RocketDock is able to show live updates of minimized windows as in Mac OS X, and in Windows Vista it can show live thumbnail updates on the taskbar. It is compatible with MobyDock, ObjectDock, RK Launcher, and Y'z Dock skins, and is compatible with and borrows from Stardock ObjectDock's publicly published Docklet API.

The RocketDock gallery had a thriving community where users could upload and share skins, icons, docklets, wallpapers and other customization resources for the application. However, PunkLabs closed the RocketDock gallery on 6 August, 2018. Visiting the link now redirects to the official site of the developers of RocketDock, where a download for RocketDock is available.
