Getting started

Install NiveDock and find your way around in two minutes.

Install

Download the installer from the official NiveDock site and run it. No administrator rights are needed – NiveDock installs just for your Windows user.

If Windows shows a SmartScreen warning, first verify the source and publisher of the file. Do not run an installer you do not trust.

First run

NiveDock starts, hides the Windows taskbar and shows two glass docks: the main dock for apps and widgets, and the small System Dock for the tray, Wi-Fi, volume, language and the clock.

What to try next

  • Right-click the dock and choose Add widget.
  • Click the N to open the launcher.
  • Open Settings → Appearance and pick a theme.
