Have up to 10 Docks on your Mac
The Mac Dock is one of the simplest but most elegant features of Mac OS. However, its very easy to fill it up too quickly with lots of different programs. That's where Dock Spaces comes in.
Dock Spaces is a small application that allows you to have up to 10 different docks and switch between them anytime you want from the menu bar. The organizational possibilities are endless. You can have one for work, one for leisure, one for games, one for video players etc. No longer will you spend precious time scanning your dock trying to find the right application.
You have some control over customization such as choosing between 2D and 3D icons, adjusting the transparency and it also supports stacks and Growler notifications. The previous version was a little slow switching from one Dock to another but the latest version, which is fully Snow Leopard compatible, makes it almost instantaneous meaning you don't miss a beat accessing your different Docks and applications. However, it is still occasionally subject to crashes and instability so use it with care.
There really isn't much to criticize about Dock Spaces other than it will probably tempt you to go crazy on installing new apps as organizing applications has never been easier.

Crashed my dock.
This thing crashed my dock. My files were not erased thankfully, but I did have to put my dock apps back and that was a pain to find it all again. i found out a better way to create space for your dock and there are no downloads for this. If you have A mac os x, go to search and type in applications and click on it. Keep that open and go to finder. On finder, search utilities and drag your apps from your dock into it or search it with the applications folder that you opened. Put utilities app on your dock { utilities comes with any Mac OS X } and click on it to open up your apps. It worked for me well and kept my apps in a more quick reach location. Do not download Dock Spaces! What a pain this thing was.
Pros:
It was easy to download and is great if you get it to work correctly. Easy to download and is free
Cons:
Can cause your dock apps to be erased when you do not want them to. It does not always work correctly. Not worth the download. Pointless. Confusing and difficult to use. More
