What Circle Dock 0.9.2 Alpha 7.6 Allows You to Do:
Launch your programs from a circular dock.
Drag and drop your files, folders, and shortcuts onto a circular dock that you can resize.
Rotate the dock with either your mouse wheel or the keyboard arrow keys.
Change the image shown for the icons and change the skins (compatible with icons and skins for Rocket Dock, Object Dock, etc.)
The dock appears where your mouse is by pressing a hotkey (default is F1) or your middle mouse button.
Tested on computers with multiple monitors, Windows XP/Vista, 32-bit & 64-bit, and requires only .Net Framework 2.0.
Automatically works on all Windows Vista computers and most Windows XP computers.
A new settings panel that allows you to customize many options. It updates your dock as you make changes. See it change in real time! No need to press an OK button.
Multi-language capable. Just translate the English.ini file to the language of your choice.
Change the image used for the dock icons with the easiest method out there: Just set the program to "Icon Replacement Mode" in the right-click menu of the centre icon and you can change all the icon images by just dragging and dropping new PNG images onto them! Huge time saver when you are customizing your dock!
You can now toggle the visibility of the dock by moving your mouse to any edge of your screen. By default, the left and right edges are used for toggling. No need to press a button!
Rotate the dock with your mouse wheel or arrow keys (customizable).
Click sensitivity adjustment for tablet users.
Reorder the dock items by draging and dropping them over each other.
Organize the dock items using dock folders.
By default, clicking on the centre button does not open the start menu. You can enable this in the settings panel.
Includes French, English, Portuguese, Russian, Italian, and Dutch language files. (New & Updated for Alpha 7.6)
Uses the default high resolution icons in Windows Vista.
New easy method of upgrading from older versions.
More shape options and a properties panel for each dock icon will be added for Alpha 8.
More animation and smoother performance are being looked at.
Ability to run from a USB key, docklets, live synchronization of the dock icons, and more will be added later on.

very interesting... but it's alpha !! ¬¬

[Webtrance]

Sweet! Fairly low mem usage, allows live preview document icons, such as .xls, .xlsx, .docx, etc.

I don't see an option to add the recycle bin, but you can create a shortcut and add it that way. It won't display as full when trash is in the bin. Not a huge deal, since you can hide all desktop icons through their properties (hidden), which will leave the bin on the desktop, as well as my computer, network places, administraor, if you wish to have those displayed I'm curremtly displaying the dock with all desktop icons hidden except the recycle bin.

Thanks for a cool app!

Probably not. The closest thing I can think of for Linux is Circular-Application-Menu. But so far it's not really as nice looking as this one is.

[Villain]

it may be possible to run it under #develop and mono.

[AeroGlass]

How Can you get it to start on startup or is that not possible yet?

[JohnnyV1500]

very nice guys

[ForumUser]

now it became better and better... In the first version for sure, I'm going to write a blog about this...

I remember he re-code it to C#. that's a hardwork! wow...
