The beta begins this month…really!
This is way cool.
Very clean man. That is one of the best configuration forms I've seen in a long while.
I love how you can move the tabs around like that. SWEET!

I don't use it and I'm drooling!!
looking great Brad, hopefully the reflection positioning and opacity is adjustable, or not finished yet.. looks off atm.
would be good
Very nice Frogman.
Looks awesome Brad!
A very nice demo and I have to say that it would appear the wait for 2.0 will be justified.
I've been running it here for a while now...and the reflections look fine...
OD2 finally convinced me to not have quite so many desktop icons all over .....the desktop, with or without Fences...
I don't have my copy yet.....you must be using the masterbeta.....
Not even close... they dont. far too opaque and not lining up correctly vertically or perspectively, at least in this video. How is a reflection going to be higher than what is being reflected... and the opacity..well... ... its a reflection but looks more like another icon, upside down, underneath.. just is way too strong imho. It should also get more translucent as it moves away from the icon for a better look. try using your trained eye Paul
Anyway, I assume you all want feedback... thats mine. The rest looks fabulous.
I love the tabs how you can drag them around. I hope you can have the text of the tab (game, etc) on the bottom also like we do now instead of just the top.
I like the apple dock flat look. I think it looks better then my friends mac. Did you add any more themes to 2.0?
Much improved...and I'll bet we aren't seeing all the features.
oOOOOOOoooooo.
John....as someone who can generate a perspective with a tee square and set-square...and has done so professionally since 1972 I know 'all' about perspective, sciagraphy and reflection planes, so when I say the reflections look fine I mean they can be demonstrated/explained/reproduced as accurate by mathematical argument - assuming viewpoint.
In other words they are fine....
As for 'opaque'...are we presuming indices of refraction are what.....only acceptable if the conform to one person's criterium?
Perhaps what you mean is...it'd be nice if people could mess with how any such reflections are 'handled'.
If they are not to be adjustable that still will not make them 'wrong'...
Is the reflection on the magnifying glass in the video correct? Is it possible, in the real world, for the bottom of the handle to reflect above the bottom of the actual icon? That seems a bit off. I can't do this though:
so I may be off in the head...but that doesn't look right to me either.
Pretty-well anything is possible...particularly if/when the PP is penetrated...
yep, just my humble opinion. SD is free to disregard. would just look better..to me and maybe a few others.. if they didn't.
none of that talk here.
Yeah, thanks.. my toenails just curled under..
Sorry Jafo...I disagree...the reflections as they show in the video are impossible. A reflection cant be behind or higher than the reflected object. It CAN be lower...if the object is floating...that would at least look realistic.
I hope the "new and improved" coloring function works much like the one in Windowblinds so we can more accurately recolor the docks to match the blinds. As it is right now in 1.9, it recolors the whole thing to one color, whether the original dock bg was a multi-hue gradient or not (ie not smart coloring).
