Circle Dock: The Open Source Circular and Spiral Dock for Windows



"Circle Dock" is a new dock application which is different than other existing dock applications like RK Launcher, Rocketdock, Objectdock. All other dock applications can be put at top, bottom, left or right of the screen only but Circle Dock can appear where your mouse is. You don't even need to move your mouse.

The idea behind Circle Dock is that the dock should appear where your mouse is instead of you having to move your mouse to the dock like with other programs. This is accomplished by making the dock a circular or spiral shape so that it can be placed anywhere, even near the edge of the screen. The offscreen portions of the dock are easily reached by just scrolling with your mouse wheel or arrow keys.

A user defined hotkey combination is used to make the dock appear and disappear. By default, this combination is CTRL-WINDOWS KEY. You can change it in the settings area of the program.
