Which is the best Dock?

[dinesh]

Hi guys, i was looking at this thread http://www.vistax64.com/general-discussion/166472-post-your-desktops-new-post.html and i saw that many people have stylish dock at the bottom with lots of icon(Mac style). I just wanted to know if there's any other dock application available except About RocketDock - RocketDock.com?

 

[smarteyeball]

The free one works well: - similar to Rocketdock
Stardock ObjectDock

It's the Circle One: - has a few minor issues, but works quite well:
Circle Dock: The Open Source Circular and Spiral Dock for Windows

Standalone Stack:
Chris'n'Soft » StandaloneStack

 

[dinesh]

So which one would you prefer?

 

[Martee]

I'm late. But look at more goodies from stardock, including ObjectDock that already Smarteyeball mentioned about. Stardock.com - Your Edge In Software

Cheers...

I also like the 4way 3D feel using update.docs.kr :: www.docs.kr

I've found rocketdock to be the most stable out of them all.

Circle dock is good in the fact that you can set it to appear wherever you want on the screen with a click.

Oh thats nice. i will go home and will try all of them and will keep the one i like the most. Thanks.

Yeah, I'll second what SmartEyeBall says about RocketDock ...

even though they mention on their website that the program is not 64-bit compatible, I have found it to be completely stable, issue-free and is the most attractive with a wonderful and comprehensive selection of Skins, Icons, and Wallpapers in their 'Get Addons' link.

Dinesh, good luck and let your creative juices flow freely!!!

Sure i will. The dock style is always a good way to keep your desktop clean with icons arranged.

I still prefer Gizmo. It's a bit different but you can have several docks running and customize them in many different ways.

Well I installed the Stardock one last night, the free version, but haven't had time to sort it out yet.
I know I didn't want it's email icon because that brought up Windows Mail and I use as default Windows Live Mail and haven't found out yet how to change it, I've got a lot of playing to do but keep getting distracted by daughter bringing grandson around plus links to Tech Support horror stories

Nice distractions then I love it when the kids visit.

If I was to get Stardock (which I won't) would that be keeping up with the Joanses??

Pooch

To quote an old friend

"Pooch its not very often that you do things right............But you've done it wrong again"
