What is the status bar dock at bottom of this zDesk video
I like this status bar style docky at the bottom left of this zDesk video.
Is this a 3rd party app I can use with Mint system on say a Firebee?

I have also seen square icon boxes at the bottom of some Atari videos (like NeXTSTEP) and wondered what that app or docky is.

This version need 68881 processor, so this archive doesn't work. I see the sources besides, and wonder why a recompilation for ColdFire hasn't been done yet. I'll try to do it myself this week-end.

Well, it was quick with gcc-cross-compilation under Xcode/MacOSX... and it seems to work fairly on my FireBee.

Re: What is the status bar dock at bottom of this zDesk vide
Joska, yes love it!
What desktop are you using here? Thing? Teradesk? Other?
Can the taskbar be pinned to right or left side rather than at bottom?
Btw, with a running app from the taskbar, how do you know the app is running or in background? Does the taskbar icon change or ?
Very cool!

It's Teradesk. The icons can be found here. The same icons are used in Taskbar.AtariSociety wrote:What desktop are you using here? Thing? Teradesk? Other?

I just tried it under XaAES on my Firebee. It seems to be using 8-9% CPU constantly, which IMO is way too much for such a tool.Rajah Lone wrote:Well, it was quick with gcc-cross-compilation under Xcode/MacOSX... and it seems to work fairly on my FireBee.

Yes Ztask use a very small timer in evnt_multi() this is why it load so many the system.joska wrote:I just tried it under XaAES on my Firebee.

Would a backport to 16color EGA palette and 32x32 pxiels size be possible? Those look great and I think they would work nicely in 32x32 too...

Re: What is the status bar dock at bottom of this zDesk vide
The icons are not mine. Taskbar itself can handle icons of "any" (within the limitations of the AES) size. You can use the 32x32 version (which already exists) of the icons in my screenshot, no problem.simonsunnyboy wrote:Would a backport to 16color EGA palette and 32x32 pxiels size be possible?

Re: What is the status bar dock at bottom of this zDesk vide
Which part are you referring to? My screenshot is showing plain XaAES on a truecolour screen. Olivier's screenshot is showing MyAES in truecolour. Maybe you're using 16 or 256 colours? Both XaAES and MyAES will look a lot "flatter" in lesser colour depths.mdivancic wrote:I'm running XaAES on my MiNT installation, but haven't been able to find much on this part of the system.

Re: What is the status bar dock at bottom of this zDesk vide
Both have 3D window gadgets and 3D themes for the desktop, not the standard one I'm running. Basically I'm asking where you got the theme from?joska wrote:Which part are you referring to?

I was wonder same questionsimonsunnyboy wrote:Would a backport to 16color EGA palette and 32x32 pxiels size be possible? Those look great and I think they would work nicely in 32x32 too...

EDIT: apparently, 16 colors version is included! from readme.txt:
"All the icons are available in the
standard size of 48x48 pnts., in the 256 (NVDI palette), 16 (NVDI palette)
and 2 colour variants."
btw joska, can we expect your new task bar/manager?

I can't speak for MyAES as I'm no MyAES user, but the "theme" in my screenshot is standard XaAES except for the window widgets.mdivancic wrote:Both have 3D window gadgets and 3D themes for the desktop, not the standard one I'm running. Basically I'm asking where you got the theme from?

Re: What is the status bar dock at bottom of this zDesk vide
Not sure about "theme". I don't have any themes myself but some settings for Xaaes that makes it looks nicer.mdivancic wrote:Both have 3D window gadgets and 3D themes for the desktop, not the standard one I'm running. Basically I'm asking where you got the theme from?
Try in your Xaaes.cnf file
Code: Select all
gradients=1
Code: Select all
gradients=g_blue
I thought that the default should be 1, meaning you should be already seeing the 3D effects or at least that (ugly to me) texture effect.
I also changed the widget to my own creation. But you can use one of those predefined ones, like Magic style:
Code: Select all
widgets= widgets/magicwdg.rsc
(or there were already plenty queries about this in this forum)

BTW... you need to turn colour to 32 bits or hi-colour mode.
Not sure what it is called in SV.

Re: What is the status bar dock at bottom of this zDesk vide
I can answer for MyAES as for Joska, this is the standard windframe. On new version this windframe is loaded for screen from 256 colors to true color, for less than 256 colors the windframe is not loaded and use an internal windframe that is very near from the TOS 1! I think MyAES doesn't display correctly in black and white screen my goal was to design it for true color screen.joska wrote:I can't speak for MyAES as I'm no MyAES user, but the "theme" in my screenshot is standard XaAES except for the window widgets.mdivancic wrote:Both have 3D window gadgets and 3D themes for the desktop, not the standard one I'm running.
