Yeah, I agree – it’s improved, but I doubt I’ll ever be a fan of the OS X dock. While it’s certainly not as pretty, I actually prefer Dockbert over OS X’s dock – I think it makes the distinction between running apps and those that aren’t running more obvious, for one.

Yeah, OS X is far from the best OS to steal from. Unified menubar is horrible. :(

I really want the Deskbar to evolve also. It bothers me when developerns try somehow to
“imitate” Apple. I think that we have to create our own ideas. So far, so good.

Great job! I can not wait to go back to BeOS.

I don’t get the impression that it’s an attempt to imitate OS X, but I do have some reservations about the proposed changes as well. Several of the ideas appear to be in consideration because they’re widespread / popular on the current crop of mainstream OSes – rather than because they’re actually good ideas.

On the plus side though, it sounds like the Deskbar is going to gradually evolve into Dockbert – which I definitely support :)

It looks beatiful but my concern is why di we have to imitate OS X?
