Mac style icon bar for Windows

Craig321 · 19 May 2008 at 21:06

Hi,

I used to use an icon bar in Windows that was similar to the Apple one. Possibly even open source.

Any ideas of the name?

Thanks,
Craig

You sure?

I'm positive I've used it on Vista before.

Might just mean its not "supported" yet, but it does work.

Not tried it myself, but according to the creators it doesn't work. Maybe they meant it's no officially supported in the 64-bit environment yet

Must be try out new software day in my house cos I've just given Rocket Dock a go and have to say I like it. In the past I've had Yzdock (now disconntinued/outlawed by Apple) and this is more of the same only upto date.

ps Its running on my 64bit Ultimate just fine

Cool, I'll install it now

I use ObjectDock, I don't know if it is compatible with Vista, let alone Vista 64.

Thinking back now I think this was the one I did use with XP.

RocketDock all set up and working good though

Out of interest, what is the appeal of these?
I've tried them in the past, and genuinely can't see how they improve ease of use.

They are pretty.
