What is KXDocker?

KXDocker is an innovative docker for KDE --  it's like Mac OS X's Dock, but more powerful.
KXDocker is a very big project; the goal is greater usability for the Linux operating system through desktop integration.
KXDocker is not just an "old school" docker!
The icons animation like parabolic OSX zoom is a plugin, so if you don't like this parabolic, you can write own.


Look at flash movie


Features

  • Skinnable bar with animated background
  • Rolling Icons, our most innovative feature!
  • AutoResize, the first docker which will fit always in your screen
  • With Drag'n Drop, you can easily add applications to your favorite dock, or add an application to an existing group. Drag an application over another icon to add into the same group or over a separator to add newest
  • Configurable Xinerama support: you may configure displacement
  • DCOP and Windows tracing, so you can use KXDocker like Window's List manager and DCOP running process manager
  • Speed! No computation at runtime
  • Support for many existing animation Designs(or you can can write your own)
  • Lots of external plugins to manage applications and sensors -- CPU, FAN, Analog Clock, and so on
  • It works everywhere! KXDocker is  a single executable, requires only the KDEDIR libs and KDEDIRS environment variable set
  • Text Everywhere! Read Look Understand: every icon may show many text rows to help you knoledge

Gnome users welcome! since 0.37 KXDocker started to work under more Desktop Environment, try it!
