ObjectDock vs RocketDock
AlmightyHeretic If you're looking for a good replacement to RocketDock then this fits the bill. It's able to launch shortcuts to 64-bit programs and it has a built-in docklet called Flyout menu, which you'll find very similar to Stacks. It's not quite as user-friendly but I'm still finding options for customization. - TaskbarX gives you control over the position of your taskbar icons. View 8 alternatives to TaskbarX
