See, I never get this. Rocket Dock was a pretty good dock/launcher/widget-thingy. 2008 right? That's 12 fcing years ago! Why not just open source the thing? Toss it to the community. Then some green coders can sharpen (or badly blunt, I suppose ??) their skills, and _everyone _could be better for it.
I know how much work goes into software, right? I guess it just bums me out to see this happen, and it happens _way _too much now. Go look through the system utilities you have used for years on Windows. The ones that _aren't _ flagged as discontinued have last updates in 2014 sometimes! ??
It does, it bums me out that these codebases are just sitting around collecting dust (and data corruption, had we not RAID'd the entire planet a few years ago ??). 12 years since the last push? This was good software. It was clean, efficient, not too greedy ( ?electron? ???? ), and stable.
Whomever developed it, you already have my money—have for years—it really was great software! Should you read this (?????) : push it to GitHub. Why not? 12 years?!?
So, I say to you, ?? to ??: "?????, but also ?????—and in conclusion, ?????.
I rest my ??,
????????.

no windows 10 support anymore
As nice and simple as this program is, it has a serious memory leak that will quickly eat up gigabytes of your RAM if left unchecked.
Was the best icon dock ever. Doesn't work on Win 10+ sadly. Been using True Launch Bar as the only true alternative, but if this got updated i'd be back to using this simple thing in a jiffy.
So RocketDock brings macOS Leopard dock to Windows Vista, and 7.
It's a cool program that it almost I think supports windows 10 like that tutorial that 2013Windows8.1 made on YT; How to make Windows 10 look like macOS Mojave.
So there is the reason up there. /\
According to AlternativeTo, RocketDock is discontinued. Can anyone recommend a similar app under active development?
How about Side Slide? I'm new to the Dock Party, but I'm very impressed with it
Becausde is still the better dock for windows. Period.
