XWindows Dock is a better Leopard dock clone for Windows
by Lee Mathews Mar 27th 2009
However, one small failing right off the bat is that XWindows Dock doesn't support drag and drop - which might be a deal breaker for some users. I don't change my dock icons all that often, so I wasn't put off by the few extra seconds required to browse for my go-to programs.
PNG icons are supported, and the dock's effects are configured in myriad ways. Icon size, transition effects, transparency, zoom level, reflections, shadows, and much more can be precisely tweaked. You can also choose to display your dock in a 2D or 3D view.
Leopard's stacks feature is also built in, and the Dock will automatically choose the best viewing style. You can specify manually of course, with grid, fan, gallery (pictured), and list views available.
One other shortcoming of note is that you can't change the location of XWindows Dock - it sits at the bottom of your screen. Development is very active, though, so maybe we'll see drag-and-drop and repositioning options soon.
The developer states "no other Windows application of this class has so many graphical subtleties such as reflections, transparencies, shadow and blur in a single package," and I'm inclined to agree. If you're using RocketDock, try XWindows Dock and let us know how you think it stacks up [insert groans].

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
