Greeting once again folks.

Of the myriad of programs I talk about there are two and only two programs that I support full time.
Many of you will know me from Rainmeter, but I am here today to talk about recent events of; Circle Dock

Up until a few months ago Circle Dock was a program. With the abrupt disappearance of our beloved programmer VideoInPicture (Eric Wong), Circle Dock just died, and was hanging by a thread.
Late last year a new programmer came forward and has picked up where VIP left off, and Circle Dock is out of Beta and in full releases now.

In the last few months Markham (Current Circle Dock programmer) has developed and delivered and ever expanding experience, But that is not all!
There is a completely redeveloped Settings and Help System, that handles the numerous capabilities of Circle Dock. The Circle Dock Home Page is
under my jurisdiction, and is being almost completely revamped.

But ; now for the big News:
Circle Dock Version 1.5.5 is now available!!!

But wait there's more:

Circle Dock is now available both 32 and 64 bit!!!!

Ladies and Gentleman, welcome to the new full release of Circle Dock


Circle Dock has been posted several times, and many of it's "What does Circle Dock allow you to do", so I will not re-post the obvious goodies,
I will highlight the updates!

Circle Dock's code is cleaner leaner and faster than ever before.
With a whole list of new options and settings
New expanded language support: more than 50+ languages are now supported

But wait...yes there's more!!!!

A Call for Docklet Coders, and Docklet suggestions. Circlet API coming to Circle Dock
We have just announced the development of a Circlet (Docklet) API that will be released around the coming release of Circle Dock 2.0
We attempted to integrate Docklets in to Circle Dock, and code Circle Dock to use the Legacy Docklets that are currently available, unfortunately
this is not do-able for 2 primary reasons.
1.) Current Docklet Coding is not Compatible with Circle Docks multi layer design
2.) All Legacy Docklets available are 32bit and are not fully, properly, use-able in a 64bit environment.
So the Circle Dock developers got together and we decided to develop a new API that will meet the needs of Circle Dock, but also allow for the
creation of 64bit Circlets (Docklets)
So we are looking for Coders to build on the coming API, and suggestions for the Circlet that Circle Dock user would like to see
I could go on and on about the coming API, but Here is the link for more information:
http://circledock.wikidot.com/dev

here is a bit of a bonus: if you get in on the up coming API now, you may have the opportunity to help and identify what is need for you to build your Circlets!!! Markham is standing by to take suggestions and discuss needs to build Circlets now!!!

The response to the revival of Circle Dock has beyond expectation, with almost a million downloads, in 182 countries, in just a few short months.
We hope that if Circle Dock does not replace your current launcher, it will work with your current Launcher and desktop uses.

We are always open to suggestions, and implement many of the suggestions that have come in. So Circle Dock is not ignorant of the end user needs,
in fact we encourage your thoughts, suggestions, and complaints as this is how Circle Dock grows to meet the needs of almost all users.

So swing by and see us, and download the latest release of Circle Dock. Give Circle Dock a....LOL..."Spin" and see for yourself.


I leave you with a screen shot of my current desktop that has Circle Dock, Rainmeter, Rainlendar, STabLauncher, all wrapped in a
  Windows 7 64bit package:



Hope to see you using Circle Dock soon

Thanks for your attention through this third rate cheese posting.
