OK, here’s what I’ve been working on recently: NeXT Dock,
a Cocoa application which brings the NEXTSTEP dock back
(and bang up-to-date) on Mac OS X (Jaguar or later).
Plenty of customization capabilities, but faithful to
the NS dock’s functionality and look-and-feel. I was
going to construct some slogan around a “step
back/step forward” sort of theme, but frankly that would
be sickeningly corny. That’s not to say that I won’t do
so later on, though.
Here are some work-in-progress screenshots, for your viewing pleasure.
