Dockbert, an application launcher/switcher similar to the MacOS X dock, may see revived development in the near future. IsComputerOn has reported that TeamMaui are looking for a C++ coder to continue Dockbert’s development. From the details posted, they plan to clean up the settings and existing features, as well as implement some new features such as a replicant drop area and support for 128px icons.

It works quite well as both a launcher and a Deskbar replacement (I’ve used it alongside Deskbar for a few years now) but it doesn’t seem to compile with newer versions of OpenTracker, so an older version appears to be required to use Dockbert on R5. Hopefully, Team Maui will be successful in finding an interested coder to update Dockbert.
