In this article, we recommend dock programs for Windows 10 that let you give your desktop that Mac OS X look. As you may know, Dock is a registered trademark of Mac, but we’ll present tools that will make your Windows environment a Mac environment.
For those who don’t know what Dock is, it’s a graphical user interface element that allows users to launch, switch, and monitor programs.
RocketDock
We’ll start with RocketDock, a simple and very lightweight dock that lets you customize it to the max. You can choose its position on the screen, its size, its width, and most importantly its appearance (several templates are available). If you want to go further, you can customize the quality of icons, effects, and the cursor, which can speed up your operating system. RocketDock is a free program available for Windows. (It’s free of malicious software, as analyzed by VirusTotal).
XWindows Dock
Next is XWindows Dock, a great option for adding a dock to your Windows 10. One of its best features is its 2D and 3D modes (you can turn them on or off). Another important feature is the ability to add icons by dragging and dropping. However, one drawback is that it attaches to the bottom of the screen and you can’t customize its position. XWindows Dock is a free program available for Windows. (It’s free of malicious software, as analyzed by VirusTotal).
Winstep Nexus
Winstep Nexus is ideal for users who are just starting with docks on Windows, as well as for advanced users. We’d say it’s the best option on this list. The tool includes nice gadgets (weather forecast, hardware monitoring, email notifications, among others). All these options beautify your operating system, and if you want to customize your environment, you can do so from its “Settings” menu. Winstep Nexus is a free program (though it also has a commercial version) available for Windows. (It’s free of malicious software, as analyzed by VirusTotal). It uses the installer from “download.cnet.com”.
ObjectDock
ObjectDock is a very simple program for adding a dock to your Windows operating system. The platform lets you add icons via the “Add” option, but it lacks effects and template support. ObjectDock is a tool designed for beginners who want to add a dock to their Windows.
ObjectDock is a free application available for Windows. (It’s free of malicious software, as analyzed by VirusTotal). If you’re thinking about using a dock on your Windows 10, we hope you can choose an option from this list. And if you’re one of the many Windows users who already use a dock, we hope you can see other options.
