Magic Formation is a Circular Dock Launcher [Downloads]

Posted on March 6th, 2009 in General by sudha_murugan

Windows only: Application launcher Magic Formation adds a circular dock that can be triggered by hotkeys or mouse gestures —just draw a circle on the desktop to make it show up. Using the application is fairly simple—just draw a circle to make the dock show up, although adjusting the mouse gesture sensitivity through the options dialog is probably necessary to trigger the dock more easily. There are plenty of other advanced options in the preferences, from using a hotkey to trigger the dock to assigning a mouse key instead—making this interesting application worth a look for anybody in the market for a better application launcher.
