- The manual confused me at first but once you see how it's done everything in
- the manual becomes clear. Hope this helps you
-
- We'll set up a dock with one utility on it to show you how to do it.
-
-
- Start the toolsprefs program
- In "Exec" select new, drop the utility's icon onto the new window
- Give the utility an OBJECT name, this can be anything you like
- Click on OK
-
-
- Cycle through to Image, click on new
- Choose the icon, brush, animbrush that you want to use with the requestor
- Again give this an OBJECT name (it's probably a good idea to call it the same
- as the utility)
-
-
- Cycle through to Dock, click on new
- Click on the "Edit Tools List.." button.
- In the next window, click on new
- Click the "Exec Object" button and select the utility object
- Click on the "Image Object" button and select the image object
- Click on Ok
- Click on Ok again
-
-
- If you trust yourself that it works click on Save, otherwise click on Test or
- Use. Test keeps the TM Prefs window open, Use closes the window but doesn't
- save the changes you've made.
-
- Assuming that this works you should have some idea of how to add more files to
- the dock. You can have more than one dock active as well. I have three docks
- configured, each with various related files on it.
