RocketDock is a smoothly animated, alpha blended application launcher. It provides a nice clean interface to drop shortcuts on for easy access and organization. With each item completely customizable, there is no end to what you can add and launch from the dock.
Now with added Taskbar support your minimized windows can appear as icons on the dock. This allows for better productivity and accessibility.

So if u like this….
U should try this, i tryed alot of dockletbars and stuff… but the solution and faster way for every pc especialy laptop is launchy.
launchy.net
Just use a hotkey typ the programm in like 3 letters and it opens after a enter hit. I like it more than clickin with the mouse and havin special super docklet effects… I use it on my mac, too instead of the docklet.
well how heavy is this application really? i have used some before but the memory footprint is what makes me go back to the good old windows taskbar.
