RocketDock 1.2.5

Punk Software - (Freeware)

Customize your desktop by making it original and practical at the same time with RocketDock.

RocketDock is an application that can customize the desktop, being a fully 3D animated toolbar (which makes icons grow to mouseover). It comes with many display themes, and is compatible with all virtually existing skins (Y'z Dock, mobydock and ObjectDock). Fully configurable, it allows you to keep at your fingertips shortcuts to your favorite programs, your job, your network favorites, documents, control panel, etc. RocketDock software changes the appearance of the desktop and makes it more convenient . But it also has an option to customize their own appearance.

The application offers great features such as the reduction of the windows in the dock (with reduced viewing videos in Windows Vista), the management of multi-screens or the ability to customize its appearance, the ability to watch videos in a smaller screen.
