I'm searching a replacement for Apple's Dock.

Constraints:

  • Should look/work similar to Windows 7's task bar
  • No Window groupings
  • Don't show windows of other virtual Desktops
    • ↑ This is very important and the reason for opening a new question on this topic.
  • paid / free ok

What I've found There are several tools out there. ubar is often mentioned. It's actually almost perfect for the job, but it also shows windows of other virtual desktops.

Contexts ($9.99)

Contexts kind of offers this functionality (You need to adjust the settings though).

However

  • It does not replace the dock (does not make it vanish)
  • It cannot be place in the bottom center (like the dock)
  • I does not provide a "open new window of this app" option, so you will ultimately still need to use the dock for these actions.

Nice-to-haves:

  • It offers Application-switching (Alt-Tab) functionality, that respects virtual desktops.
