DockTool v0.07 - Freeware
========================================================================================

Description:
============

You can use this program for a easy operating with the different DockBars for example
ObjectDock, MobyDock or Yz Dock. Often the Docks are hindering, because they pop up,
when you are playing a 3D game. You can use this program to close the DockBar, start a
program or game what you want and after you close the application the DockBar will be
restarted. The DockTool can also change the resolution or shut down windows.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Install:
========

1. copy the files DockTool.ini and DockTool.exe into the directory where the Dock-EXE
   are located, for example C:\Program files\Yz Dock\...
2. Write the filename from the Dock into the DockTool.ini, for example MobyDock.exe or
   ObjectDock.exe
3. the useage of the DockTool is very easy: 
   replace the link of your application with path and filename of DockTool.exe and it
   will be surrender with command line of     the real program. But see to it that you
   write the filename of the program with quotation marks ("). If you want to surrender
   himself (game or program) a command line parameter, you also have to write it with
   quotation marks.

for example, so looks a call for the game XYZ with the parameters [-cheat -window] 

   instrad till now

Link     : D:\Games\XYZ.exe
agruments: -cheat -windows

   then so

Link     : DockTool.exe
arguments: /screen800x600@0-0 "D:\Games\XYZ.exe" "-cheat -window"


At this example the resolution is put on 800x600, the DockBar will closed, the game will
be started and after you close the game the DockBar will be restarted.

special command line arguments:
===============================

The parameters have to be entert one by one and they cant be combine with filenames
and/or other parameters.

except the paramter /screen and /close&run, they can be used when you will start
the program.

/start        - starts the DockBar when she hasn't started yet
/close        - closed the DockBar and terminate himself
/close&run    - closed the DockBar and execute a program or game and show a dialog
                to start the DockBar again...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/screen       - change the resolution, choice wise before starting one program or
                temporary (at the same time)

                To change the resolution before starting a application change the first
                command at "arguments" enter this /screen?x?@?-? the question marks
                stand for "wide"x"height"@"color depth"-"frequency"

                Color depths: 4,8, 16, 24, or 32 bits. 
                If instead of a question mark a 0 is entered the current value will be
                used. After ending the program or game the current resolution/color
                depth/frequency will be switch back automaticaly.

                When only the parameter for the resolution, without any other program,
                is indicate the resolution will be change and  a indication is shown.
                The resolution remains as long as changed, till you click at the
