This has promise, but a LONG way to go. You can't in fact (that I can see) change the icon for a program to a .png file, it just uses the embedded icon from the program and the quality is terrible.

Another feature from ObjectDock which is missing is to get the Windows context menu when right-clicking an icon. This just gives you the XWindows Dock context menu, where ObjectDock gives you both.

Drag and drop to add items of course, although I could live without that. As said, Folks don't change what is on the dock very often once it is set up.

Promising... I will check back in a few months.

Right click an icon and choose Edit, then browse for your PNG. Presto!

They just default to whatever the EXE specifies. Note that the icons in my screenshot don't look terrible.
