very nice look and i like what you got going with how it branches off into all different apps going up.... do you happen to have those two exe file handy where you could attach them here? fences is getting a little old to me.

Looks really good, being using it for a while. It makes it easier to open up your programs.

sure thing d/\sh

heres the actualy application

and heres the fan addon.

best eastiest instruction i can give for setting up is to take your shortcuts that are on your desktop and put them into folders for example





once you download the stacks docklet throw it in this folder directory

C:\Program Files\RocketDock\Docklets

now to making your actual fan docklets is easy

1. right click your docklet
2. go to add item
3. click stack docklet

you now have a clear icon in your docklet.
right click that icon and click icon settings.

here is where doing your organization comes in handy ^^

if you saw how i took and made my folders separated like that aka separated by item type then shortcuts in there. well under icon settings i will click folder then navigate to where i placed those folders and for like my imaging tab i would click the image folder. inside the image folder is my photoshop fireworks illustrator lightroom and bridge shortcuts. after you have chosen your folder choose your icon with the second setting.

now to achieve the actual fan appearance all you do is change the mode to fan. now if you have more than 10 icons i would recommend choosing grid as you can fit a lot more.

this should do it. if you have any troubles let me know ^^

yeah i am sooo fcking glad i redid it like this because before hand i just had all my icons on my desktop which made it a pain in the ass to find the program i needed.. then on top of that i had to deal with downloading files to the desktop which led to making it hard to find those files after downloaded because i had them sorted by name. now all i keep on my actual desktop beside this is files i download which i delete after i get done with. or organize into my document.
