Best dock = Free dock. Кошмар какой, и на этом деньги делают (reputation is not for sale).
You at all don't understand an essence of dock for windows. The dock is not reflexions of icons for money. The dock is a convenient management and convenient access to the shortcuts, mail and music. I do reflexions in Paint. NET
It occupies some minutes of my time.
Good example of development of free dock with the necessary functions - MacXDock. When it will be finished, you will understand me. Good luck! 
I heard stardock also charge for a dock, guys.
Let's all yell at them, Windowblinds should be free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL Phoshi!
Yes, yes, hear, hear! Then you guys will all get together and pay for the bandwidth bill of Wincustomize, right?!
What do you mean you won't? 
Oh. Free suits you fine, but only when other people carry the bill, right? Because when it starts touching your pocket, then it's a whole different matter.
When did this generation become so irresponsible and self-centered?! :confused:
Well... may be they are right... I want a free Playstation 3!!!
Oh and BTW free DiRT and GRiD from Codemasters freeware developers.
I don't mean I want a pirate version of them, no no no, I want a freeware DiRT and a freeware GRiD without limitations!
BTW just to demonstrate JcRabbit concepts, I have had in mind writing a Time Machine clone for Windows, but it would have to be a paid version because I would need to leave my current job to write it.
Edit:
I almost forgot... free Mac OS X! And I want it PC compatible, or better yet a free Mac Book Pro.
Answer whatever you want, I know you're not angry. Indeed, I know you're not serious., Indeed, I know you're kidding. Hahaha, no, the whole answer was not for you, just this tiny sentence
thank god, someone understands humor. you guys all need to calm the **** down.
And you need to understand the power of words.
Anyway, glad to know you were not banned permanently. :-)
my words are often hollow, you'll know when they mean something.
that was probably my first ban ever.
I think you guys might like to see this as well:
It's a pack of five different NeXuS-only KTEK 4D themes made by Tiggz I just uploaded to Wincustomize (you can download it from HERE. Full KTEK 4D theme can be downloaded from HERE).
Notice how the icon reflections are only applied to the tile surfaces (i.e. do not extend into the transparent part of the dock tiles). You simply cannot do this with Photoshop generated reflections. 
A lot of thought and work went into how reflections are rendered in Xtreme 8.9, so that reflections behave like real reflections and not like they're 'glued' to the main icon - this is especially noticeable when using the new bounce, swing and rock mouse over effects you can see on the
It's... technically impressive, at least )
However, I can (and will) use that screenie to demonstrate my dislike of the NeXuS icons.
There are 4 of them... why? Surely 1 would do!!
I already answered that question in THIS post on page 2. :-)
Reason 3 - i.e. 'Another feature unique to NeXuS is that you can collapse floating docks (i.e. docks not attached to a screen edge) by double clicking the control icon. When you do that, the dock collapses so only the control icon is visible. Double click it again and the dock expands to normal size.' - is especially important.
I don't quite understand why you dislike the control icon so much (especially given that it can be skinned) but, as with everything else, if this becomes a popular request I can always come up with some way NOT to show the control icon (optionally, of course) in the next release. But under protest! :-P
Ah, just remembered another reason: what would happen to the dock if you deleted every single icon in it? How would you display an empty dock that you just created?
Errr... ok, I can answer that question myself: simply display a blank tile, hehe.
Ah, and another reason I forgot, also unique to NeXuS:
As you probably know, besides supporting multi-docks, NeXuS also supports sub-docks (i.e. any entry on a dock can be made to open a sub-dock when clicked on. This allows you to categorize items much like you can with a tabbed dock).
What you probably don't know, is that NeXuS has extensive dock management abilities (told you, functionality is king with Winstep Xtreme): one easy way to create a sub-dock based on another existing dock, is to drag the control icon of the source dock and drop it onto another dock. This will remove the source dock and turn it into a sub-dock of the target dock.
You can do the same in relation to the Shelf (tabbed dock): drag a dock's control icon, drop it into a regular shelf, and that dock becomes a sub-dock of that shelf (visually represented by the dock's control icon). Open the shelf, click on that control icon, and the dock contents pop out from the shelf.
I guess nobody has heard of XWindows Dock? Yes its free and supports real live reflections and supports other awesome features like stack, grid, etc. natively. But the only problem is its a bit buggy and the developer doesn't work on it anymore 
. It works fine most of the time though.
