Product Description:

Docktop is a new launcher for Mac OS X. This application provides a highly customizable launchbar on your desktop -- behind or above the icons -- to which you can add items to open applications, files, folders, weblinks, or AppleScripts.

What's new in this version:

  • Added global hotkey to show/hide the launchbar.
  • Added user-specified size of the icons.
  • Added drag and drop opening of files/folders for application items.
  • Added drag and drop move, copy, and alias of files/folders for folder items.
  • Added fixed positioning to anchor the launchbar to the edges or center of the main screen.
  • Added option to position the launchbar vertically as well as horizontally.
  • Added option to use round or square background or turn off background entirely.
  • Added automatic resize option when an item is added or deleted.
  • Added option to disable confirmation when deleting an item.
  • Improved the behavior of labels: if no item has a label, icons won’t be offset to allow label boxes, even if the option to show labels is enabled in the preferences.
  • Fixed an issue when using a folder as an item. Now, clicking on a folder item opens the folder as the expected.
  • Fixed several minor issues & improved the speed of the application when launching items.

Docktop CommentaryNot Snow Leopard Compatible - Version: 1.3, 9/24/2009 10:36AM PST

This version of Docktop is NOT compatible with Snow Leopard.

After inquiring about an update, the developer responded that they'll get around to it "eventually," but it isn't any kind of top priority. Understandable for a $6 app, but it leaves paid customers in a lurch.

Don't buy this app until it has been updated.

Love it, great application but it needs two more features that I need are:
color background of the docktop and it needs to let us know of which application, files or folders are open or close.
