overflow 20070920 204205 Overflow 2.5 now with Dock icon hiding, auto pop up and moreStunt Software has released Overflow 2.5. The update brings with it the ability to hide Overflow’s Dock icon, further clearing your Dock of clutter. Other new features are listed for you below the fold.

Overflow is a launcher app designed to help unclutter your Dock but still allow you easy access to frequently needed applications and documents.

The 2.5 update is free for all paid Overflow customers. New customers can purchase Overflow for USD$14.95.
The major new features are:

  • Dragging a file over Overflow’s dock icon now instantly opens the Overflow window to allow the file to be dropped on an application or folder contained in Overflow, making it an even more natural extension to the dock.

  • The Overflow dock icon can now be hidden and replaced by a status menu item.
  • The Overflow window can now be automatically positioned under the mouse when the hotkey is pressed.
  • Items in Overflow can now be assigned custom names.
