Mmm, good post. But….
I come here finding docklets, and that are Docks or Dockbars xD
You have some preinstalled docklets with any software listed above.
[…] like docklets here is a nice one, called Circle Dock and uses the same icons and skins that Rocket Dock and Object Dock use. All the icons and skins are basically high quality PNG […]
I agree with franco, I came here looking for docklets. Why would I be looking for docklets that are already included in the application I have installed? Your point makes no sense ReniX
