## Styling

BDock was using styles inside settings, which was worser. Now it's in it's own file and more customizeable.

## Multitasking

Normally BDock wasn't even supposed to show running apps and was added later on. It was buggy...

### Icons

If explaination at the table was too complicated, this would be more complicated so...

# Thats not enough, show me more!

# How can I compile myself?

* Download the [/App](https://github.com/HAKANKOKCU/OrangemiumDock/tree/main/App) directory if you can't use Git, or just clone this repo and open the sln file at /App. Using dotnet CLI or Visual Studio should work fine.
