I used the THX sound for dock activation and thunder for the icon click.Very dramatic! .How do I set it to load at boot?

.Andreas I have a new idea for you,dont know if its possible,...I would like to make the dock transparent until activated(see thru),possibly be able to set transparency level and duration of fade in and out.This is probably something for Stardock to add but wouldnt that be cool.

.Your too cool(and fast)

Well, I'd say go for it then! Mp3 would be sweet. I have some cool ones too.

Game cd's are another good source of sound files


I'd for gotten about that! Good idea.

Hey, guys... I was wondering isn't there a proggy called Sound Edit that helps you edit sounds?

Also, aren't there some proggies that make sounds for you?

I was personally looking at some DJ stuff to make some party mix tapes for myself and to do some sond production on the side. If I get it I would be more than happy to make some sounds to put into some of the skins here!

But that's a long way off; maybe citezen DJ has some stuff we can use.

UPDATE:

http://home.hccnet.nl/averhoev.2/DOCKSOUNDER.zip

version 1.3:
-> Added MP3 support (it supports virtually any type of audio/video file, even AVI's )
-> Made it a bit faster by changing the mousehook.dll structure.

Enjoy.

Tell me something more (what's activated for example?). I think it would be possible, my only concern is the GDI+ drawing thingies (the Dock is not a regular window).

transparent til you mouse into it.

IR: tried something already, dock was transparant but not redrawn. Need to hack around some more I guess.

ptrcstn: Better no default sounds due to copyright and yadda yadda things

Tweaked the THX down to 10 seconds from 28.The new version plays mp3's fine but when I click an icon the mouseover sound is interupted then starts over.Before the would play simultaneously which was cool.THX then a thunder clap while the THX was finishing up was cool.For some reason ,it is replaying the dock sound after you click an icon.
.Coming along nicely tho.

Oops will fix that immediately.

Its acting a little better ,but the click sound is still interupting the dock mouseover sound.
Reply #46 Top
Probably because I'm using a 10 second dock sound.
Reply #47 Top
fixed it now, same link
OnClick sound can be played simultaneosly (hard word, it's late here) with the dock enter/leave sound.
