Hey aders,
The one thing that I really don’t wanted to switch a Mac stuffs like that, I have always adored the program dock. Needless to say I was delighted to see dock tools for Windows finally emerge.
A dock is a user interface feature of operating systems:
I using the Object Dock<<Click and Stack Docklet<<Click
Mm..I’m gonna show you how to get a Dock for Wondows with the new “stacking” feature. but it also saves a lot of room/space, so you can fit/stack as many icons as possible, especially if you have a low resolution display and/or a lot of software you want to access quickly.
So, You need is:
1. Object Dock (RKLauncher, and Rocket Dock also support this I believe, but I prefer OD)
2. Stacks Docklet (created by Matías Moreno)
3. Some Icons (you can get icon packages somewhere on internet, i.e wincustomize, deviantart, on and on)
Once you install Object Dock, download the Stacks docklet, unzip the package, and place the folder in the “docklets” folder (by default located in C:\Program Files\Stardock\Object Dock\Docklets) such that the folder called “StackDocklet” contains a folder called “Images” and a dll-file called “StackDocklet.dll” Once you do that, the feature should take effect; no restart required:
Once you add a docklet, you can go to icon properties and assign a folder and an icon:
To create docklets with just the shortcuts you want, you can simply create a folder with the shortcuts you need and add that as a docklet (see picture above)
You should get something like this:
or
Download freeware--other docks you select:
Orbit Dock
RK Launcher
RocketDock
Y'z Dock, then see "programz" you need to click.
Enjoy & Good Luck!
