Object Dock

(from their website)

"ObjectDock™ is a program that enables users to organize their shortcuts, programs and running tasks into an attractive and fun animated Dock. By allowing users to have more control over how they organize their desktop, users can take control of their desktop icons and shortcuts to have them be available when where and how they need them. This, all with the unique style and top-rate performance that ObjectDock is known to deliver!

In constant development, ObjectDock and ObjectDock Plus are enhanced often to provide the most unique features of any stylized shortcut organizer / launcher available.

New in v1.9! Cool new Stardock ReadyView™ weather flyouts, minimize animation in Vista, smoother / quicker drawing with smoothness settings and a variety of improvements. New plus-exclusives include all new improved taskbar status area handling, special taskbar modes, and more!"

And then this

"ObjectDock is a program that adds a skinnable dock to your Windows desktop. It is one of the most popular desktop enhancement programs available.

ObjectDock 1.9 is such a major update over 1.5 that it could have been called ObjectDock 2.0. In fact, there was a lot of internal debate on this with 1.9 being the compromise versioning!

Highlighted Changes

There's so many new things in ObjectDock 1.9 that it's hard to narrow things down to a handful. And even the above list isn't complete! Here are some of our favorite changes:

It's Faster!

Probably one of the first things some users will notice is how much faster ObjectDock 1.9 is. That's because the underlying engine was largely rewritten to take advantage of advances in OS and video card technology. It's faster while using less memory.

It's Prettier!

Another thing users will notice, especially long-time users, is how many cool new backgrounds and icons come with it. The default look has been changed, the default icons changed, and a ton of artwork from the WinCustomize.com community (with permission) has bee included.

One other note about that screenshot, ObjectDock supports backgrounds on a per item basis!

It's more useful!

ObjectDock is popular not just because it's so visually cool and pretty but because it is very useful. Docklets that support searching and the ability to display running tasks as part of your dock are examples of why ObjectDock isn't just a cool program, it's a very useful one.

ObjectDock 1.9 includes a new weather docklet that on a single click will display the 5-day forecast.

ObjectDock 1.9 also includes a new Start menu docklet that will bring up the real Start menu (and if it's skinned, then it'll still be skinned!).

It's more usable!
ObjectDock has always been strong about having features that make is convenient to use. But ObjectDock 1.9 goes even further!

ObjectDock 1.9 now includes options for dock placement that is completely free-form! Put the dock anywhere you want on the screen!

It's easier to use!

The user interface has been updated to be easier to use with functionality much more accessible!

It has more Windows Vista support!
While users of Windows XP have much to rejoice, users of Windows Vista get live thumbnail previews and minimize and restore effects thanks to the new Windows Vista desktop graphics engine (the DWM) which provides hardware acceleration features!

It's more fun!

With thousands of skins and icons for ObjectDock and tons of cool effects and options to choose from, ObjectDock doesn't just look great and work great, it's just fun to use.

And it's still free!

The world's most fully featured dock on any platform is still freeware.

Stardock also makes ObjectDock PLUS! which adds tabbed docks, system tray support, additional mouse-over effects, multiple dock support, taskbar grouping, and more!

But ObjectDock itself remains free as it always has even with all these new features. Try it yourself and find out what millions of others have learned -- it's fun, pretty, and useful!"

Please tell me that helped!

I am not aware of any other dock besides, Rocket and Object
