<div class="section" id="application-dock">
|
||||
<h1>Application dock</h1>
|
||||
<p>The dock is the column of icons located by default on the right side of the
|
||||
screen.</p>
|
||||
<p>Any application can be attached to the dock. To do this, open an application
|
||||
then simply left-click-and-drag the application's icon to the last position on
|
||||
the dock. The dock will "attract" the icon and it will remain on the dock until
|
||||
removed by the user (left-click-and-drag the icon off the dock - it will
|
||||
disappear.) If you have saved your Window Maker session prior to logout (or set
|
||||
Window Maker to autosave your session upon logout) any icons you docked will
|
||||
automatically reappear at your next - and each subsequent - session.</p>
|
||||
<p>The dock can be configured to remain on top of maximized windows. To do this,
|
||||
right-click on a dock or any docked icon then select appropriate option form
|
||||
<em>Dock position</em> submenu. Consult <a class="reference external" href="menu.html#application-icon-menu">Application icon menu</a> for details.</p>
|
||||
<p>The WMDock icon (by default, with the GNUstep logo) can be dragged sideways to
|
||||
switch the the entire dock from one side of the display to the other.</p>
|
||||
<p>Dragging the WMDock icon downward will move the dock off the display with the
|
||||
exception of the WMDock icon itself, which will remain visible. To restore dock
|
||||
visibility, left-click-and-drag the dock back on screen.</p>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
<div class="section" id="starting-an-application">
|
||||
<h1>Starting an application</h1>
|
||||
<p>Double-clicking the icon of a docked application starts the application.</p>
|
||||
<p>An application that has not been launched normally has an elipsis (three dots)
|
||||
in the bottom-left-corner of the icon and appears in full color as shown below.</p>
|
||||
<div class="borderless figure">
|
||||
<img alt="Unlaunched application icon" src="images/unlaunched_app.png">
|
||||
<p class="caption">Unlaunched application icon</p>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
<p>When the application is running, the elipsis disappears from the
|
||||
bottom-left-corner of the icon and the icon becomes highlited.</p>
|
||||
<div class="borderless figure">
|
||||
<img alt="Launched application icon" src="images/launched_app.png">
|
||||
<p class="caption">Launched application icon</p>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
<p>Sometimes, when the application is running, instead of highlited icon, the icon
|
||||
becomes "greyed out", giving a visual cue that the application is already open,
|
||||
and cannot be launched again.</p>
|
||||
<div class="borderless figure">
|
||||
<img alt="Launched application icon" src="images/grayed_out_icon.png">
|
||||
<p class="caption">Grayed-out application icon</p>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
<p>A docked icon that continues to show an elipsis and remains "full color" even
|
||||
after an instance of the application is running indicates that the
|
||||
application's settings have been modified to allow multiple launches from one
|
||||
docked icon. To do this you must open the application and modify the
|
||||
"application specific" settings in the <a class="reference external" href="win.html#menu">commands menu</a> of the
|
||||
application to allow "shared application icons".</p>
|
||||
<p>Using the "launch" command in the "application icon menu" for the icon is
|
||||
another way to start an application from the dock.</p>
|
||||
<p>From version 0.80.0 on, the dock can "steal" appicons. This feature has nothing
|
||||
to do with Autoattract Icons. When you start an application from somewhere else
|
||||
than either the clip or the dock (menu or terminal), and the appicon exists in
|
||||
one of them (clip or dock), this appicon doesn't appear at the bottom of your
|
||||
screen. The appicon existing in the clip or the dock "stole" it. As a result,
|
||||
the appicon is the same as the one used to start the application from the clip
|
||||
or the dock.</p>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
<div class="section" id="customizing">
|
||||
<h1>Customizing</h1>
|
||||
<p>Left-clicking and dragging an application icon to the dock adds this
|
||||
application to the dock. Obviously, this means the application is running!</p>
|
||||
<p><em>Miniwindows</em> (windows of minimized applications) cannot be docked. The small
|
||||
titlebar on the miniwindow differentiates it from an application's icon.</p>
|
||||
<p>Dragging an icon off the dock removes the docked application.</p>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
<div class="section" id="configuring">
|
||||
<h1>Configuring</h1>
|
||||
<p>There is a dock menu for each icon. Right-clicking the icon displays the
|
||||
"application icon menu". Select the "Settings..." option to configure the
|
||||
application.</p>
|
||||
<div class="borderless figure">
|
||||
<img alt="Launched application icon" src="images/docked_application_settings.png">
|
||||
<p class="caption">Launched application icon</p>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
<p>The application's <em>path</em> and its arguments, the command for middle-click
|
||||
launch, and the icon employed can be changed in this panel.</p>
|
||||
<p>Shell commands such as redirection cannot be used in the command field.</p>
|
||||
<p>The desired icon must be in one of the directories displayed in the panel while
|
||||
browsing. New directories can be added from the <a class="reference external" href="prefs.html#search-path">Search path preferences</a>.</p>
|
||||
<p>A checkbox allows you to start the application when Window Maker is first
|
||||
started. (Note: <em>You want to be careful with this</em>. If you have, for example,
|
||||
your terminal emulator, your file manager, and your browser set to start when
|
||||
Window Maker is started you'll get an open terminal, an open file manager and
|
||||
an open browser <em>every time</em> you start a session! Normally you will only want
|
||||
to start certain dockapps - "regular" applications like a terminal emulator or
|
||||
browser can be started <em>after</em> your session is up and going.)</p>
|
||||
<p>From version 0.62.0 on, a checkbox can be used to prevent accidental
|
||||
removal from the dock.</p>
|
||||
<p>From version 0.70.0 on, a new field has been added for middle-click launch.
|
||||
Entering, for example, "firefox" into a docked application settings panel will
|
||||
launch the Firefox browser.</p>
