Paradocks is basically the reincarnation of the Classic application launcher found on OS 9, but is also integrated with the OS X Dock.
Paradocks creates a floating window containing the icons of all currently running applications, and allows you to easily switch between applications by clickingthe icons.
Paradocks also allows you to control the items displayed in the Dock. You can group related applications, files and folders into sets. Sets of items can then be added or removed from the Dock quickly and easily. Normally you would create sets for different projects you

If ParaDocks just showed the various instances of an app when I clicked or right clicked the button, this would be what I am looking for. Unfortunately clicking an app's button does not let you select the instance you want so this app is of little value to me.
Guess I keep looking for some way to manage my running apps on the Mac.

Safari has tabs. You use tabs to have as many windows as you like without taking up any additional screen space.
But if for some strange reason you really want to clutter up the screen with multiple Safari windows -- use Expose to manage them rather than minimising. You'll like it better, I promise!
(Finder -> Help Menu -> Expose if you need more information)

Yes, I use tabs often. I open up a window to manage my servers, using tabs for the different sites, I open a window for my e-mail, again using tabs, and organize my work this way. If that is doing it wrong, I guess I don't understand computers after all.

When you have many applications open, and/or the menubar has many menus in it, such that there is not enough roomo for all the menus or all the apps, ParaDocks goes on top of the menus, so that they are all but inaccessible. though this happens only with an ungodly amount of apps open, or a pitifully small screen, it is still an issue. ---though, I must add that Apple itself neglects this: if a developer designs an app with gajillions of menus, so that they don't all fit, the last menus are covered up by the icons in the upper right portion of the menubar, and are absolutely inaccessible (can anyone say "contextual menu for things that don't fit"?).
Great app other than that (and mebbe that's just apples fault anyhow).

I like ParaDocks because I can put a real big icon in the upper right corner, and I can make it invisible. When I want to switch programs, I just zip my cursor to the upper right, and the big icon appears, and I can click anywhere on it. It gives me my list of programs, and it works fast.
This way, I don't have to use quite such fine-tuned hand-eye coordination simply to switch between programs. To me, ParaDocks is simply another option. And it's free. If anything, I wish they would add a launcher capability to it.

I can just look down to my system dock and see what's opened. Also, although it seemed to open the apps quicker than system dock, sometimes it didn't.
However, a beautifully wriiten app...I wish it did a little more though....

Maybe a spin-off of this exact setup could be made in the future to take place as another simultaneous (floating) dock!...?
I've seen so many people wanting more out of their docks - and wanting to see multiple, simultaneous docks, as opposed to switchable docks. Seems like what you've got going would be that perfect solution...dunno how that would be done, heh - I'm not a programmer - just an idiot. :P
but the program is very nice looking and simple... and the purpose it serves now is still very great ;)
keep up the excellent work!!!

In special for my second monitor. So: for my powerbook display I use the normal dock and for the flat screen the paradock!
