Step1
First goto your favourite search engine, then to a quick search for “RocketDock”. Click the first link.
Step2
It should take to to the RocketDock website, then navigate to the download section.
Step3
Click the “Download RocketDock!” to automatically download the newest release of The software. After the
download is complete run the setup to install it onto your computer (you may need to restart your computer).
step4
once its installed onto your computer goto the desktop icon (or your programs menu) and run Rocket doc. You
can get started by dragging icons from your desktop on top of the RocketDock to add them to the menu, to select something you want to run/open all you do is hover over the icon on RockeDock so it bubbles up (zooms in) and click it, also to delete an icon from the RocketDock jut drag it off and let go and is will automatically delete itself to the recycle bin.
Step5
Now we will briefly go over the Docks settings, you can select the language you want to view it in, you can
check some boxes to either make it run when your computer boots up (Run at Startup), have the settings for the
Rocket dock just apply to your Profile/User on the computer you are using, select when you minimise a window
whether it should go to the dock or the taskbar. When you minimise a window to the Dock you can see it shrink
like on vista. Tells you weather that program is running (shows on the icon) open an application while its
still running, and lock the items so they cant be deleted.
Step6
The Next Dock Settings is for the icons, weather it should have high quality images for the icons (good for
fast PC’s, choose lower quality if you have a old PC). Change the opacity/ transparency of the Dock and the
icons, choose how big the icons are when zoomed in, how the dock reacts to the user hovering over an icon, how
much it zooms, how many icons across the Dock zoom in to make it smoother. And how fast/slow it zooms.
Step7
If you have more than one monitor You can choose which one to use it on, where in the screen the Dock should
be placed, weather its onto of all windows or behind active windows, choose weather you want it centred or
not and set how close it is to the edge of the screen.
Step8
Here you can choose the Theme (they can be downloaded from the RocketDock website) the opacity of the theme,
weather it tells you what the icon is or not. Change the font/colour/shadow of the text, and the opacity of
the text.
Step9
Here is the last setting choose what happens to the icon when you click it, if its animated or just stays
still. autohide the Dock after a certain amount of time so its out of the way and make it pop up when a mouse
is next to it for a certain time.
