Magic Dock

Magic Dock is yet another application that simulates a Mac OS Dock on your Windows-based personal computer. This trend has started some years ago, when the Dock has been introduced into the Mac OS X back in March 2001. The Apple company even applied for a design patent that took nine years to be granted.
The Mac OS X Dock is one of the defining pieces of design when it comes to the graphical user interface of the operating system. Its appeal has turned enough heads so that Windows users instantly demanded an application to emulate it and emulate it as good and as similar as possible, because the Dock does not only rely on its looks but on its functionality, too.
What Magic Dock tries to do is just that. Deliver a genuine experience to you, the user that demands that the Windows installation on your computer to feature a dock, a good-looking and 100% working dock. Right after the deployment process, you are presented with a neat, catchy dock at the bottom of your desktop. The first impression of Magic Dock is a pretty nice one, indeed.
Magic Dock surely provides the looks that many users would find attractive. On the other side, the one with the range of capabilities, this particular piece of software is not far from the original Dock of the Mac OS X operating system. It features similar effects of magnification alongside separators for easy definition of certain boundaries.
Moreover, every time you minimize an application window, it automatically posts as the rightmost item, next to the recycle bin which, when hovering, displays the number of items as well as the size in megabytes or gigabytes, dynamically. The ‘Settings’ window allows for advanced customization including the appearance, position, behavior, label, exclusions as well as performance.
The bottom line with Magic Dock is that it surely shows potential and that it can easily prove to be a great desktop companion for users that want such an application to encase their most precious tools and supply quick access to them at any given time. In fact, Magic Dock is a very good addition to anyone’s software arsenal, regardless of the fact that you want it just because it’s cool to have it or use it more for its purpose than aesthetics.
