This docklet emulates the Mac OS X Leopard stacks. Dikie zhivotnie prezentaciya dlya detej. Stack Docklet makes it even easier to organize your desktop icons.

Where to get it: Please consider getting instead. Latest version: (version 1.0.0.374) You can also download the full version with support for special folders, at your own risk: (not recommended) hxxp://www.matiasmoreno.com.ar/StackDocklet-preview.zip (replace hxxp with http) Older, more stable version: (old version, mostly stable, no support for special folders) Note to Object Dock users with tabbed docks: Please read this post as suggested by Panta: Note to Vista users: You have to disable UAC for RocketDock.

If you don't do that, Stack Docklet will fail to save settings. I'll cite eriku who in turn cited another user. Leerlaufprozess 2008-01-09 09:46:50 It doesn't save the setting due to Vista's UAC. Here's what you do: (I'm using a German Windows so my translation of the commands might not be completly right): Rightclick on you RocketDock Folder and choose 'properties'. Click on the 'security' tab and edit/change (the first button).

In the upcomming dialog clikc on 'add' and in the enxt dialog click on the button in the lower left corner ('advanced' i guess?). Then click on 'search now'. In the list of the results choose your normal user account name, the one u log in with. Then click on OK and again on OK. Now just check 'allow' for the very first item in the list ('full access'?).

Simply click OK two more times to accept the changes and it should work. Things it does: Shows a Fan or a Grid stack, a la Leopard. Options are be: Automatic, Fan, Grid.

Compatibility: Requires Gdi+ (GdiPlus) (already included -AFAIK- in Windows XP SP 2, NT 2000 SP 4, Vista) I'm testing it on Rocket Dock, it should be compatible with Object Dock and Y'z Dock as I'm using Object Dock's Docklet SDK. KKMenu: THIS IS NOT A REPLACEMENT FOR KKMENU. I 'll not may implement any some functionality of it at all, unless as it is a functionality of Mac OS X Stacks itself now (sometimes I think Apple employees visit this thread to find ways to make Stack Docklet's coding harder). Note: Mac OS X Leopard seems did put all the functionality KK Menu emulates, into. Yes, the stacks. X( History: (last edited 31-jan-2009, 18:12 GMT-03:00) • fixed problem when dock is in any but bottom edge (left, top, right dock positions). • fixed problem with opening wrong file on click.

• changed font to Tahoma 8px • fixed found by alabanco • added dock icon animation when clicking on stack item • stack now doesn't appear in task bar • added 'Open folder' (didn't want to name it 'Open in Finder'. But will be customizable later) • fixed problem with stack getting outside screen (the need-a-scrollbar will be fixed later) • fixed problem outside screen but in vertical docks, improved 48x48 on shell links, fixed VLC issue, added default dock icon. • added Automatic, Fan and Grid options.

Fan only works for bottom side docks. Renamed Form2 to Finder. • added Alt+Left click to open settings, for docks where Right click doesn't work. • icons now pop down in front of dock icon (before they popped down behind) • animations closer to Leopard ones. Added sort by name, date of creation/last modification/last access, and kind. • did an addition-that-maybe-fixed-it for those with problems opening shortcuts.
