This is a great docking system but Nexus uses less resources and as a few more options as far as I can tell.
Cons
None really.

"Fun to set up & a pleasure to use!"
Version: RocketDock 1.3.5
Pros
Very cool "dock" and more customizable than a '57 Chevy. And free, too!
Cons
Haven't found any, yet.
Summary
I'm always leery about installing a program of this kind but after using it for a week, I'm sold!

"does what it says it does"
Version: RocketDock 1.3.5
Pros
great quality, completely customizable, great add-ons
Cons
avg- found a threat in one of the docklets (not installed by RocketDock), but it was easily fixed.
Summary
I sold my mac a couple of years ago for a pc because it was simply more functional (I didn't know too much about macs, but great with pcs) but I missed the sleek look the mac had. Rocketdock is AMAZING! I have been able to download tons of icons, and really easily make my own in photoshop. It seems even more customizable than the mac dock. The zoom on mouse-over is awesome, never slow or glitchy and unlike other programs, it doesnt randomly crash. If you like the functionality of a pc, with the looks of a mac this program is definitely perfect for you. I would recommend it to anyone. As always though, just be careful with the add-ons you download, as they are made by random users and can sometimes contain viruses- this is easily fixed by checking the rating and comments from other users before you download. All in all, I am so grateful for this program, mac look without mac price!

"Does every thing it said it would."
Version: RocketDock 1.3.5

Cons
Don't have any at the moment.

"A great dock!"
Version: RocketDock 1.3.5
Pros
- Does what expected
- Highly customizableCons
- When right click on an icon it does show RocketDock settings and not the system one (ex. Recycle Bin)
- Does not work with 64bit operating systemsSummary
It is a great dock. My suggestion is to use windows icons instead of RocketDock native icons or other icons package. I have placed RocketDock on the top side of the screen with the autohide feature enabled so I can easely access all my favourite applications, folders and documents simply by moving the mouse on the top of the screen.

"Fun, attractive, efficient and customizable."
Version: RocketDock 1.3.5
Pros
Free :D
User friendly.
Flows.
Decent community following (punklabs.com).
Many objectdock docklets are compatible (and vice versa).
Easily customizable Icons/Stacks.Cons
Hard to attractively/efficiently replace your tray/toolbar.
Occasionally the dock crashes if you've set up a new feature poorly.
Time consuming to set up to your tastes, but that depends on your ocd.Summary
Not a needed tool, but a fun one. I'd love a dock that features multiple docks *** Objectdock pro so I've been experimenting with a Rocketdock/Objectdock mating. It looks like Objectdock uses resources better but the wincustomize community is lacking in ways Rocketdock isn't and vice versa.
I'd use this dock in addition to the toolbar as a fun novelty program at the moment, but it performs that excellently. 4/5 stars.
