Suggestion for next version of OD

Add sub-skins

I've downloaded quite a few skins (backgrounds) for my OD and the list is becoming very large. Would it be possible to include a sort of sub-skins for the OD? It could be done similar to how Rainlendar works - each skin folder can contain several ini files, and if there are more than 1 then each file is a sub-skin as it were. In rainlendar sub-skins are usually used to create different language versions or more compact (mini) calendars, or horisontal calendars, stuff like that. Here it could be used for different colored versions of skins (like the LaST skins that come with OD), or different style (like some aero backgrounds have glass only version and "carbon+glass" version, etc.). Having the skins organized that way will also make it easier to include skins section in the right-click menu (also something I'd like to see), because it would replace the long list of backgrounds with a shorter list and sub-menus.

thought id piggyback on this post.

OD+
Id love to see more than one color applyd to a dock or tabbed dock, currently you can only apply one shade of color, this isn't to exciting, and it also limits the artists ability in creating the dock to only use colors that take well. (especially for tabbed docks were you have one color per tab.)

An example would be to have 2 colors that create shading styles or variants, or patterns. or different masks. (Even two colors would provide a much bigger selection).


cheers

Ok this is my new wish-list page/

RE: Reserving edge of tabbed dock starting at the dock itself, not including the tabs.

OD+ is reserving the edge of the screen from where tabs end. When i want it to reserve from just the dock itself, not including the tabs. That way i wont have all that waisted area of the screen just for tabs.
