ObjectDock

I do not like the way every PC has the same basic look. I found a software called ObjectDocks that lets you customize the way your computer screen looks. The basic premise of the software is organize shortcuts and running tasks onto a customizable dock on you desktop. This program is specifically for PC users who want to customize their applications and make them more interesting and unique. The three things that I really like about ObjectDocks is the neat docklets, the running task bar (kind of like a MAC), and the way it lets you customize the way your computer looks.

According to the website, ObjectDock is simply a container for desk top items. The first thing I like about ObjectDocks is the docklets. These are mini applications that can do just about anything (clock, weather, e-mail status, calendar, WIFI strength). For example, if you install the weather docklet, when you move your mouse over the weather icon on the taskbar, you will see a 5 day weather forecast. The second thing I like is the running task bar. You can move through all your icons with a lot of ease - just like the MAC. When you move your mouse over the icon, the icon grows just like a MAC. You can even hide the Windows Start bar and take over all of its functionality. The third thing I like about OjectDocks is you can customize the task bar anyway you like, from placement on the screen to different icons. You can even change the background. I personally like to put the task bar on the right hand side instead of the bottom.


The basic ObjectDocks is free. You can purchase an upgrade called ObjectDocks Plus. This upgrade allows you to have customizable tabs on your dock. Check it out.
