@AMIGASYSTEM: sorry, I didn't reply to your PM yet. You can now change the icon size and use a custom-shaped platter

Perfect Thomas, with the translation I didn't understand that you had to add those parameters in the Tooltype, thanks for your help.
It would be nice to be able to remove the text under icons in AmiDock Style and ToolManager, and always on ToolManager the possibility to insert a skin Last edited by AMIGASYSTEM; 08 May 2020 at 09:22. |

What OS are you using? You can copy and run from the folder wherever you want.
Look at the vido, I run the unpacked folder on the fly on a WB 3.0 https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Hs...DdkFuamQ7dAJfb |

Ah, I see. I use 3.1.4.1 with BestWB, and on BestWB it seems like WBDock is in Tools/Commodoties, but I'm not sure where the other files are located, and then moved into WBStartup if you want to autostart it.

Thank you Thomas for answering my request, everything works well also on ArosOne 68k. Is it planned to start the text also on "MagicWB Style" ?

I'm impressed enough to have replaced AmiDock with WBDock2. This is the MWB configuration. The "dockies" are very nice. Here, showing the dock clock. I really like the way larger icons fill the space. It (very sort of) reminds me of the dock in Coffin OS.

Thomas - I have a bug report to file regarding the CPU usage on WBDock vs. AmiDock which I had to switch back to. Can I send it to you here or on your page? I didn't want to file it here in public. Great app but 2.255 is causing some unwanted behaviors in OS 3.9. Thanks!

Unfortunately on my Bench, WBDock2 runs hot regardless of style employed. I've gone back to AmiDock in the interim. I have no doubt the issue will be resolved.
