Sleek user interface, outstanding UX

• Stack your items in style

  One of the most impressive features in FishEye is its ability to display stack buttons similar to those available in the Mac OS X Leopard. The stack button allows users to quickly select an item from a button while providing an elegant user experience.

  FishEye now provides a new Fluid background behavior in addition to the default Fixed behavior. In Fluid mode, the Dock’s background will automatically shrink and grow as the zooming process takes place.

The control can be brought back instantly when needed by simply mousing over the edge of the dock position. This convenient feature is also easily customized.
