What is sDock?

sDock is an extra dock in Godot Editor

(tested with 3.2.1, 3.2.2, 3.2.3).

It helps you to format controls in a user-friendly way.
Its name comes from "super dock" but it also refers to "standard dock" - I think this kind of tool could be a standard part of the Editor.

How to use sDock
Godot handles addons by project level.
Thus, to use sDock, you need to add it to each of your project.

Adding sDock to your project is really simple.
1) Exit from Godot Editor
2) If you don't have 'addons' folder in your project folder, create it
3) Copy 'sDock' folder (with all its content) into your project's 'addons' folder
4) Open your project with Godot Editor
5) In Project settings: add "pp.gd" from sDock folder to Autoload list. Modify 'Node Name' to 'pp' (and not Pp)
6) In Project settings: enable sDock plugin.
7) Restart Godot Editor

sDock looks best with Godot Light Theme.

sDock will load and adds some autoload files to your project (pp, staticFn, defs)
You don't need to do anything with them.
Next time sDock will automatically open when you open your project.

Removing sDock from your project
1) In Project settings: uncheck sDock plugin 

2) In Project settings: delete all sDock related autoloads (pp, staticFn, defs)
3) Exit Godot
4) Delete sDock folder from your project's addons folder.

IMPORTANT! If you had used sDock to format any object in your project, be careful when removing it. You will very probably need at least the font folder to keep with the default tres file and the used font files!

sDock Controls
Supported controls are listed in defs.gd file / 'object' function.

You can manually add new controls, just add a line into object() function.
Just follow the scheme of already listed controls.

Complex controls may works in an unexpected way when modify them with sDock.

In v1.0 the following controls are fully or partly supported.

Button
CheckBox
CheckButton
HSlider
ItemList
Label
LineEdit
OptionButton
Panel
ScrollContainer
SpinBox
TextEdit

Important note
sDock changes the project's default font to 'sDock_default_font.tres'

You can set default font type, size etc. in this file.
If you have many objects using specific themes in your project, consider NOT to use sDock in that project.
