Cool software recommendation: Create a custom desktop sidebar using Runme

The free software Runme can add a beautiful sidebar to your desktop. You can add shortcuts, change icon styles, customize Runme's theme, display position, and special effects, etc.

It is something like the Dock in OSX, allowing you to quickly launch programs without going to the desktop or opening the Start menu and interrupting your current work.

Perhaps you have used similar software before, such as Object Dock, but if you are already tired of Apple's colors and effects style, you can try a different taste and give this small and convenient tool a shot.
