Greetings folks

I am here to promote something other than my usual Rainmeter rhetoric

Today it is teh announcement of Circle Dock v1.5 Release

Circle Dock had died over a year ago with teh disappearance of our beloved VideoInPicture, but now Circle Dock is alive and running. With new programmers, and additional implemented concepts.

Circle Dock has come so far in short period of time, There is an extensive list od Functionality and eye candy...The balance is good, and this makes for an excellent tool.

There is only one true Circle Dock, and this is it!

What Circle Dock Version 1.5.3 Allows You to Do:

• Drag and drop your files, folders, and shortcuts onto a circular dock that you can re-size.
• Rotate the dock with either your mouse wheel or the keyboard arrow keys.
• Change the image shown for the icons and change the skins (compatible with icons and skins for Rocket Dock, Object Dock, etc.)
• The dock appears where your mouse is by pressing a hotkey (default is F1) or your middle mouse button, other options available.
