	Dockyard
		Dockyard is a "dock switcher" for Mac OS X. It allows you to have multiple docks and switch between them with one click.
		Dockyard now comes in three forms: a menu extra, which appears in your menu bar, a widget, which appears in your Dashboard (Mac OS X v10.4 only), and a normal application (called Dockyard Manager) which allows finer control over your docks.
		If you want to use the Dockyard menu extra, you must first get a program like Unsanity's Menu Extra Enabler to allow it to work, as a restriction on third-party menu extras has been imposed.
