DU: any way to supress AppIcon in AmiDock?

@BillE

i noticed recently that when i have DU in the background and switch screens back to workbench that there is a DU icon showing in my main amidock. is there any way to turn that feature off? i looked through the included amigaguide files, but didn't find it. apologies in advance if the answer is already in the documentation and i couldn't find it.

DU does create an AppIcon, at the moment there is no way to disable it. I can add this as a feature request for v1.8.

BTW. As quite a few applications show an appicon when running, I find it better to put all programme appicons in a different amidock. I too do not like appicons appearing in the main dock.

I created a new dock, and called it Apps (any name will do) then in the AmiDock preferences choose the new dock in the gadget next to "Place AppDockies in:".

It will not get rid of the DU appicon in v1.7 but will at least keep it (and other appicons) out of your main dock.

@BillE

thanks for the tip! i'll try creating one for that purpose.

Another thing you can do is make the dock hidden and set a hotkey to show/hide it which gets rid of all those pesky dockies until you want them or to make sure it has a titlebar and is minimizeable. Then double click the titlebar to shrink the dock before saving your prefs.
