14 DAY TRIAL // Dock Spaces is a small Mac app that allows you to have up to ten different docks and swap anytime you want from the menu bar. By providing options to select whether or not icons bounce in one Dock, or by setting another to automatically hide itself while the rest are in Tiger-style 2D, with different alignment and positioning, you can tailor your Mac's application launcher to your exact needs.
Dock Spaces also works side by side with OS X Leopard's own Spaces feature, while each Dock is customizable. As noted in our extensive review of Dock Spaces, there are numerous applications that allow Mac users to modify the looks and the works of their Dock, but none offers the many advantages of Dock Spaces, from a functionality point of view. The Dock Spaces main features include:
- Up to ten Different docks; - Task-specific / context-focused Docks; - Set the name of the Dock; - Spaces integration; - Growl support; - Software update; - Completely Free!
The new version, 3.01 Beta, attempts to resolve overwriting issues, according to Patrick Chamelo, the developer of Dock Spaces. Support for Snow Leopard is also included in this release, the developer says. Chamelo is the founder of NSCoding, his company, and his main priority is to learn new methodologies, improve his programming skills and gain experience in software design and development, according to the About Us page at nscoding.co.uk.
“NSCoding is a small software development group located most of the time in England and occasionally is taking place from Greece. We create useful and beautiful apps for Mac OS X and the iPhone. Most of the applications are free but donations are accepted,” the company continues to reveal on its website. “We are available to be contacted through a number of social media networks to provide our users with the quickest and easiest support possible.”
