RocketDock

RocketDock is a free application launcher that creates a panel on your desktop for quick launch of any programs you choose. The utility has smooth icon zoom animation and adjustable transparency. Thanks to its neat graphics and polished appearance, RocketDock is often compared to the interface element of the Mac OS X operating system called Dock. The similarity also adds ease of use - the basic program settings, i.e. the addition of shortcuts, are made with an intuitive drag and drop gesture.

You can place any frequently used shortcuts for programs, folders and documents on the working area of the panel. Each of the shortcuts can be individually configured to give it a proper look. In the latest versions of the utility, the functionality of the taskbar has been added, i.e. it can be used not only to launch applications, but also to minimize windows to the dock with real-time previews and restore them. RocketDock supports alpha-blended PNG and ICO icons, multi-monitor setups, skins made for MobyDock, ObjectDock, RK Launcher and Y'z Dock. The program is portable, runs on Windows 2000 and later, and is distributed by Punk Labs on a name-your-own-price basis, so it can be downloaded for free.

RocketDock provides quick and easy access to your favorite programs through an intuitive, customizable interface.
