No connection with these good people, but the app is great! Adds functionality to the dock that I already can't imagine doing without and works really well.

Nifty!

I'll check it out.

I was really ticked when Apple removed all the good dock options.

Looks pretty awesome. The hover to get a display of open windows is the only feature of the Windows 7 Taskbar that I miss when I'm on Snow Leopard.

subego: What additional options from Apple are you referring to? The only feature missing from the Dock that I know of is live updating of QuickTime, which it once had in Leopard betas IIRC.

In 10.4, iTunes had a whole suite of controls (play/pause/skip etc.)

Other apps would only have "New Window", but this was extremely useful with, say, Safari.

Then: click "New Window" -> Go

Now: click Safari -> Have minimized window pop up -> Re-minimize window -> Click (or key) "New Window -> Go.

Not an issue if you don't multitask, or don't have a bunch of minimized windows, but I usually do.

Sorry subego, don't see what you are getting at.

iTunes in 10.6 has the same options as before (maybe more) -- certainly play/pause/skip are all still there.
Safari has the menu of the open windows at the top, a New Window option just below, and the usual standard items (Options... and so forth) below that.

Other than the totally pointless quicktime preview, I can't think of any loss of dock functionality between 10.4 and 10.6.

Looks like what they did is disable the click and hold method to access them, and made click and hold part of Exposé.

I'm not a right-clicker or a control-clicker, so I never noticed. I use the keyboard for Exposé, so for me the click and hold is useless.
