“Highly customizable Mac-style navigation bar for your desktop”

by Bartley Sharkey about RocketDock

Give your desktop a Mac-like feel with RocketDock, an animated quick-launch bar.

RocketDock allows you quick, convenient access to your favorite programs and most commonly used folders. Setting it up is quick and easy and results in a really impressive navigation bar that you can position anywhere on the screen and customize as much as you like. There are 13 RocketDock skins to begin with and you can even create you own if you are feeling creative.

Adding shortcuts is a breeze. Either choose “Add” from the context menu and browse for a file or, more simply, drag and drop files directly onto the bar. If you want you can change any of the RocketDock icons, rearrange them by dragging or adjust the animation speed to your liking.

RocketDock a pretty slick addition to your desktop, so if you're looking to spruce up your desktop a bit while keeping your favorites close at hand, RocketDock is definitely worth a try.

Bring a Mac feel to your desktop with quick launch bar RocketDock.

    Best MAC Dock on Windows

    This is the best available program to install a Dock similar to Mac OS.. Do not go after programs like Aqua Dock. They leave unnecessay clutter in the registry.

    This is really a 5 Star program.... More

    ObjectDock?

    This software looks strangely like ObjectDock. If they are completely the same there is only one thing in which they differ. ObjectDock takes up less space.
