Free Dock Applications for Windows
The one feature I liked about Mac OSX is the dock, which acts like a quick launch for windows, enabling you to quickly open any application. Though Quick Launch does the job for windows, having a dock application would definitely be more useful.
Here is a list of free dock applications that will bring the much envied feature from Mac to your Windows PC.
RocketDock
RocketDock is one of the best dock applications available for Windows, we had also mentioned it earlier as a tool to increase your productivity. RocketDock allows you to store all your quick launch applications in the dock, for quick and easy access. In addition to that it also allows you to minimize applications directly to the dock.
There are quite a few themes to choose from too, so you will never get bored with the look of your dock. RocketDock can also be easily customized with additional plugins. and you get all of the features absolutely free. Download RocketDock.
ObjectDock
ObjectDock is also a good dock software, that will allow you to organize program shortcuts, applications and running tasks into a attractive and fun animated dock. The application is quite similar to RocketDock. ObjectDock is offered as a free download. Download ObjectDock.
CircleDock
Previously mentioned CircleDock is a dock application with a difference, instead of the regular rectangular docks, CircleDock allows you to dock applications in a Circle. The application provides you with several interesting features and is easily portable. CircleDock can be downloaded and used for free. Download CircleDock.
Aqua Dock
Aqua Dock Is a free program that allows you to have an OS Xstyle, nice animated launchbar / taskbar on your screen that reacts to your mouse when you mouse over it. Users can customize the look of each item on the dock and set various animation options for when the mouse is over an item on the dock. It is very easy to configure. Download Aqua Dock.
MyDock
MyDock a program launcher/organizer which combines functionality of Windows Start Menu, Taskbar and Quick Launch. To add an application to the dock is to start application from anywhere in the system and then ‘pin’ it to the dock by selecting ‘pin’ option from the content menu.
