Welcome to the new and improved DragThing 4 - the original dock designed to tidy up your Macintosh desktop.
If you are familiar with DragThing you should be able to get up and running quickly - DragThing 4 will find and upgrade your old preferences and docks automatically when it is first opened. Otherwise, please take a look at the enclosed documentation in the "DragThing Help" folder for an introduction and guide to using DragThing.
Please send any comments or questions to me personally at james.t@kagi.com - I hope you enjoy DragThing 4!
