Upgrading From Circle Dock 0.9.2 Alpha 7 to a Newer Alpha 8
 |
The procedure for upgrading to a newer Circle Dock version has changed. The recommended way is shown in the screenshot above:
(1) Ensure that Circle Dock is not currently running.
(2) Then, simply go into your old Circle Dock directory and go into "System" folder.
(3) Copy the entire contents of the "Settings" folder into the new Circle Dock folder that has Alpha 8. This will import all your old settings into Alpha 8 and Circle Dock will make any necessary changes to the files in the "Settings" folder.
You may also want to copy over your "Background" and "Icons" directories if you have custom items in there.
