Using Xion beside Object Dock

This is kinda random, but for object dock users, a small icon-looking xion skin can fit right in beside an object dock which makes for even less space used up on your desktop. The CD here is one i made. The text only appears when the CD is clicked on. Just a thought! :)

If you dont have object dock and are interested... here's a link.

Clever. Does the CD grow when you mouse-over it? That would be cool :)

Kev-O - great idea. I use ObjectDock. Perhaps an actual icon on the dock, like a SysStats controller or an actual Xion docklet? I'm only saying this because Scarebear brought up a good point - unless you have the dock magnification disabled, the dock icons may over/underlap the skin.

Yup, I had to disable magnification. If someone could figure out how to make a xion docklet, that would be awesome. It's beyond my skills though!

Looks nice. I don't use ObjectDock as it seems to suck up memory on my machine and ends up annoying me. I was tempted by the new Winstep Xtreme suite as it seemed very stable, but I only really wanted NeXuS from it so I didn't bother. I'm currently using AveDesk, low resource usage and fun to play with. And it supports docklets and SysStats.

I find Xion fits nicely with any desktop once you choose the right skin. I can't see the point of a Xion docklet unless it adds to the functionality. Whats the point of running Xion if you can't see it?
