It doesn’t offer the profusion of dock themes and button styles that DragThing does, but I found its feature set respectable in its own right, so I’m going with it. My personal preference in these things is to have a multi-tabbed drawer-style interface capable of launching apps, folders, and files, discretely tucked away when not in use, configurable as to things like color and opacity, with more than one row in each tab. I spent a good chunk of yesterday doing it, and while it’s not EXACTLY what I want, it’s close enough, and, most importantly, it will run on Mojave’s successor when that comes out next fall. It’s the closest by far of any launcher out there for power and configurability, at least insofar as it comes to duplicating my old DT setup. Station didn’t, uBar didn’t, DockShelf didn’t, SuperTab didn’t. None of them gave me the configurability options I wanted. It’s an odd comparison, but I think I know now what Roger Ebert went through after Gene Siskel died he had to go through an extended process of auditions with guest critics. Too limited.įinding a replacement for DT has been a laborious little quest. Excellence is a rare thing, and DragThing is excellent at what it does, but James can’t make a living making it 64 bit, so what else am I going to do? Settle for the dock? Not an option. I love what James Thomson did when he wrote DragThing. It’s an indispensable part of my Mac experience – one of the first apps I install on every Mac that I own.
