Tab Launcher - a good alternative to the standard dock in Mac

The separator in the Dock can not be put - some consider this a huge minus. Thus one could divide the program into categories. For example, first go system applications: iTunes, App Store, System Settings, then Multimedia: Quick Time, VLC, well then - a software to work with the Internet: Safari, Chrome, and other such software. For those who can not tolerate standard Doc, we have an application that will facilitate his life - Tab Launcher. If you look at the application as a whole, it is all the same Doc, just the kind of profile, and it can be in any part of the screen. When you start the app you will be greeted and distribute icons from your OS X Dock of the three standard categories. Distribute, it must be said, correctly: in the System tab, you can find the application on the standard utilities, such as Disk Utility and System Preferences. In the Internet tab will get browsers, instant messengers, and Maps, and on the Home tab settle app stores, Contacts, and Finder.

Naturally, you can also add their own tabs, where the "scatter" applications as you want. From the settings, you can note the large customization interface: originally supported several skins to all Launcher`u Tab, you can edit yourself. It is possible to change the position of icons relative to the edges, transparency, shadows, lights, and her style - the full expanse on OS X Android style.

Open the application in the same way as the standard Dock illuminated light points, and when you hover the mouse over them show a thumbnail preview of the window like in Windows 7. All the actions are accompanied by cute animations that can be customized to your taste. You can also customize and behavior of the Tab Launcher when interacting with the mouse cursor to it. For example, set the setting for the opening only clicking the tab or hover, but always with a completely open dock launcher.

And all would have been fine if not for an unfortunate disappointment after I had already decided to try to give up in favor of the standard Doc Tab Launcher, namely - notice. They just simply do not have. That is, if you write to mail or Skype, the icon will not be this way signal. Do not be annoying "bob" and display the number of unread messages. For me personally, this is a serious disadvantage because it can go past me some important information, and I found out about it only when he'll decide to see if anything had been updated in the reports.

For the rest, the application is very interesting. I'm sure many will find the use of this utility, by grouping your commonly used application shortcuts. For those doubting the convenience Tab Launcher - on the App Store there is a Lite version of the app. Complete the price, by the way, is not large - only 129 rubles.
