I like the window preview option a lot, and as compatibility with 3rd party apps grows (can you imagine an OmniFocus-specific popup?) HyperDock can seriously aim at becoming the ultimate app to enhance OS X dock which, admittedly, has been looking the same for quite a while now. HyperDock is currently in beta, promising and free.
HYPERDOCK OSX WINDOWS
For instance, you can resize and move windows when holding down an assigned shortcut (great) or move a window between spaces using another shortcut or arrow keys navigation.
HYPERDOCK OSX DOWNLOAD
This Mac download was scanned by our antivirus and was rated as clean. The actual developer of this Mac application is Christian Baumgart. The program's installation file is commonly found as hyperdock.dmg. The most popular versions among the program users are 1.5, 1.3 and 1.2.
HYPERDOCK OSX FOR MAC
The last tab in HyperDock’s settings is Window Management, and as the name suggests it lets you tweak the behavior of application windows. HyperDock 1.7 for Mac is free to download from our software library. Moreover, there’s an “Options” panel in the same screen I couldn’t get to work on my computer - so I guess more customization functions are ready to be unlocked in the second beta round. I’m sure it’ll grow as more betas are released. You can create keyboard shortcuts for any dock item or specific apps sitting in the dock: the idea is great and shows great room for improvement, too bad the selection of shortcuts is pretty small right now. HyperDock also comes with some shortcut options and window management features that will make users (and our own Cody Fink) glad they installed the app. As for other settings, you can also decide to show windows from all Spaces or don’t show the bubble at all if the app has only one window open. You can also resize the bubble, blur the background, display the application name (I found this useless, you can spot the application name beneath the popup).Īpps such as iTunes and iCal get special preview bubbles: iTunes’ one displays artwork, info and music controls for the song you’re currently listening to. You can set the activation time of “preview bubbles” in the settings. When enabled, a stack-like translucent popup containing a preview of all the app’s windows will appear over the icon as your cursor moves over it. Like I said, the most important function is the window preview for dock items - something Mac users wanted for so long. It’s lightweight, it installs as a preference pane in seconds, all its changes are immediately recognized by the dock.
It does have one great addition, and that’s the ability to set up a Music tab to control your music, both in a playlist and Internet radio.I’ve been using HyperDock for a couple of hours now, and I’m impressed by the quality of the app.
However, unlike DockShelf, you can only place these docks along the edges of your screen. Upon download, it’s already set up with three tabs that include the “Main” dock, a dock for apps that connect you to the Internet, and Utilities, but you can make as many tabs as you want and utilize your own themes. You an change the color, the transparency, the font on the label, etc. One difference is that it allows you to make more changes to it aesthetically. Tab Launcher works much the same as DockShelf. By mousing over items in your docks, it will give you previews of all the open windows pertaining to that particular item. Apps, folders, stacks, and smart folders can be added to each dock with the ability to control each individually.
HYPERDOCK OSX FULL
You can opt to have DockShelf hidden out of the way when apps are in full screen mode to help your production. These individual docks can be collapsed on your screen leaving just a labeled tab visible. You can place them all around your desktop, helping you to designate different docks, between ones for productivity, social networking, documents, etc.
DockShelf solves that problem by offering you the opportunity to create as many docks as you want. One of the knocks against the dock is that while you can add as many things as you want, the size of the icons has to keep shrinking to fit more items in there.
