“Docky is an awesome dock application for Ubuntu/Linux.
Docky started off as a simple theme for Gnome DO, another popular
dock application, and later own became a dock application on its
own. Docky is widely regarded as the most user friendly among the
dock applications available in Linux.“Quick Docky Review
* Looks and feels so lightweight.
* Simple and intuitive. Perfect candidate for daily use.
* The Docky tweak menu is perfect. Everything you want, nothing
you don’t.* Docky tweak menu has a plethora of customization options.
Options like Window Dodge and Intellihide and really useful and by
far the best I have seen in any dock application.”
