I doubt this will be taken into consideration..but maybey it'll interest someone into making a .dsl extension..

At higher resolutions or lower sometimes programs and text get hard to see.

The dock would be a great addition to a program launcher, and add a bit of eye candy to :)

When the mouse passes over a program icon on the dock it is dynamically resized; along with launch feedback..

Here is an example:

That would be an alright extension, but for two things....
1) It's a Windows application
2) It's not open source.  Licensing issues may prevent redistribution.

There is a dockapp called wmdrawer which provides similar functionality.

i'm not sure, but i think there is a gdesklet that is similar to this.

anyway stardock is a great software company. windowblinds, desktopx, iconpackager, and objectdock are the premier skinning apps for windows.
