OK I didnt sleep last night, and I am probably rushing this release, so I will take a twig out of West's nest and pronounce:

This theme is crap dont download it.
If you do download it I hope it works :)

its still very buggy! buggy buggy buggy! (scared off yet?)

On with the readme:

//// LaserDock by fractal.design (fractal.design@gmail.com)


//// LaserDock is a unique, minimal, stylish and fresh theme.
I started writing it to develop the explorer-like drag'n'snap bar layout moving for LS.
It ended pretty messy :D
Well, the code is still as messy as previous versions, but usability is improved IMO.


//// The hotkey's:
ALT `
WIN TAB
CTRL ESCAPE
CTRL TAB
and a left click on the desktop,
will all toggle the floating box (!MoveToMouse)
if the box is snapped to any side they will do nothing.
these are all set in theme.rc


//// Drag the box by the time label on the left.


//// Snap by dragging the box near a screen edge, it will be "magnetised" to the edge,
when it is positioned on the edge (side, not the corners which are basically 2 sides), release the mouse button.
There will be some delay (depending on your computer speed) before the box actuates itself on that edge.



///////////////////////////////////////////////////// History

////// LaserDock-1.4

This version is OTS2 compatible (NOT compliant!) :) it requires you manually install all the xModules :P

You will need the 0.24.7 core available here: www.lsdev.org /download.php?view.53

To install the xModules/xPaintclass:
1. Copy "xPaintclass.dll" from "LaserDock-1.4\xPaintClass_xModules_0707\" to "$LitestepDir$" (where litestep.exe is)
2. Copy the other ".dll" files from "LaserDock-1.4\xPaintClass_xModules_0707\" to "$ModulesDir$" (usually "C:\Litestep\Modules\")
3. Restart Litestep (!quit or kill litestep.exe, then run it again)

Please install the font

Although all the components are now working better than ever, they are still not 100% finished! Remember this when your LS crashes because of me! :P

Warning: Use the wallpaper component only at your CPU/RAM's peril!!!

Fixed: //// UnSnapping the box does not work well if Autohide is on. Using !Recycle for snapdocking.
Fixed: Snapping bugginess. !Recycle works like a charm ;)
I dont reload, or labelrefresh or any of those new-age type ways of instituting change.
They were just to buggy, and slower than actually !recycling, so yeah.
I will get around to streamlining it somehow (probably via lslua), but for now it works better than ever.
Updated: xModules.
Updated: All components. They are all working famously now, though reminder still has some kinks
Added: New component QuickLaunch
Added: Support for components to be "inbar" and also "inbarend" see Config\Components\Components.rc for obscure placement info.
Added but buggy: 2 taskbar line support (just dont have only 1 task! :P)
