As a fan of moby dock, there are a couple of things id like to see implemented in the new release. But firstly id like to mention that although moby dock is a clone of the true apple dock, I think the nature of it shouldnt be total imitation but rather enhancement... This is why i think that its worthless to degrade the quality of the magnification or have features such as a "genie effect"...
so here are my suggestions...
- enable the dock to read all the icons in the folder so the user wont need to add them manually
- remove the configure icon in place of a right clickable background for properties.
- make moving icons easier
- streching of bar made simpler
- of course all the additions planned in the next update (bouncing icons/smoke deletion/etc)
- possible implementation of drawers (ie menu folders)
- maybe different magnification effects such as single icon enlargement with no other icons affected (yes i know this is kinda implemented..but there is still another icon affected)...and all these effects should be menu choosable...like magnification/single zoom/no zoom/etc
- agree with directx 9 implementation for speed improvements
- snapshot updates for webpages...whenever a page in minimized a new snapshot should be taken so that the homepage is not the only snapshot..ya know
- with the bouncing icon...possibility to detect if messages are recieved in outlook or aim?
- quick addition button on the config so you can easily add my computer/recyling bin/clock without searching through files
- clickable icons...that when clicked either slightly darken, blend, or depress into the bg
Thats about all i can think of..additions and critisms should be given... but dont let this get into a y'z vs mobydock thing .... cause that makes the entire thread worthless...

I wanted to add a link to a suggestion of mine for all three of the docks.
Foreground Layer for advanced skinning of Mobydock.
