I've checked out that thing the previous month. Back then, my opinion was:

• Requires .Net 3 or 3.5 Framework to work like it's advertised
• Options Menu was buggy and slow
• Options Menu stopped responding
• Options Meny didn't really work either
• When you download the dock, it's a 7 MB .zip file. Most of the app takes only a fraction of the space when extracted 
• The rest of the space is taken up by icons ripped off from the default icon set that comes with Rocket Dock

I'm not saying I hate it. Just doesn't work though, does it?

...also you can check another circular one: magicformation

just waiting for the new ObjectDock with curved backgrounds ?! + batch shortcuts launch ?!

I gave this a run, and I'm fairly impressed so far.

Worked well on my Vista Ultimate machine, and was a cinch to learn in seconds.

Considering its stll in its apha stage, I think it has some great potential as an enhancement to objectdock. Making a skin or 'ring' for it should be a snap to most here, and it's already highly customizable.

All in all, I quite like it.

I think I might try my hand at making a few of my own skins for it.

It'll never replace my beloved ObjectDock Plus though....

Thanks for the post, OneLumpSum.

Well, tried it and while it's in alpha it might have some possibilities, but at this stage I prfer OD.

I'd really like to see some response from SD about the "fly out" feature that SeaBass has forwarded to them. There're lots of posts addressing this and the "Dell Dock".

I know that SD isn't M$ sized, but I'd love to hear they're planning something like that option if it doesn't violate some clause in the Dell contract.

All in all, SD is very responsive: Dreamscape 2.5 (for XP) is a perfect example of this.

While it's hard, I'm going to exercise patience and see what develops from SD.

This is definitely not an OD replacement, just something new to try out.  Like Erk said, maybe a good enhancement to run alongside OD.  I'm with Starkers, I saw a new toy and just had to give it a spin.  LoL.  Thought it be neice to share, glad a few ppl checked it out, there will be an updated version released on Sunday.  And, yes Messiah, the dock and icons are resizable.

If it's resizable, it'a a maybe. My problem with a lot of these is the icons. This is one reason I love OD, because of the png's. Some software comes with some really ugly freakin icons and it's a pain to have open the properties, etc., etc., and change each one..especially if you have to go and make them first. PNG's resize much better, as well.

Yahoo widgets has a 'space saving' dock that I love. If I could code, I would make one for DX. Hell, I'd make several. It's something, if I could code the icon/toggle/rotation, I could make skins to match blinds for.

Okay. This has some potential. VERY customizable. But I can't get it to spin.

This is what I set up on the fly just to see what I could do with it.

Po ....the up & down arrows on your keyboard are what makes it spin.

Those others are backgrounds for RocketDock...odd that they are included in this Circle Dock package.  I really like the icon replacement feature where you just drag the new icon on top of the old one.  Very easy.  Overall, it's pretty cool, looks like it's easily skinnable but I'll stick with ObjectDock as my main dock and maybe after a bit make a few skins for this just 'cause I can.

Best thing apart from the eye catching swirly feature, is definitely the icon replacement. Come on Stardock!! Sort it out lol. Can we please see this as a high priority in the next release? It would make everything so much easier

Po, There is an option in the settings to set the rotation, mine spins with my center mouse button.  The Square backgrounds are for a future release that will have docks like OD and square shaped docks, just haven't been implemented at this time.  The icon replacement feature is my favorite.  Also, if you right click on the dock and add a dock folder, then click on it, it opens an empty ring where you can add more files, kinda like a category.  Then you click on the center icon to get back to the main ring.  messiah, I'm not sure why yet, but it isn't set to be a permanent fixture on the desktop, only appears when clicking center mouse wheel, or setting a hot key command.  It'll be nice when it does, then I can leave it in the lower left bottom corner of my screen and use it for shortcuts and start menu.  Someone did put up 3 other backgrounds to share here, http://www.donationcoder.com/Forums/bb/index.php?topic=14881.new#new .  If you get around to making some circle docks mind sharing them??  I'd like to see what you come up with, some glass would be nice!  Is there still an active suggestions thread for the updated OD 2.0, I have one suggestion I'd really like to see.

woo hoo more toys !!!!!!
