Customizable Mac-style dock with widgets
Winstep Nexus Dock is a fully-customizable dock designed to give you some of the aesthetics and functions of the Mac OS X dock.
If you are sick of the Window's task bar and want to modify your computer's interface a bit, the Winstep Nexus Dock is a great, free way to try out a dock. The Winstep Nexus Dock is feature-packed with tons of themes, widgets, and options to configure behavior and looks. It can even serve as a fully-functional replacement for your taskbar if you wish. It supports Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 8, and 7 platforms.
The Winstep Nexus Dock is familiar because it shares so many features and looks of ObjectDock, one of our favorite taskbar replacements. While they look similar, we found that ObjectDock is actually more intuitive to use and customize. There's no doubt that the Winstep Nexus Dock is feature-packed but the menus and options are spread all over the place and you really have to learn to use the program.
There is a pro version of the Winstep Nexus Dock available which allows you to create multiple docks, nest docks, create shelves, and much more. We think that the free version will be enough for casual users, though.
Overall, the Winstep Nexus Dock is a great, free dock app that can be as simple as an app launcher or as functional as a Windows taskbar replacement. Check out ObjectDock if you want something with a more intuitive interface.

Whoa! Nothing but awesomeness!.
Yes. It's nothing but awesomeness. I'd say that it is professionally designed to look good on your desktops! Another thing I noticed was it's so customizable. From how it looks like (themes, icon sizes, effects on mouse over), sounds (if you prefer them), to its behavior (as to how fast the icons react, how fast they zoom in and zoom out).. and a lot more! One of my greatest downloads. This works perfectly specially if you're the one who likes to have almost everything the way you want it. Thanks for the app.
Peace.
Pros:
+Customizable
+Does not lag (I'm using Core 2 Solo Processor, 2 GB RAM
+Looks great
+User Friendly
Cons:
-you may need to click on "Apply" button first for the changes to take effect, does not show changes real time. (BUT not a biggie for me.) More
