Would love to see the HiQDock working again. When I found out about it earlier this year, it was broken with latest Haiku Night builds.

With help of developer MadMax, I started an experimentig with adding the original Dell function keys to adjust laptop screen brightness. In this case brightness it is really key combos.
[Fn] + [Down arrow] Decrease display brightness
and
[Fn] + [Up arrow] Increase display brightness
It was FUN !.. if it would have been concluded into success … some tears would have tracked my drunkard face !..
Now I understand why some devs wants to keep the coding to remain HAVE FUN !..
… if it works finally, I report back 
Shot a new evidence with dimmed light of my desktop -
(if BeScreenCapture would work more reliably .. then I would present even a small motion picture ;-)) )
Great news about my HiQDock - I still see an issue at least on my VM, that the windows for the Dock Options and Change Icon Image are blank

I made a yab script eons ago, xtn.sh - Easy and fast file sharing from the command-line. , it’s a faux replicant behaviour if you “sink” it to the desktop layer, or pin it if you want always on top

I saw that too. Wasn’t sure if thr was just a placeholder.
Ahoy @zuMi !
Thanks, I downloaded and tried out.
I have 3 things which I found, that’ why it may not fully applicable for me :
- It is only on that workspace where I launched. I have four actually.
Of course,
I have the classic Clock replicant that is not for check the time, it’s a “gem on the desktop” 
Also I have a Clock on the shelf as well, which is built-in standard.
Why do I want this +1 clock ?
- → It can be big ! much easier to see the time, almost immediately as I overlook the Desktop
→ I need it if I watch something that occupies full screen, and it still visible.
Your app fulfill these aspects basically, and better than an equivalent replicant this way.
Ok, then I can launch it when it needed, and then it will be on that workspace where I watch something. As I have different workspace for browsing (Youtube or other video sharing site) and for launching media player apps.
This way this point may not be so strong point ;-))
- The dim parts of the digits are disturbing for me.
I know – this way better imitates a digital clock, what was sitting on the room’s furniture or in old calculators’ display, but I would be happier if not seen at all.
It is a valid point.
- I would like that… if it must be seen on the Deskbar while running …
it would be better on the Shelf as it is just as an other small applet, cleaner that way.
It is also valid point for me.
Thanks anyway, I think on its usage :))
As I see, you modified the Haiku source code as you have a similar, but better digit clock on the Shelf. Its display better reminds me to a computer graphical clock as there’s no dim parts of the digits. Nice. 
Some other ones may also install it, if it would be available.

There are options, if you right click on it…
Try Pin, it should help with your workspace problem. Personally, I find Sink interesting. I wish that option was available for replicants like Clipdinger monitor or DeskCalc.

You are right - thanks.
I probed only Sink first, and when I clicked on Pin I had not checked Workspaces replicant, what it shows. And also first time I thought Pin as like what Lock can be - save its position.
Hmm … that’s more. Clever 
Now I would wish
just clear the dim parts of the digits
would move to Shelf when running
It’s yab, possibly easy to understand. I found the line without having played with yab before. Open in with your simple text editor, find the line with DRAW TEXT blah blah blah standard$ , "MainView" near the end and delete it or prepend REM . Save, run and enjoy. I guess the few DRAW SET before that would not be needed now, but removing just that line worked for me.

Yeah it worked.
I found also that ‘7igma’ in the file and renamed all occurrance to “FineDigiClock”
@zuMi I hope it’s no problem
Then I just move to Shelf with a decent icon ;-p
I saw localization and translate in the text file - had you created a catalog file I can translate with Yab localizer to Hungarian ?
As I promised ..
I’m BACK !!
Finally it works the dimming and enlighting the display on my laptop.
asI replaced the [Fn] key to [Win] key that is the [Opt]ion key – after MadMax confirmed it : that matches with on a PC keyboard.
As Left (side) was not accepted somehow, I selected Any (side) to see : does it work this way ? Worked.
This way it works from the wireless keyboard too !
(Funny note : I launched a Desktop record and dimmed and enlighted the display .. Ha-ha , I’m a really 1 bit guy sometimes !!!
It had not altered the record at all regarding brightness, it happened only for me !! Haha ! 
Moreover I waited the 520 frame rendered from memory to the target .MP4 that lasted about a few mins after I finished recording. And then I played, and then falled down the 2 cents : it was recorded, but the important dimming and stepping back were missing from the record.Then I think it over.
I should have used an external video camera to record it - which I have no actually !
So, you must be satisfied with my written report : it works now ! ;.p )
None, I’m happy you’re enjoying it
Somewhere in that folder should be a catalog, I’ll check later

xtn.sh - Easy and fast file sharing from the command-line. once you edited, pls use Hum’s catkeystest.sh frome here: Testing translations without compiling an app
I was checking the code , a lot of time passed since the last time i edited it, and I found there were also the chance to have custom colors , just type ‘addattr _app/csv_colors 000000,ffffff /boot/home/config/
settings/zuMi/7igma’ on your terminal for a white on black clock, or 202020,ff3300 orange on dark screen… there are also a bunch of lines about window management (move to edges or adjacent workspace) that could be epurated
