Hi PH,
Are you satisfied with the features Apple Dock provides?
I'm not....
I created ActiveDock because the Mac Dock does not have the ability to switch between windows, change the appearance, and conveniently group elements, and does not allow you to hide unused items.
Main Features
- Window Previews Panel - allows you to view and switch between windows, as well as resize and move your windows
- Themes
- Groups and Folder Views - for convenient grouping of items
- Start button to quickly launch applications and open folders
- and much more
I want to simplify the application and plan to rewrite 70-80% of the code in order to simplify the application and make it more intuitive
I will be grateful for your feedback and advice.

Let me know what do you think
Upvoting for 2 reasons;I've been speaking with Sergey since Cmd+ plus and he's incredibly responsive to both feed back and suggestions. No doubt that if there's any problems here with Active Dock, it would be address fast and accordingly
@manny_orduna thank you very much ... by the way I will release a new version of Command-Tab Plus, a lot needs to be implemented and changed ... I would like that you would participate in beta testing ...
I love wood and the wood shelf theme is very nice. This alternative dock works much better than others I've tried. And, the developer is very active in fixing issues. Updates are regular, not once a year.
Pros:
Very nice themes, builtin window controls for placement on the screen, hids the orginal dock very well, the developer is very responsive
Cons:
Does get slow when the system is very busy/memory limited.
thank you very much for the support ... I want to rewrite 80% of the code in version 1.2 since the architecture was born during the development ... now I want to collect all the feedback and wishes .. maybe I needed to do a PH launch earlier

Nice small app that could 🎨 improve standard boring Mac dock
Pros:Windows preview reminds me PiP (Picture in Picture) mode in 📺TV. Love it!
Cons:Didn't find so far.

At first I thought it was the animation , but it is slow.
Pros:Very nice, has tons of preset looks, window management, and live previews. Too awesome
Cons:Too bad it isn't free , and it is pretty slow . Can't move the dock items though
Just warning new people who might be interested. This won't be developed further.
Pros:Concept seems promising, but...
Cons:Appears to no longer have an active developer as their website has disappeared.
