« on: October 10, 2005, 08:55:01 AM »
Hey!

I have seen a few screenshots with transperent startbars looking awsome, where can I get those?

Try AmiStart taskbar, it's very powerfull! It doesn't include mac style gfx, however if you have some mac patterns you can configure AmiStart to look like a mac...

With regards to magnifying dock icons, I think mac has patented this "idea" so nobody else could clone it :(

Can I get rid of the ugly arrow on the left side of amidock? If so that's about what I'm looking for.. But it would be nice if it had a transperent background as well..

Running Windows one can always use AquaDock which in a rather flawless way imitates the Mac dito.

Running Classic AMiGA I think that it would be extremely slow using a startbar with transparency that also supports magnifying the icons when held over. A pre-rendered solution would probably work, but then it would instead consume some hefty amount of memory (running a GFX-card that would probably not be an issue, but anyways).

That above is AmiDock for OS4 where you don't have to have that ugly arrow on either side of your startbar. Don't think that is possible with 68k AmiDock though.
