As of 2009-09-16:
"Due to circumstances beyond our control, Whimsicaly Plucky Software has to close it’s doors. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank al of the users of BackityMac, RadiioRocker, DockChanger and VideoVangelist for their patronage. There is a possibility we may open the doors again one day. Until then I’ve updated all the products to remove all registration requirements and they are all now FREE. Any versions previous to these listed will no longer activate. You may still email me if you wish, however, no further support for the products will be offered."

All their apps are still able to be downloaded ATM. But they are all 'end of life', aka 'abandonware'.

DockChanger CommentaryIs v1.7.5 Really Available? - Version: 1.7.5, 12/20/2008 07:01PM PST

pendragon
The download above only produces v1.6.9.

The Dl from the he developer directed us to (http://www.smartbeginningsorangecountyva.org/media/software/DockChanger.zip) produced v1.6.1.

Has anyone been successful in obtaining v1.7.5? If so, how? Please help.

FWIW, I find it a sad commentary that after all these months the developer still cannot find a site or mirror to support his products.

I have written to the developer asking for help. As yet, no reply.

I have enjoyed DC, but as of now, I can no longer recommend it.

Docker is far too complicated for the average user to use. Too many options make too much confusion. With DockChanger you simply pick your theme and you're done.

Below is one comment of a person who did not check their junk mail box. DockChanger serials are issued approximately within one hour after payment. This particular person was issued the serial in a timely manner, but it had been gone from his junk mailbox.

DockChanger CommentarySave your money! - Version: 1.5.1, 4/15/2008 07:18PM PST

Last week I paid PayPal to register DockChanger 1.5.1. After a couple of days of not receiving a password, I sent a email to request my password. There has not been a reply. I have sent 3 emails and this person hasn't had the courtesy to reply to any of them.

Over the years I have purchased many many share ware apps without any incident until now.

Don't Pay for Dock Changer, you will get ripped off!

DockChanger CommentaryUpdate Alert, Calls Home? - Version: 1.3.8, 2/18/2008 12:00AM PST

(1 of 1 users found this comment useful)

pendragon
After installing 1.3.8, every time I launch the app, I get an alert advising there is a new version:
1. AFAIK, 1.3.8 is the latest version. Developer needs to fix.
2. If the developer "knows" my software is out of date, how was this determined without his calling home? At least give the user the option/preference of disabling this "feature" (I used Little Snitch to resolve that issue).

All said, and even with the above nits, I still like the application and found it worth the price,

Do I want this for the amount of space it takes up? It is bigger than Ben Hur.
