Mac Like Dock using WPF

15 08 2007

Thanks to Lee for his excellent post on Mac OS X Dock in WPF 🙂

I was able to get the logic on how to implement the Mac OS style and I have succeeded in bringing the reflection down

Below is a screenshot

I have to implement a “real” dock yet, but this forms a good base and prototype 🙂

I am planning to make this as a user control where one would be able to add buttons(which may be images) and add events for the respective buttons.

If you think you could help, do leave a comment 🙂 . Currently I dont have any place where I could put my source up, but will update once I host it somewhere.

Well try to see if you can make the background of the app completely transparent similar to the Windows Mobility Center or the Dashboard Gallery windows.

Oh my goodness! Incredible article dude! Thank you so much,
However I am going through problems with your RSS. I don’t know the reason why I cannot subscribe to it.
Is there anyone else having similar RSS problems?

Anyone who knows the solution will you kindly respond? Thanks!!
