If you’re looking for a little Mac-like functionality on your Windows PC, give XWindows Dock a try.
XWindows Dock is an easy to use, minimal dock bar that will give you instant access to your most frequently-used apps. The basic app contains icons for My Computer and the Recycle Bin, but you’ll be able to simply drag and drop anything else you want.
For certain features, however, such as the Gmail checker, you’ll need to download the separate XWindows Dock plug-in manager.
This dock app isn’t the most visually attractive around.
Beyond size and location on your screen, it can’t really be modified without downloading extra modules. One nice feature, however, is Container, which allows you to place any folder on the dock.
When you click, you’ll get an easy-to-view fan of the items that folder contains.
There’s nothing really wrong with XWindows Dock, and some of you might even appreciate the minimalism of the application.
During testing, however, it seemed a little too basic and inflexible, especially when compared to other, fancier docks like Nexus. XWindows Dock does exactly what it says it will though, so if you like its style, go right ahead.
As docks go, XWindows Dock is fairly basic, but entirely functional.
