ObjectDock is a program that acts as both a task manager and a program launcher. It lets you organize your short-cuts and
running tasks onto an extremely customizable dock that sits on your desktop. Users can customize the look of each item on the dock and set various animation options for when the mouse is over an item on the dock. It is very easy to configure.
Windows users are often jealous of the slick looking Mac dock that Macintosh has. ObjectDock is a Windows alternative that can help to increase productivity, as well as helping to make your desktop look great. Tired of hundreds of icons scattered all over your desktop? Finding it difficult to navigate through the many items listed in your Start Bar? Just want a new tool that looks good and reacts in a pleasing way when you interact with it?
