ObjectDock is an application from Stardock that allows you to have a Mac-like dock on a Windows computer. It's animated, highly customizable and very easy to use. It can also hide when not in use and reappears when you move your mouse to its position. ObjectDock can streamline the Windows experience and can even replace the Windows taskbar, making all your favorite apps easy to find and use.

Features:

  • Highly Customizable - ObjectDock allows you to apply animated effects to icons when you mouse over them, and you can also change the size, colors, font, transparency and background of a dock.
  • Multiple Docks - ObjectDock allows you to create as many docks as you need, so you can store similar apps together in separate docks and switch between them when using your computer for different tasks that require different programs.
  • Drag and Drop Application Launching - drag a desktop file onto the application in your dock that should open it, and the document will quickly open. For example, if you were to drag a word document from your desktop to the Microsoft Word icon on your ObjectDock, it would open the document in Microsoft Word.
  • Tabbed Docks - Categorize your desktop items even further by adding tabs to your docks. This allows you to store and organize related documents, images, programs and links in the same dock and switch between tabs when switching tasks.
