Thread: OS X to Vista question

Yes.
Step 1: Wipe vista off your pc
Step 2: Install ubuntu
Step 3: Modify it to look exactly like you want (mac or whatever).

A less severe measure would be to obtain a copy of ObjectDock, but to be honest, these things aren't as usable as you would hope; I in fact found it a distraction, and much prefer using the free Launchy as an inobtrusive and quick alternative.

You mean that you want a dock on Vista? I thought you were switching from OSX to Vista, we would have hounded you for that

Here's RocketDock

It doesn't look like you can minimize windows into it or have Stacks, but it looks nice

You don't look far, do you?

Besides, ObjectDock is better and just as free.

I beg to differ, Rocketdock is far superior for a number of reasons. The interface is much more user-friendly, for one. It's more easily customizable, too. Launchy is handy as well, but I find myself using Rocketdock far more.

Aside from the eye candy, how does that differ from the quicklaunch icons? Heh the first thing I do with an XP install is give it the "classic" theme... that big blue jolly ranger button is yech...

*rotates the compiz cube a bunch* hehehe

the vista versions of the dock are indeed useless, and the quick launch is surely way better. in osx, it's small and I think rather well implemented... still not that useful though. oh and, I hate the default windows theme, but the windows media version theme is actually quite nice...

and yay for linux.

I use QuickSilver to launch applications from the keyboard in Mac OS X because I find it really unproductive to launch them with a mouse. Launchy is the same concept, so I suppose I would recommend that on Windows. If you don't feel handicapped by a mouse, feel free to use ObjectDock or RocketDock.

I got rocket dock. It's pretty sweet. I don't care to have things minimize into it... so I dig it.

Yeah, I keep it hidden at the top of my screen. I don't like to have many icons on my desktop, so it's a big help in ease of access.

I've got it on as small as it gets, always on top at the top of my screen. 16/50 pixels ain't no thang.
