With Circle Dock you have the possibility to toggle the visibility of the dock by moving your mouse to any edge of your screen. In fact, the term "Circle Dock" is now a bit of a misnomer since it can also present itself as an elliptical dock. At the base is the (hidden) Main Window which is responsible for controlling the application as well as sending and receiving messages from the Dock’s other windows.
