I had the glitch in the dock:
http://files.filefront.com/screenshot1bmp/;1195323
and now if you look at screenshot2, here take a look the glitch is gone it is out of the way of the center of the screen, and is not getting blocky, but now it's neatly tucked into the right hand corner, see:
http://files.filefront.com/Screenshot2bmp/;1195323

Try uploading them to an image uploader so I can view them online. I don't want to download them. (sorry)

Yeah, try PhotoBucket.

@ Zeke:

I'm pretty sure that image is larger than 200x500. =P

Right click and check the properties. 500x200 exactly. :)

you know of any free services like this without the fees... for a pro membership account... not that i'll be needing one...

Just upload your images to imageshack.us

It's free and it's fast and easy to use.

never mind they are on photo bucket now, well here's a preview, or 2 so here's ScreenShot1 here's the big bad boy himself the buggy error:

ScreenShot2, but now neat and tidy and packed away into the corner:

total size of each image: unsure
perhaps I may have underestimated the total size of the images from the preview at photo bucket that I was shown...
alright I'll upload them also with Image shack...
nope registration link after checking email, after providing email address no can do, not uploading to image shack...
like my dock there, you can download a trial edition or buy the full version but I am still working on the trial version right now, it may take a few more weeks than expected but by then, both versions will be ready...
and what do you think of the screenshots and it's quality? I know it isn't the best or entirely professional quality yet, but it's well, on it's way to becoming professional quality... please leave comments, about what you think of it so far...

It's OK, but make your icons cleaner and change the background and it'll look fine.

that's the way I like my dock though how ever you can customize your icons and shortcuts remember...

hhhHHMMmmmm... looks nice. :) This could come in handy alot for me, I was using Rocket dock for awhile, then an Impulse dock. Both eventually crashed :(

Oh... your just jealous... and it's a skin not a background that how ever is my desktop, if u aren't happy with it then get over it, now if u like to use the dock then try for yourself, and check it out... but it ain't even half finished yet...
