New features are also better discussed among the users of the software program and the programmer himself.

A dedicated section of the forums on Aqua-Soft, an online community of skinning enthusiasts dedicated to emulating the look and feel of Mac OS X Leopard, is used by users of the software to report bugs or request for new software features directly to the programmer, cutting any red tape in the way. Unlike most other software programs of its kind, AveDesk is heavily community driven.

Enter the information as shown in the image below.AveDesk is a freeware (although it is touted as ' Donationware', which means the software is solely donation-supported in terms of financing) widget engine for Windows XP that runs small, self-contained widgets called 'desklets', as well as ObjectDock 'docklets' (small plugins intended for use by ObjectDock and other similar programs), and is created by Andreas Verhoeven, a freelance software programmer. To autostart Cairo dock everytime you logged in to your computer, go to “System -> Preferences -> Sessions”.Ĭlick “Add”. In the “System” tab, untick the option to drawn reflects in real time, and decrease the refresh frequency (don’t go under 20Hz, it might have the opposite effect).

If you are using applets that required to be refreshed regularly (such as the clock, RAM meter etc), reduce the refreshing rate of the app.

– configure the dock to show only on current desktop (configurable in the “Taskbar” tab). If you really want to have so many icons on your dock, then make sure you:

Reduce the number of icons into your dock.

In the “System” tab, under the “Label” section, make sure that the “Show label of the currently pointed icon only” is checked.

However here are some tweaks that you might want to use if your dock is running very slowly. I will leave it to you to explore the configuration options and customize the dock to your own liking. You should now see more options/tabs appear on the sidebar. On the left bottom of the menu, click on the Advanced button to go into Advanced mode. The default menu is the simple mode and have only few configuration options. To access the configuration menu, simply right-click the mouse at the dock and select “Cario-Dock –> Configure”. Under the name of the container it belongs to, select the name of the sub-dock that you want to add to. Right-click the application icon and select “Modify this launcher”. To add applications into the sub-dock, first add the application to the main dock. Under the Extra Parameters field, pick the view that you want your sub-dock to display. Your sub-dock does not have to display the same way as the main dock. Right-click on the dock and select “Add a sub-dock.” This is a good feature for you to arrange similar application into a single category so that the dock won’t be too messy. Adding a Sub-dockĬairo dock also allows you to add sub-dock. You should see your favorite application on the dock now. To add applications to the dock, on the main menu at the top panel, navigate to your favorite app. To remove any application on the dock, simply right-click at the particular icon and select Remove this launcher.

There might be some applications that you have no use for, or missing applications that you want them to be on the dock. Adding/removing applications to the Cairo dockĪs I mentioned earlier, each theme comes with its own set of icons and launchers.
