Startly rolls out Docktopus Software Development Kit

Startly Technologies today rolled out the Docktopus SDK (Software Development Kit), providing developers with information about creating their own custom badges for Doctopus, its Mac OS X application which overlays custom badges on Dock icons. Badges are tailored to provide new ways for users to interact with applications, greatly extending the otherwise limited Dock, and increasing the usefulness of those applications as well as Mac OS X itself. Badges can be submitted for review at the Docktopus SDK website, and approved badges will be listed on Startly's website, accessible from the "More Badges" button within Docktopus. The Docktopus SDK is available for free, while Docktopus 1.0.1 includes a new badge magnification feature, additional preferences, and other improvements. Docktopus 1.0.1 is priced at $20 and requires Mac OS X 10.4 or later.
