People will suggest that you use ObjectDock or the perhaps outdated tabooware Y'zDock.
moshi made a litestep dock before; that's all I know.
I imagine that without magnification you could do this with xLabel. Of course if you're willing to compile the animations per icon you might get away with it. 32-bit PNG images for xLabels with AlwaysOnTop AlphaMap where you compose them against the bar graphic. And perhaps a single 'tooltip' label that's the same but Ghosted where you draw up the text for each icon; move around and show that label per icon's onEnter event.
