I found this one a few days ago, it's a small utility but it does a great job so you don't have to run through a loooong list in the Startmenu in Windows but this is more like what it looks like in OSX.

And it's free!

Oooh I never use windows plugins like this but I do want to try this one!

Thanks Max.

Yes it's great, very useful. I have it istalled in my PC since first versions and I use it everyday

Excellent isn't it i been looking for a util that could do something like this quickly and easily for a long time now and this one is it.

So you had it installed for such a long time jomaga and you never told us about it until now i wish you told me earlier this thing existed.

And i hope you find it as useful as i do JC. I'm sure you do.

Hehe
it's mine, my treasure

Something to customize your rocketdock icons (and much more)

Btw, here is another one

Hehe thanks for the link to those icons and stuff. I heard of Objectdock but isn't that thing using more ram and slowing down a system more compared to RocketDock ?

I haven't noticed any increase in ram usage and cpu usage beyond the 16mb that RocketDock uses when it's running. If ObjectDock has a similar footprint then it's usable.

Running both now
Rocketdock 5140Kb
Objectdock with "Optimize for performance" option 23960Kb
Objectdock with "Optimize for memory" option 7976Kb

Thanks jomaga, i appreciate it based on that it looks like RocketDock is still the way to go for now unless ObjectDock has something extra special to offer that kicks RocketDock's butt.

Which one do you prefer ? since you have both.

I've found objectdock this morning, I need some time to work with it, but it's somehow a little better Imho. I have both placed at the top of the screen (I think it's the best position) and Objectdock work a little better with the top bar of the windows (Minimize, maximize, close) Rocketdock is too sensible in this position, I've launched apps instead of closing windows a lot of times.

great find maximus, ...i much prefer this to object dock, thanks.

hehe looks great.

but I don't like anything icons on the desktop background except trashcan.

jomaga: Alright, then i'll check back with you in 30 days when you got time to compare them both.

sampson: Yep it sure is great! and i hope you find it useful.

Koufax: that's just the thing with this, when you don't use it then it autohides so you won't see the extra icons, it keeps your desktop uncluttered and clean. Btw, you gotta be one of the few people i know who actually see your desktop background i haven't seen mine in well over 10 years, well only upon reboot and startup but that's just for like 1-2 minutes.

I just installed it last night and it's fantastic! I have nothing on my desktop other than two folders and the rocket dock up top. Looks clean!
