The idea is excellent. I found it very good to accommodate icons in a different way. Very useful. I just hope that a stable version is published, since the beta has some problems (when Windows is suspended or hibernates the application disappears or stays frozen)

It's a pretty decent application. I wouldn't mind if it used a little more ram to be smoother.

What is Circle Dock?

The idea behind Circle Dock is that the dock should appear where your mouse is instead of you having to move your mouse to the dock like with other programs. This is accomplished by making the dock a circular or spiral shape so that it can be placed anywhere, even near the edge of the screen. The offscreen portions of the dock are easily reached by just scrolling with your mouse wheel or arrow keys.

A user defined hotkey combination is used to make the dock appear and disappear. By default, this combination is CTRL-WINDOWS KEY. You can change it in the settings area of the program.
