Does anyone know how? Also, I can add a program to the dock but can’t seem to figure out how to remove it if I want to. I’ve tried a “right” mouse click. I’ve tried to “drag” the icon off the dock… nada. I would also like to try out some of the other things seen in the screenshot. Like adding/removing tabs, auto-hide and maybe putting the dock somwhere else but the bottom. Any insite would be appricated.
I can confirm that dragging to the trash does not work. The main issue I run into, other than no prefs, is that if I end up with a program on the dock that I don’t want there. I have to go into ~config/Settings and delete the dock setting file. This does remove the program, but it also removes everthing and I have to setup the dock from scratch again. It doesn’t happen too often but it is a bummer when it does. Maybe someone will take a look at the prefs.
Thanks for your response. At least I know it isn’t a “me” problem.
I had a few minutes to toy around with the hey commands before work. Apparently setting the dock to a different location is disabled in this build. You can test it with:
hey DockBert set DockLocation of Window 0 to top
Autohide does appear to be functioning but I haven’t tried to change the speed of it:
hey DockBert set AutoHide of Window 0 to 'bool(true)'
Tabs can’t be managed via the scripting API, however they can be created by holding the Control key and dragging something that has already been put on the dock.
Ya, I was able to turn on AutoHide but not able to move it to a different location. I realize that DockBert isn’t the most popular thing in HaikuDept. But maybe we can get lucky and someone will update the rest of it to work in Haiku. But, I have more control now then I did and I am gratefull for that.
Instead of hey, you can use Kottan to modify settings more easily. Just open it and drop dock_settings file in the window. Note that, at the opposite of the hey method, DockBert must be closed before proceeding.
