Show full path in current item name bar
To show the full path of the item currently under the cursor, check this box.
This shows you which disk the item is on and where on the disk it is located.
Show dock name in title bar
To show the name of this dock in the window title bar, check this box.
Dock items are buttons
To make the dock items behave as buttons, check this box.
When this is checked, single-clicking an item will open it and you will not be able to drag it.
Use single-click to open items
To use a single-click instead of a double-click to open items in this dock, check this box.
To select items with this option on, hold down the Shift key and click them.
Use full square for clicking and dragging
To make the whole of the item square sensitive to clicking and dragging rather than just the icon, check this box.
This is useful in combination with the 'use single-click' option above for fast and easy clicking.
Minimise in background
To automatically minimise this dock when DragThing is put into the background, check this box.
When this dock is floating, this option also minimises the dock when you open something that would normally cause DragThing to be put into the background.
Maximise in foreground
To automatically maximise this dock when DragThing is brought into the foreground, check this box.
Draw icon in minimised dock
To draw an icon in the minimised dock, rather than the name, check this box.

Hide shadow
To not draw the shadow for the window of this dock, check this box.
Allow clicks and drags on transparent areas
To catch clicks and drags which would normally fall through the transparent areas of this dock, check this box.
Show icon count at the end of item names
To show the count displayed on appication icons in this Dock behind their name, check this box.
This is useful for applications which DragThing can display the number of unread messages for, like Apple Mail. If you normally have the icons hidden, this will let you still see the number.
Show version at the end of item names
To show the version number of the application items in this Dock behind their name, check this box.
The version will be appended to the name displayed in the item's slot as well as in Tool Tips.
The version of application items can also be shown on item icons (see below) or in the name bar of docks by switching on the "Show version" option in the Appearance section of the Preferences Window.
Show hot keys at the end of item names
To show any hot keys set for items behind their name, check this box.
To show the version number of the application items in this Dock as a 'badge' on item's icon, check this box.
The version badge will only be displayed if the icon is large enough and the version string short enough, given the available space.
The version of application items can also be shown at the end of item names (see above) or in the name bar of docks by switching on the "Show version" option in the Appearance section of the Prefenences Window.
Show hot keys on item icons
To show any hot keys set for items on their icon, check this box.
The hot key will only be displayed if the icon is large enough. Only the first hot key will be shown.
Show icon preview
To show live previews for documents, check this box.
Only available on Mac OS X 10.5 and later.
Lock position
To stop the dock from being moved, check this box.
This will prevent you from dragging the dock, and will also make sure that any movement caused by changing resolutions or adding or removing screens is not saved.
After opening item
To set an action to be performed when any item in this dock is opened, choose it from the popup menu.
Layer transition
To set an transition effect to be performed when you switch between layers of this dock, choose one from the popup menu.
Transition quality
To set the quality of layer transitions, choose a value from the popup menu.
If the transitions are a little choppy on your Mac, try decreasing the quality.
Transition direction
To set the direction of layer transitions, choose a value from the popup menu.
When the setting is "Automatic", changing layer from a lower numbered layer to a higher numbered one, will run the transition forwards, and a higher to lower layer will run the transition backwards. This makes the most sense with transitions that scroll in the layer contents, like the "Horizontal Push".
Transition speed
To set the speed of layer transitions, drag this slider.
Locking
To prevent further changes to this dock, click the lock button until it shows a closed padlock icon. To make changes, click it again until it shows an open padlock icon.
Navigation
To switch to the Dock Options windows for the other docks, click the arrow buttons to navigate between them.
