The dock in a mac is a beautiful thing that is a real envy for any windows users. Of course there is the quick launch toolbar, but there is no bumping and the coolness in it. Most people use this quick launch toolbar, and it is accessible any time, but it is attached to the task bar. Unless the taskbar is set to auto hide, it just sits there.
Most mac users, put all their application shortcuts and other often used places in the doc, so that it is there for easy access. You can do more things with the dock, both in style as well as in functionality.
Rocketdock is one such beautiful software, which provides the functionality of a dock in windows. It is amazingly cool, customizable and expandable. You can change skins, set effects and add shortcuts to the dock.
There is also another cool feature, which is not favored by all windows users. You can actually minimize running apps, to this doc, rather than to the taskbar, which is typical windows style.In fact, there are also a few usres, who call this dock feature a bad one, really? Opinions really differ.
Download rocketdock here. Teasing me more than this is the new leopard os x dock, which is extremely fancier than any other software. Leopard os x, i ll get it soon!
