So there's that too.Įxpect bugs and possible frustrations with either solution. All mentioned applications hooks onto the Dock or extends it while having the Dock in the background for the purpose of e.g the Time Machine recover screen.

There's a free trial for ActiveDock2 available too.
DockMate DockView the latter is by the same author as the ActiveDock2 program I mentioned earlier. I guess you're talking about previews? when hovering Word in the Dock? Then there's DockMate and DockView.

It's kind of hard to make a proper suggestion as the taskbar on Windows and the Dock on macOS are two different approaches to handling apps and application windows
I wouldn't suggest ActiveDock2 as it appears somewhat alpha still. I was looking through what I might have in my arsenal for macOS and there's SwitchGlass that you might take a gander at, it's no replacement - as the Dock can't be replaced only misplaced and extended upon by using third party programs such as SwitchGlass and Panelicious. What if you utilize the Dock's minimize to Dock where you'll have your Word documents that are currently open on the right-hand side of the Dock? What are the differences in appearance for each Word document. It speeds up my daily use of OSX dramatically and gives the UI a little custom flair.There's no other way than go back to using Windows and the taskbar for that feature unless I can't comprehend what you actually mean? isn't there just a Word overlay for the documents you have open on Windows in the taskbar? Long story short, the app is worth the $10.00 price tag for me. When you hover over a running app your shown a preview :Įxample of 1 app with HyperDock preview that has sub windows

(Image source : ) – Above image is a screenshot of what Aero looks like, when you hover your mouse over a running app or in this case, a group of apps – you’re provided a glimpse of the running app itself that you can click to “restore”/Maximize the app with.īrings this very same feature to Mac OS, and its changed the way I use MacOS. Instead of just having a little icon representing each open file (running program) stacked ontop of one another, Microsoft built “Peak” into their UI that would show you a little screenshot of the running app so you could quickly identify it without having to open it, thus allowing you to more efficiently locate the file/program you have open and get back to it.

Mac does this even worse, I – having used mac os for years, am sometimes still slowed down by this. The issue arises when you want to find a specific file, you sort of have to – sort through the running apps to get to the one you want. This gets a little muddier when you have say, 5 word docs open and windows has grouping enabled, so instead of having 5 items on your taskbar – one for each file, you have a group of icons layered ontop of one another, one for each running instance of an app (your 5 files). If you have two different apps open, its typically not an issue managing running apps, you want your word file, you click on the running task bar app that looks like word and boom – your open file pops up. So, as most of you probably know – windows has a task bar, its where your OPEN/RUNNING apps live and how you organize programs while multitasking. I actually really enjoyed some parts of it, in this post were going to talk about one of my fav features of Aero and how you can add it to the mac. Aero was a set of UI tweaks that Microsoft built into the OS to make the interface look a little niftier (More nifty? #English). So one of the cool things to come from the fiery train wreck more commonly refered to as “Windows Vista”, was Aero.
