One of my favorite programs atm - seriously if you haven't tried it, download it- its wicked!

Y'z Dock is a program launcher like the dock in MacOS X. This application is currently in beta, so please send all reports to the author. In order to add icons, drag and drop a file (.exe, shortcut, etc.) straight from Explorer to the dock area. In order to delete an icon, drag and drop the icon out of dock. Place the PNG images for your icons in the icons folder. Right-click on the icons in the dock, choose 'Property' and choose your icons images there. Right-click anywhere on your dock background and choose 'Setting' to change the settings that apply to the dock itself. The clock and the trash bin are not yet implemented, but they will be shortly.

Any one notice the tribute to nw on his site!

[QUOTE]The clock and the trash bin are not yet implemented, but they will be shortly.[/QUOTE] ¿? The clock and the trash bin are implemented since version 0.60. You just need to right click the dock and select ADD DOCKLET. Since version 0.70 you don't need to use png anymore because Yz'dock now support icon files. Peace

YZ Dock is coming on and gets better and better

This is a nice update.

There's finally a solution for the choppy popup and magnification. I like the new addition to the Recycle Bin docklet though it's a tad slower now. Yz Dock beats MobyDock and ObjectDock.

Yz dock been kickin' others Dock ass since quite a time. I tried the "new" moby dock and it's got slower than the first release of object dock...Y'z really rocks !!!

BetaNews is definitively NOT the place to get info on Y'z Dock. You can find all the latest news, info and downloads for Y'z Dock at http://www.designtechnika.com which is the official Y'z Apps forum. BetaNews has the same info for this latest 0.7.5b release that they had for version 0.5

BetaNews was even hotlinking to the Y'z Dock .exe files in our download area. This forced us to use a hotlinking protection script as they wouldn't stop hotlinking even after we asked them to stop stealing our bandwidth. Also, the contact email address for Mr. Yamaguchi is wrong at BetaNews

please visit either DesignTechnika² or Yamaguchi's Y'z Dock page which we host: http://yz.designtechnika.com/

screw betanews. i remember when they were cool when chris hilbert was part of the team. now he heads fileflash, which is infinitely better than betanews. betanews sold out to efront, then the whole icq log thing w/ the owner got them shut down. betanews sucks because nate mook sucks. i used to go to high school w/ him so i know how much he likes to copy other peoples hard work and turn it into his. go and read his articles.... you'll see stuff from here he copies word for word.

hey, i was wondering what the 'indicator' was for on the YZ Dock. Thanks

#10.1 buzz99 on 26 Apr 2003 - 13:25

It's currently running process/apps.

#11 altezza on 26 Apr 2003 - 13:53

Great! Yz Dock still the best!

my favorite app

#14 fubarshibby on 26 Apr 2003 - 18:15

thank god he released a new version. it fixed a strange bug i was having with magnification

it is now back on my dtop

#15 Miran on 26 Apr 2003 - 18:56

Awesome program. Beats Moby to a pulp.. My only gripe is how long it takes to display the icon-change list if you have lots of icons in the icons folder.

when will u be able to minimize programs into it and use it as a replacement to the windows taskbar?
