Thomas Rapp recently released an update to his 1.3 WBDock utility.

As well as now supporting custom images for icons, there's a WBStartup-like feature, allowing users to specify a WBStartup folder with icons to execute on boot.

Is anyone else using it? If so, how does it compare to the much loved AmiDock?

That looks pretty danged cool. It's bigger than the Amidock since it includes the text labels and original icons. But the fact that you can drop a folder on there is very bad ass.

I tried it out on my CDTV. On the plus side it does look nice and being able to use folders is a big plus over AmiDock.

It is much slower than AmiDock. If I had an 020 or 030 and flicker fixer it'd definitely be my first choice. As I don't, I'll stick with AmiDock (which is fine too!).

I switched to it on my A500 as it solved the Path issue I was having with AmiDock. It works great.

use it on my A500 but haven't tried on my A1000 since AmiDock does the job...I use Thomas's WB3.1 dock on my A1200 and A4000 and love it <3
