Product Description:

A-Dock is a bit like Mac OS X's dock. It acts as an application switcher and an application launcher It's separated in 3 zones - your favorite applications you've added by drag&drop (left part) - the other applications running on your computer (middle part) - the trash (right part). You can minimized A-Dock to just a small bar to save space on your screen. This bar auto-pops out when you move the mouse inside and minimizes again when you move the mouse outside. But of course if you have a big screen, you can leave it opened. A-Dock is stuck to the screen edges. Switching your monitor resolution will not move the dock to a place you don't want like the App Switcher does everytime I play Quake 2. The dock can be positionned everywhere on the sceen edges. Just grab it and drag it !!

What's new in this version:

new exclusion lists to select a different behavior for some applications
exclusion lists are not longer limited to 10 entries
new power-user shortcut to quit or hide applications in a single clic
an option to choose if A-Dock will play sounds

It's fine, It's free, but it says otherwise :-) - Version: 3.0, 9/2/2005 09:29PM PST

At the top of the control panel, it says "v3.0/Freeware"

In the text of the Info tab of the control panel, it says:

"Please note that A-Dock is not a ree product"

Other than that, it's a very fine piece of software that makes useful my Mac OS X- and Windows XP-induced habit of slamming the mouse down to the bottom of the screen to see what's running and to switch apps.

Very nicely done, Jérome!

I'd like to hopefully see in the future; 1) customizing icons for favourites, 2) being able to rename favourites, rather than having the default app name, 3) when clicking a second time on "reveal desktop", brings back all hidden items. Overall great app.

Great app, does exactly what it says and then some, and the author kindly and quickly answered my questions within 1 day. This app will go a long way to ease the suffering of those who have to split their time between OS X and OS 9 or earlier. Registered without hesitation.
