I could also do this in 11 and yes I can add more properties but
I actually don't want to waste my time in it.

Opacity property is ok but it restricts you. Try to load real file icons from a folder, and that way it can really by like a dock application.
Instead of the opacity property either paint a translucent background on the form or have it screenshot the desktop, so it can look like a real dock.
It's very basic, but nice try.
