Instead of RocketDock, try ObjectDock. Much better, in my opinion.
I use:
ObjectDock
DIM Mouse Scheme
Howard Email Notifier
Raptr Desktop App
Anything else I find just clutters up my desktop, which I hate.

I'm not too sure what features OD has over RD as It's been quite a while since I switched from RD to OD. I guess you'd have to give it a trial & see which one you prefer. I can say that I've noticed OD seems to have better performance & less crashes compared to RD. Also, RD had been abandoned for quite a while now.
Winstep Nexus is another good dock application which is still being updated regularly. I have yet to use it so I'm not familiar with it.
The DIM mouse scheme is great. The animations are smooth & are of good quality. I've only been using it for 3-4 days, but I can defiantly say that there is no way in hell I'm going back to the boring Windows default scheme.
Raptr, for me, doesn't really offer much. I just use it to track my game time across all platforms.

If you've installed it using the installer, then it will have put the correct animations to the correct pointers. It'll flash a noticeable blue when you hover over a link, which is easily recognizable from the normal pointer & It also flashes when hovering over a text box, it's just that it might be hard to notice at first. You get use to it.

But if i think properly, you are collecting games ONLY for linux. When someone want to get to Linux from Windows, he would propably lost ~50% (sometimes a lot/bit more/less) of bought games. And there isn't really much AAA games. Emulators? With bugs, low performance.

400 of 1800+. i have 310 linux games of 1500 total. most of them are indie games. thats not much. and wine isnt a good option. many games have a poor linux port (witcher 2) or it takes years until they get ported (borderlands 2). so linux for gaming isnt a real option

I didn't use any docks or anything. I just changed my Windows theme and that's about it. I used Placebo Black Market theme for Windows 7.

3RVX - Volume control program.
I have a really, really old keyboard which contains only standard keys and I'm too lazy to reach to the volume knob on my speakers. Plus I'd rather turn the volume up on the speakers and then control it through Windows. I find that Alt + mouse wheel up/down works very well.

Currently I'm only using Fences for better icon organization and Rainlendar as a desktop calender/reminder.

I know - title can be a little confusing. I mean, i'm searching for a themes and programs, whose will extend Windows in daily usage.
I am not searching for anything specific, and I just want to look what are you all using from that type of programs/themes/other things.
I also know Rocket Dock (nice, but still need to be updated, it's impossible to use only this, without standard windows taskbar).
Rainmeter could be nice, but i didn't find there anything useful - you know, 99% of Rainmeter skins are clocks and temperature meters (in computer, and outside of home).
I find that Launchy is very useful. And at last, I know that OSX Yosemite skinpack, but it looks worse than older ones.
So what are your suggestions? What programs/skins are you using? Or mby you found nice skins/plugins for mentioned by me things?
