8 Of The Best Linux Dockapps

“How much functionality can you pack into a 64×64 square?
That’s the basic question behind many dockapps – utilities
that can be run on the “dock” of many popular desktop environments.
While most of them are designed for Step-type window managers such
as Windowmaker, these dockapps can also run in things like XFCE,
Fluxbox and Openbox. They include system monitors, volume controls,
program launchers, email checkers and more. Today we’ll check out
some of the more useful dockapps out there, and each will include
screen shots, descriptions, and any little notes that might help
when it comes to usage.

“All of the dockapps below are available in the standard Ubuntu
repositories. Most of these, and many additional dockapps, can be
found at Dockapps.org. Also, as hinted in the opening paragraph,
most of these are designed with Windowmaker in mind, which is why
so many start with the letters wm.
