Video Demo

I’ve also added some screenshots below to an example of Stack 2.2 with a theme applied.

UPDATE: The developer has posted on his Twitter account that “Stack deletion possibility in v3″. I’ve added the screenshot below.

“I have to work extra hard as it is on creating things for the App Store, but when people like paniK go ahead and make my software available to pirates and I watch sales vanish overnight, it means I have to spend much more time on marketing and development for my App Store apps to try and offset my losses, leaving no time for projects like Stack that earn me nothing.”

Thanks to Mark for the tip.

Stack 2.2 comes with some great new features. First, you can reposition the stack on the dock by dragging it around. I’m excited about this one because I’ll be able to fit 5 icons on my dock. All you do is drag the stack where you want it and tap anywhere on the main screen to confirm. Other features include themeable grid view, and removal prompt. The ETA hasn’t been released yet but make sure to follow the developer (@stroughtonsmith) for release information. Check out the video below and make sure to leave comments here or on Steve’s blog on what you think!

I love this app! Stack brings the stack feature from Leopard to your iPhone. If you’ve never heard of Stack, it’s basically a stack of icons in your dock that when tapped, it opens a group of apps. The new features are pretty nice. You can now choose to have your stack in the middle or the bottom right. The center option works well with a 5 icon dock. Just get a blank icon and put it where your stack is. That way the other icons will line up right.

To access the program’s setting you need to go to your Settings app. This is new in this version. If you make changes to its position you’ll have to respring to see the effect (I use SBSettings for that). You can also force the grid view & toggle the stack to be curved or straight although these features aren’t new.

Other features include bug fixes and better appearance. Also the Calendar app works properly showing the date on the icon. If you’re iPhone is jailbroke you should check out this App, I really like it. And don’t forget, the easiest feature is adding or removing icons, just drag and drop!

Happy Monday!! It seems there have been a few apps added to Cydia over the week-end but, lets start with Stack. We have know for a little while now that the developer of Stack was getting close to a release and it seems it has finally arrived!

Stack is an application that will stack applications on the lower right of your iPhone screen. When you tap the stack, it will display the apps (think Leopard). You can then select the Settings icon (when the stack is out) and it will give you a few options. The Settings option includes the ability to turn on a curved stack or grid stack (see screenshots below). I actually really like the grid option but, I had an issue with getting into the Settings while using the grid option. I don’t know if you experienced they same thing or not, but it was basically impossible to get back into the Settings!! I was able to get into the Settings by removing a few of the icons from my Dock.

Stack comes stock with the Contacts, Weather and Settings apps. You can add more applications to the stack my just dragging them onto the stack. If you have more than five apps in the stack, it will automatically use grid mode. To remove an app from the stack, just drag it off. The only thing that I found to be an issue is that in order to have Stack work absolutely perfectly, you will want only two icons in your Dock. You can have three or four but three will make it overlap slightly and four will put an icon behind Stack which makes it difficult to launch that application. Also, when you add an application to Stack it does not remove that app from your SpringBoard so, you will want to use Poof to hide that app on your SpringBoard. Overall, the app is super easy to use and works great! I had no issues with glitching, adding, removing and launching an app using Stack.

Note: Doug discovered that if you would like three icons in your Dock and have Stack line-up correctly, you can add a blank icon as your forth icon in your Dock. It looks a lot nicer and allows for three icons in the Dock instead of just two. You can download blank icons via Cydia. The title of the package is Blank 1 (there are more if you would like more than once blank icon). You can get them through the Steffwiz source.
