The program doesn’t require installation. Simply run the executable and create your stack. Creating a stack involves adding application shortcuts, and folders to the stack. Once it’s done, click on “Create shortcut on desktop”. This will place a shortcut to your stack on the desktop. Run this shortcut to open the stack.

You can drag this shortcut to any convenient location like to the quick launch bar where it’s more accessible. If the stack somehow doesn’t impress you, then you can go for the grid view. Additionally, you can customize the looks and behavior of the stack starting from transparencies, animation, colors, icon size etc.
