History

The idea of DockingFrames was born in the year 2001. A first prototype was written and functioned more or less. But then other projects seemed to be more important, and DockingFrames was forgotten.
Then in 2005 a restart was launched, and this time the project was a success.
The project was secretly developt for one and a half year, until it was ready to be presented.

These people have helped to improve DockingFrames:

  By finding bugs I didn't imagine that they even could exist, by asking for features I considered nonsense, by writing the first StackDockComponent, and by having a critical question for every change I made.
  By writing the initial version of the EclipseTheme.
  
  
• Ivan Seidl
  By helping me understand, how hard it is to get into DockingFrames without proper tutorials or guides. By contributing a new set of icons for the BubbleTheme.
