Thanks for the reply, but apparently neither support W7 x64
I'm pretty sure Rocetdock does. For icons, rocketdock has a buch of icon packs. there are also a lot of free Icon websites out there. You are best off using high resolution scalable PNG icons.
On Linux You have a ton of different Dock Opitons. Some Desktop environments like Gnome 3 Shell and Ubuntu's Unity come preloaded with their own native docks.
On most linux systems you can use docks such as
- Docky (AKA, Gnome-Do Dock): a great light weight dock. not very customizable and has few composite efects, but it is extremely stable, very easy to use and uses very little resources.
- Avant Window navigator (AKA AWN). It is one of the most popular and elaborate of the Linux Docks. It supports tons of composite effects and widgets.
- GLX-Dock / Cairo Dock. Like AWN it is a very elaborate dock with support for tons of composite effects and widgets. The GLX variant is even more elaborate then the original Cairo version. some claim it is easier to use than AWN.
- Engage Dock - This is the dock native to E17 desktop environments. Personally I think it sucks, but many love it.
- Simdock: Tried it once and didn't like it. It's very light and good for low spec machines and older hardware.
I think there is a native KDE dock as well, and there are a bunch of other smaller and or defunct projects.
Lastly, if you are using a Gnome 2 or and Xfce based distribution, you can always turn your bottom panel into a simple dock. All you do is add launchers for your apps, make the panel background invisible and set it to always on top or intellihide. you'll get a simple dock with no composite effects but which will work without consuming any additional resources.
