How to install or which dock software to use ?

[KNiGHTWRiTAZ]

Hey guys everything okay,

Have a small question and I hope that someone is willing or can help me out.
First off big thanks to Mr. Grim and others, the VistaGlazz works like a charm for changing custom themes.

and with Restorator 2007 also changed the explorer.exe without any hasle ;)

So the next step is like the title says, which software or modification to use to get the dock like in the example below !
Used the example desktop theme of Mr Grim to show what I exactly mean :

Ooh yeah almost forgot I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit as OS

Did take a look for Rocketdock, Objectdock of Stardock and Nexus << but not sure if it's safe to use , so I wanted to hear/see your opinion and
which is the best and savest method.

Best Regards,

To me it just looks like regular programs with custom icons on them..

try and google "fences" see if that's what you mean.

Hey mast3rpwns,
thank for your quick reply,

but no I mean like this Youtube video :

What I'm interested in, is there an other method besides to install 3rd party software to obtain dock (icons) on the desktop !

and if the software I mentioned above #01 is the only method, which would y'all recommend.

Best Regards,

stardock objectdock is free also but if you want all the bells and whistles you woul;d have to upgrade to object dock plus which costs money

Okay thanks for your opinion Kameirus, but does RocketDock support Win 7 64-Bit ?

curious what other has to say also. ;)

im using rocket dock too...
runs great and stable..im on win 7 64bit also ;)

:D

PS..i tried nexus too, but was too unstable and overloaded...
Rocketdock also has an small ram footprint so is "my" best choice^^
and you can also easylie make your own skins with photoshop..dunno if its different in other App Launchers.....

greetz^^

[Mr GRiM]

Rocketdock here too, always used it and love it, I use my own custom skins for it too and it works fine on x64

Thanks for you comment ViruS & Mr. Grim, really appreciate it ;)

Best Regards, :cool:

PROBLEM with rocketdock

I don't see the reason to open a new topic. I knew about object dock software... I have never used such software before because I found it unnecessary even it was pretty fancy. But now that I upgraded to Win 7 Ultimate on 32 bits I was astonished by the taskbar and the start menu but I also felt A REAL need for a dock software (no option for classic start menu, if a shortcut was on quicklaunch bar you can not open two or more instances of it...).
Anyway, I went with rocket dock.
It is amazing... works very smooth. I also installed stacks docklet for it which really makes it more useful. Now I have the feeling that this would successfully and totally replace the default taskbar and windows star menu.
BUT

now comes the problem...

Even if I selected it to be always on top of all windows and also the autohide option when I hoover with the mouse cursor where the dock is supposed to be... SOMETIMES it appears under the other opened windows (for example under Firefox).
I searched the google and haven't found a solution for that.
Also when pressing show desktop or Win+D rocketdock will not appear at all.
I didn't checked the option "Popup on Mouseover" from "Behavior" section. Do you have the same problem? If not, do you that option checked?
