Yz Dock! its good and will not bloat your resources
Project Pat
i would go with Y'z...

PLUE!
ahfunaki
I use Y'z but you're not supposed to be able to get it anymore...lol
Palmeiro
unfortunately theres not going to be a general concensus on the topic because theres a wide range of people who prefer Object Dock and a wide range of people who prefer Y'z dock.

I used to prefer Y'z Dock. But since it's untimely demise, Objectdock has added all the features I liked in Y'z Dock, and is smoother too. (yes, Objectdock can even do proper seperators, if you know how. wink.gif )

I am also now using ObjectDock rather than Mobydock and find it remarkably better. Much smoother and less buggy for me.
lostspyder
Y'z, there is no substitue
-=SD=-
Yz was the best, also used the less resources out of all 3, too bad apple canned that project sad.gif

Definetly Y'Z Dock. Does somebody know if there is the source code available somewhere ?

objectdock gets better and better with every build

The best dock in the world is probably the dock at daytona beach, ive been on that thing and its HUGE also people suicide off it every year so thats a ++
Sentinel01
i got the objectdock with the objectdesktop from stardock and have loved it since. It's got all the features of y'z dock and runs alot smoother than mobydock. also the stardock team keeps makin it better in each release.

I personally have been using objectdock full time since 0.90 and its great. And with the new RC 1 build, you can now have official separators.

And now it has the feature where it stays hidden until you hover over it and then it jumps to the front.

y'z dock all the way

I personally use both Y's and Object Dock shifty.gif

For me its easier. At first it was hard to get used to but now i cant live without it yes.gif
Systematic
ive used them all and i will Only use yz's runs the Smooth and fast on my Box biggrin.gif

I use Mobydock, because it's the only one that's hardware accelerated. It runs the smoothest for me.
preducer
yz dock...
sfalcon
I used mobydock, and if you have a fast machine, it runs perfect. But does anyone no what a good icon set would be? Im not looking for anything special, just some .png's that are high-rez like the default ones that come w/the dock.
NeoMayhem
Dock.app is by far the best tongue.gif
.Aaron
Just a question...I know there is probably and answer to this somewhere...but

Why the hell did Mac (jack asses) kill YzDock? I mean if it were still in development, it would be the BEST DOCK out there. And WHY are Moby and Objectdock still around and Mac hasnt killed them too (not that I would complain)?

YZDOCK RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah no kidding, DX9 acceleration is great. I don't see how it can not be smooth unless you have a real ****ty gfx card. It was the only one that ran smooth on my old rig (p3 700) while OD was choppy.

Yz Dock gets the award for best dock. It is so good, Apple threatened to take legal action. pinch.gif

I still prefer ObjectDock the best. But the newest version of it doesn't allow me to add folders to it. In version .86 (i think), it allowed me to drag standard folders to it. The newest one won't let me. Either way, it looks and runs the best for me.

Best Dock?
Yz Dock smile.gif

Y'z Dock or Mobydock here, I like Objectdock too but I can't use it because it doesn't have multi monitor support (that I know of) tongue.gif
dmbandfan22
Yz Dock is still the king even though its dead now.

Wow, I thought it was just me. OD crashes my computer when I try to add folders. I switched back to Yz because of that... : (

I am all the way to Y'z Dock. It's that good as Apple ask the creator to stop create the thing. See? Apple is too afraid that Y'z dock will emulate the dock EXACTLY like apple's
Ritalin
Y'z Dock
CCR
i don't like docks very much, but if i had to use one, i would use y'z dock
Statikk
What was the last released version of Y'z dock, and what is the latest "available" version? I haven't used docks in awhile, but it was my favorite.
Rich-E
The last released version that Mr Yamaguchi made available before the whole apple incident was 0.8.3 i believe

I'm with Apple on this. Y'z is the best!

NeoMasamune
