i use stardock .. much better than this one ..
but apple uses a dock like interface in place of taskbar .. you know . botom of the screen .. i would LOOVEE to get a dock software that has icons for everything else PLUS my notification area .. i’ve done a lot of search on dock softwares but none show icons on the notification area .. whle mac doesn’t have one .. anyone wud agree that you cant use a windows platform without using a lot of systembar..

umm yeh stardock is good but 2 main reasons i use rocketdock over stardock
1. stardock is not free.
2. its more than double heavier on resources compared to rocketdock
