Dock Your Applications In a Circle With CircleDock

Posted By Keith Dsouza On August 17, 2008 @ 3:21 pm In Utilities | 1 Comment

Mac users may be well versed with the Dock that allows users to launch applications easily, though Windows does not have a Dock as a built-in feature, you can definitely use several applications to do that, using tools such as RocketDock which we had mentioned earlier in our productivity tools [1] and ObjectDock.

CircleDock is another application that will allow you to add a dock to Windows albeit in a circular/spiral manner. This is quite different from the regular rectangular docks provided by other softwares.

CircleDock Features

  • Drag and drop your files, folders, and shortcuts onto a circular or spiral dock.
  • Rotate the dock with either your mouse wheel or the keyboard arrow keys.
  • Change the image shown for the icons and change the skins (compatible with icons and skins for Rocket Dock, Object Dock, etc.)
  • Ability to run the program from a portable USB memory stick and have the links in the dock point to the documents on the USB memory stick.
  • Ability to synchronize the links on the dock with the files, folders, and shortcuts on your desktop or other folders in real-time.
  • The dock appears where your mouse is by pressing a hotkey.
  • Works on computers with multiple monitors.

The CircleDock author also won the competition [2] held by DonationCoder for software developers.
