Re: Application switcher like Paradocks?

There's an application switcher that I like called Paradocks. It
has the ability to place the icons for running programs in the
menubar. You can switch applications by clicking on the icon
for the program you want. You can also filter the applications
that appear there, so you don't have apps that you never switch
to.

The problem is that Paradocks doesn't seem to work right under
Leopard. I've contacted the author but haven't received a
response. And Paradocks hasn't been updated in several years, so I
don't have much hope it will be updated for Leopard.

Does anyone know of any other application switcher that works
like Paradocks?

DragThing can *almost* do this - the icons for running programs don't
appear in the menu bar, but they can appear in a tiny dock up in the
corner just under the menu bar. You can include/exclude by rule, just as
you describe. m.
