Description
It's a launcher for Rainmeter( you just must replace, in the .ini, the word "path", by the real path of the application that you wan to use!!)---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Exemple:
[Icon1]
Meter=IMAGE
X=133
Y=114
ImageName=compass.png
LeftMouseDownAction=!Execute ["C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"]
AntiAlias=1
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So it's not really a dock, you can put it where you want!!
THX to ~omercetin for his marvellous Pixelophilia icons( you can find those icons( 110) in my skin!!) and *artbees for his total look dock!!
You can help me!
btw: if the icon is too smaller to select it: like a pen: put: SolidColor=0,0,0,1 in his section!!

Edit the .ini and change the icons in library/doc/rainmeter/shelf launcher
You can't add some programs cause you can't change the size of the dock!

Very Nice work and it's working like a charm for me in the bottom right corner of my laptop! I merely just pasted the desired .png files in the "Shelf Launcher" Rain Meter skins folder {located in C:\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\Shelf Launcher} where the others were located (not in "Icons") then just re-sized each of em to 32x32 pixels and added the related object path to each according pathway associated with the specific image name and I must point out that the .exe paths once applied are very snappy at launching {instantly, no delay} when clicked even more so then my Rocket dock applications shortcut links! Just wish I could increase the size of the container "shelf" without distorting the graphics of it in the process (Is it that the dimensions that you've so cleverly adapted to Rainmeter skin container were originally meant for mobile devices with it's current dimensions so small or is there a way to increase the container size to adjust it to fit the individual spec's of my laptop [1366x768] in order to add more applications to it possibly?) Even if there's not, thank you for all your hard work and a final product regardless, however small it be!

no, all you change is the space between the icons!

I found the more you dock the wider it (the shelf) gets!

It's not my fault, the path must not be the right!!
I havent iTunes so i cant test it, but you're the first who have a problem, so...!
Try to go on the iTunes.exe( on startmenu per ex), do a right click/propriety/security/and copy the path that you see!!
Or try to just put LeftMouseDownAction=!Execute ["iTunes.exe"]

i know its not ur fault,and also thats i am the only one with this problem... i tried everything, and to be honest, there is no path that is working. i guess i do something wrong, but i dunno what thats why i was writing to u. i tried many programs with copying the path from the start menu icon, the way u write me, and nothing worked. can u give me some advise. tomorrow i will post some shots, and u will se that the path is correct, and then maybe u can help me...
