Vista Dock - Slick

Here's a good one I found...best looking one I've had yet for those that don't know about it...I've switched to it from RocketDock...seems to use about the same amount of resources and comes with some great icons...if there's an update to this somewhere, please post:

um... that is a "stolen" version of rocketdock

it just comes with vista stuff incorporated

 

Really, stolen? It is still named RKLauncher....had they changed the name I would have thought so too....you mean they don't know each other?

Great dock nevertheless...freeware

 

And rocketdock is just a "stolen" version of ........Ummm?

 

I'm guessing you mean Objectdock?

 

Psh. Everyone bit off Apple. End of discussion.

 

apple is the original creator of the dock concept...

 

Isn't aqua dock the first dock that copied apple's dock???

 

Yup. Apple came with a great idea. Ever since I installed Object Dock, I have been so happy. I really don't have a use for my taskbar anymore.

 

Agreed all dock apps rip off Apple, I'm using objectdock right now (on an old XP notebook with a Mac theme) which dock app is the less resource intensive one?

 

well done on totally going off topic guys!!!

have anyone tried slick yet? and how does it compete with RK and OD?

 

This dock IS RKLauncher, with some vista goodies added, that's all. I'm using it, loving it.

 

How stable is this program?

 

I've been watching it carefully, including resource usage which is about the same, maybe a little less than Rocket Dock. It has been stable for me, no probs.....best dock I've had yet.

 

Thanks for the quick response. I may want to give this a try at some point. I'm just weary about adding too many things to my computer at this point.

 

I understand....I put off using a dock month after month, but once I got used to using one I couldn't go back to dockless

 

Oh, I'm using a dock. I have Objectdock. I can't ever see myself without a dock ever again, like you.

My question to you is does this function just like OS X, for the most part. I'm talking about the appearance mainly. I know they're two different operating systems, but are there similarities in the functionality? An example would the the "taskbar" at the top. Do the menu options change depending on what program you have open like the OS X? That's the best example that I could think of to give you a better understanding of the question I am asking.

 

I can go either way and be comfortable. I guess Launchy makes up for any losses.

 

This is the best dock that i have ever used(Used only 2 docks so far Aqua and RK)

I never had a problem from this program.

Thanks to Zoid(+ rep)

Here is my pic

 

Thanks Shadowfate...isn't it though? And damned if the price isn't right

 

Your welcome, and it really is the best and it's free

Wow you have a looot of items in your dock(25) I use the Stacks docklet to minimize the amount of items in my dock.

 

Looks pretty nice. Sweet icons.

 

Stacks....I'll try that one....Pixelot, I was lucky and found decent icons for everything I needed....had to join a couple of off the wall forums to get a couple of them....lol

 

I like the GIMP one with the red-tipped paintbrush.

 

I also faced the problem of what icon to use for each specific item.

 

I might try this later. ;o

 

There are a few to try....I've only tried RocketDock, ObjectDock, and this one....this is hands down the best looking one I used. I only want an icon organizer out of one, not a taskbar replacement, so this is perfect for me.

 

what's wrong with quick launch...? you can include "stacks" into a tool bar...you can auto hide it...you can include text. i dunno i just don't need the eye candy of a mac os X style dock...

 

I downloaded the Leopard dock skin for Rocketdock, but how do you make it 3D? It only shows up 2D for me.

 

I actually do use a "stack" toolbar in my taskbar for my Games....

 

Where's the download for it? I can't find it on the page.

 

Just click on the pic that you first see

 

I don't know....I tried that myself with RocketDock....so I downloaded this one that came down the pike as 3d lol
