Dock Manager unlocks the capabilities of the Application Switcher and scroll bars for anyone to utilize.
If you're a Mac user running OS 8.5-9.x, Dock Manager is a utility that you might want to consider using. It is designed to enhance your experience by providing access to hidden features of the Application Switcher and scroll bars. It even manages your extensive collection of Sherlock plugins in a convenient way!
There are two versions of Dock Manager available: the standard version and Dock Manager Lite. The only difference between the two is that the Lite version doesn't include the Sherlock plugin management feature. However, if you're running Mac OS 9, you might not need Dock Manager at all - this release comes with Sherlock II, which manages your plugins for you. In that case, the Lite version of Dock Manager is still useful, since it provides a smooth transition between the two systems by maintaining your preferences and settings.
Dock Manager offers several key features that make it a valuable addition to your system. Firstly, it offers customization options for the Application Switcher dock and scroll arrows. It also allows users to save and load their own settings, customize keyboard shortcuts for application switching, or even turn off shortcuts altogether. Additionally, the software supports contextual menus and Balloon Help, making it user-friendly and easy to navigate.
In its latest release, Dock Manager has added several new features, including a check/uncheck all button when making Sherlock sets and an appearance-savvy warning dialog when switching back to default settings. The updated settings reflect the actual Application Switcher dock, offering you better feedback on what you're changing. Dock Manager Lite has also been updated to version 1.9, which brings it up to date with the standard version's code.
Requirements for using Dock Manager are minimal: you'll need the AppleScript extension and Application Switcher extension installed, as well as 2.0 MB of RAM (2.5 MB recommended). If you're looking for an easy way to enhance your Mac OS experience, Dock Manager might be the tool for you.
