New in XWindows Dock 2.0.1 Beta (Mar 22, 2010)

  • Stack. Finaly, the stack feature was integrated with XWDock 2.0. Sure, this is not the same Stack that was earlier, but even now it very useful. The new stack was implemented like a plugin.
  • Exposé. This feature is the easiest way to browse through your opened applications and windows. Unfortunately (or maybe forutunately) this truly incredible function works only on Windows Vista and Windows 7. Just click the icon of running application and wait (or use Alt+Click) to show all windows of this application.
  • Slow down the animation with Shift key. Surprise your friend with smoothest animation.
  • Stability and performance improvements.
