Subentry of
NVIDIA Dock
Thu6Sep2007
This application has gotten a lot more attention than I actually expected. The future plans for this application include allowing the application to do the configuration work from the menus without needing to use the nvidia-settings control panel directly. I only have Weekends to work on it, so It will take some time.
However this update adds several new features that did not exist before.
nvDock will automatically reload and apply the NVIDIA settings upon the current X session. Most users will probably not notice this, and some may even want to drop this in their window manager startup routine to load the display options automatically. There is a command line option to disable this, --no-load.
The menu also has neat icons on it now (actually they are stock icons defined by your current GTK2 icon set). If you preferred the menu without icons then the command line option --simple-menu will get rid of them.
If NVClock is installed, there is a menu item now to launch it. I should not have to warn you, but be careful when using that program. Every time I fuss with my GPU and RAM speeds, it ends up crashing my PC in an awesome rainbow of yellow and pink gibberish. I have nothing to do with NVClock so do not ask me about using it, I have no idea myself.
