DockArt is a software that displays the embedded artwork of the currently playing track in the dock. It was developed in response to a Usenet request.
DockArt is a software that displays the embedded album art of the current iTunes track in the dock. The app has a minimalist design and its sole purpose is to show album art. If iTunes is running and the song playing has cover art, it will display in the dock. If there is no art embedded, it shows an image of a missing picture.
DockArt has several key features to enhance the user experience. One such feature is "Skew Art In Dock," which allows you to tilt the dock tile slightly to fit in better with other application icons. Another feature is "Show Unread Podcasts," which adds a badge in the upper-right corner showing the number of unplayed podcasts.
"Show iTunes Badge" is another feature that lets you use the original iTunes icon as a badge on the dock image. You can also adjust the size of the badge using a slider. DockArt's "External Art" feature enables users to search for artwork in the folder that contains the music file. If there is a single JPEG file in the directory iTunes maintains for each album to reduce space consumption, enter the name of that artwork in DockArt.
The "Display Art On Desktop" check box enables users to display the album art on their desktop as well as in the dock. Although it may not look perfect, the OS scales it to fit the screen. To use the "Replace iTunes Icon" option, you'll need iTunes 4.1 or later and QuickTime 6.4 or later.
In conclusion, DockArt is a lightweight app that accomplishes its purpose precisely. It has several features that add to the functionality of the app, making it an excellent addition to the arsenal of any music lover.
