Docky is an AWN look-alike which was formerly integrated with GNOME Do. Docky is now an independent application that has maintained many of its goodies like the in-built plug-ins and aspires to bring in more functionality as time goes on. This application is still at an early alpha level but worth a try as it is very stable for an alpha. But it is still an alpha release.<\/p>\n

Plug-ins currently available in Docky include battery monitor for notebooks, bookmarks, clock, CPU Monitor, Mounter plug-in, Network Manager, NPR (website), Trash, and Weather. Added to these are new comers Gmail notifier and recent documents.<\/p>\n

To install Docky in Ubuntu Karmic add this PPA to your \/etc\/apt\/sources.list file:
\n
\nppa:docky-core\/ppa
\n<\/code>
\nand install with
\n
\nsudo apt-get install docky
\n<\/code><\/p>\n

To personalize your docker start the application as so;
\nApplications -> Accessories -> Docky, then right-click on the \u201canchor\u201d icon and hit \u201cSettings\u201d.
\nThe \u201cPanel Mode\u201d turns Docky into a Gnome panel that spans the width of the screen.
\nDocky can also run multiple docks; hit the \u201cNew Dock\u201d button in \u201cDocky Configuration\u201d to fire-up another dock. You can dock almost anything you want to with a simple drag \u2018n\u2019 drop. Just as you drag-in to dock, drag-out to un-dock shortcuts.<\/p>\n

Docky is a free download for Gnome desktops. Source code is also available.
