The application is also available in a portable archive.

Each dock minimizes to the tray independently. Multiple docks are supported, and since they are floating panels, you can place them where you want to. And speaking of menus, you can create custom ones, but you'll need to place the nodes inside (EXEs, Folders, URLs, etc). Note: You can right-click icons on the dock to access the Explorer context-menu options and execute them.Īdding folders is quite similar and these folders open like menus, i.e., they display the contents of the directory. What about dragging and dropping shortcuts on the dock interface? That works as well. The drag and drop method adds the application's icon, path, name, etc automatically, so you should consider using this if you want to speed up the process. Use either option and it will add the shortcut to the dock. It will prompt you to copy the shortcut properties or create a link to the shortcut. Want to do that in a single click? Drag and drop a shortcut or an EXE, to the LaunchBar Commander interface (over the dock's name). For applications add the word '%file%' in the argument box.

There is a 'Command path' box in the pane below, browse for the EXE or folder that you wanted to add. A new command is created, rename the caption, and set an icon (paste the icon's path) or use one of the built-in icons. You can even choose a custom background should you not like the ones that LaunchBar Commander ships with. Next, choose the background you want, set its color and transparency. You can also set the dock to autohide, autoslide or reserve a space for it. Select a display style for the icons, menu, and border (optional).
