Mac OS X Tiger-style dock application.
Does not work in the web player.
Works best when saved to desktop and ran by double-clicking.

Current features:

  • Customisable program shortcuts (edit /appdata/dock/dock.txt)
  • Loads icons from application metadata
  • Automatic size adjustment
  • Follows user theme
  • Displays below or above every window (user selectable)
  • Reacts to user mouse in a way similar to the OS X Tiger dock

Not supported, but I might add these in the future:

  • [Very Likely] Custom positions ("north", "east", "south", "west", etc.)
  • [Quite Likely] Selectable orientation (landscape or portrait)
  • [Less Likely] Some sort of interactive applist edition thing
  • [Less Likely] Open shortcuts that aren't files with associated programs (currently throws error but doesn't crash)

Changelog:
0.1:

  • Initial release
    0.2:
  • [New feature] You can now specify the directory the given program should be opened in (though the paths should probably not contain spaces in them now)
  • [Enhancement] Icons now bob upwards when hovered over, and when clicked their background briefly changes colour
  • [Enhancement] Edges are now nice and rounded (and even transparent when needed)!
  • [Bugfix] Hopefully fixed unresponsiveness in certain situations

As a big fan of centred docks, I thank you! 🙏

No matter how many times I try, the dock becomes unresponsive once I open the notebook.
Am I doing something wrong?

You should save it and run it by double clicking it. When run using load and ctrl+r/run the program will do a weird "quit-to-console" if you press esc.

I saved it as dock.p64 and double-clicked to launch it.
It seems to work for a little while, then suddenly it's unresponsive.
Click on the text editor icon, edit the text, save, close the text editor, get a coffee. The dock is already unresponsive!
It's a little confusing what's going on.

That's certainly odd. I'll try to fix it in the next version.
If you don't want to wait you go into the source code and set z=-10 in the window definition in _init(). I found that it won't be responsive if I launch it at boot with startup.lua unless I change that value. Seems like z=-999 is too low for picotron... :P

Edit: Version 0.2 should address the issue (and it looks much better IMO too!)
Let me know if it works now.

I tried it right away.
I think it's working very well with the fixes.
No issues so far and very responsive.
Thank you very much :D
