Cairo-Dock
Cairo-Dock is an attractive, lightweight eye-candy dock to
launch
your applications. It has a family-likeness with the OS X dock, but
with more options.
Cairo-Dock uses Cairo / OpenGL to render graphics (in
correlation
with Compiz)
with full hardware acceleration. It is fully configurable
and fully customisable and can be used as a taskbar too. It is
compatible with Compiz-Fusion,
Beryl, Compiz,
Metacity,
Kwin, Xcompmgr,
etc., but it can also run without a composite manager (using fake
transparency). Cairo-Dock can run under desktop environments including GNOME,
KDE
and Xfce.
You can easily add applets in the dock or as a desklet.
Features include:
- Multi-docks
- Taskbar
- Launcher
- Themes
- Large number of plugins are available to extend
functionality including a basket, clock, weather, tray, electronic
mail, Wi-Fi, audio plugins, visual effects and more
- Turn the dock into an attractive panel
- Highly customizable
- Desklets can be rotated in 3D
- Dialogs have many different window decorators
- The Theme Manager can download new themes on the server for
many applets: Clock, dustbin, Cairo-Penguin, Toons, etc
- Keyboard shortcuts
- Use Cairo-Dock with or without OpenGL
