Fences as a Dock

Published on March 3, 2009 By jeff graper In Fences

If you want to make a dock without running another app, just make a fence at the bottom of the screen. Fill it with your favorite dock icon/shortcuts and hide the windows taskbar. You can use "standalone stack" to make fly outs and exclude the dock from autohide. Nice extra feature for this program.

Interesting, and creative....but why not get OD+? It'd give you many more possibilities...and you could also keep Fences as well...which, at this point doesn't support any skinning.

I agree with the OP and voidcore. I used to run OD but found it easier and less overhead intensive to just make a fence for my Dock Icons and cut OD for Fences, which I like better.

Till now I used ubericon for icon effects. It gives effects even with explorer icons. Will sure check out 'standalone stack' if its better.

odd, I never found OD+ to be resource intensive. I use Fences as a 'warehouse'...OD doesn't even bump my CPU/RAM.
