Tumblr 101: Tips And Tricks To Get Started
Sebastian Thrun: Google's Driverless Car
Nexus: Easy to configure dock-style application launcher
There are a ton of advanced settings, many of which have to do with the program's animations and other visual elements. Adding programs to the dock is as simple as dragging and dropping them. You can remove shortcuts by dragging them to the trash bin.
The makers of Nexus also offer a commercial application called WinStep Xtreme which bundles Nexus with a desktop replacement called WorkShelf and a start menu organizer called Winstep Start Menu. If you shell out the $24.95 for WinStep Xtreme you also get a few extra features for the Nexus dock, including multi-level docks.

Rocketdock is much better. This is a resource hog.

I have been using this for a few months now. It works extremely well. The only complaint I have is that when you click a running apps icon it does not bring it to the front. Of course I just use alt tab for no big deal.

I love RocketDock and don't see anything new here that would make me want to switch. In fact, I'm troubled to see that there's a pay version at all when RocketDock is completely free.

Download & playing around with it for 30 minutes.
Nice interface, slow response, not as extensible as RD (RocketDock), use twice RAM compare to RD (my RD has 20 icons compare to default Nexus setup).
Maybe

Seriously? The RD team is combing the boards to pounce on the competition?
I've tried RD and whatever the other popular one is, uninstalled both within 24 hours.
Checked this one out as I'm still looking for something to play around with and have been tweaking this for a few hours now....and I'm kind of digging it. Doesn't use hardly any of my resources, and I can't imagine my computer is any better than the first poster's (I wish I could say otherwise). Totally not slow at all either, although it is using a whopping 20mb.
Free version is pretty worthy, thanks for the post DLS.

... or maybe rocketdock actually does use less resources?
im sticking with rocketdock as well, but mostly because i don't know why nexus taking up 80% the width of my screen (lolwut).

Loads of features not bad, on the same par as memory usage with Rocketdock on my system. Y'z Dock still my favorite, 1/3 memory usage of Nexus or Rocketdock.
