Sliderdock: New Dock Application for Windows

Posted on 07. Apr, 2009 by srikanth in Software, Windows

Sliderdock is a cool dock application for Windows, where you can launch your favorite applications without having to search for them in the program menu. It allows you to drag and drop icons to access them later with a double click.  It’s a unique tool, as you won’t have to chase around the icons like on a traditional dock. You just need to rotate your mouse wheel and let the icons come to you.

Key Features

• Simple drag and drop function to add an icon.
• Quickly launch an application.
• Use the mouse wheel to let the icons come to you.
• Customizable icons (compatible with objectdock and rocketdock icons).
• Hide/Un-hide application with the use of a shortcut key
• Reordering icons through simple drag and drop feature.

Sliderdock works with Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 with .Net framework 3.5 installed. Here is a video preview of Sliderdock.

Alternatives

There are a few other dock alternatives for Windows (Object dock, Rocket dock), but they function much the same as a typical Mac dock.  Do you use dock, or do you prefer the good ole Start Menu?
