Simdock

This is simdock, an eye-candy deskbar for Linux.

simdock example

Features

  • Starters in the dock keep track of launched applications, enabling minimizing, raising and cycling through its windows
  • Transparent background with or without without compositing, and in both modes the dock automatically updates when the desktop background changes
  • Fluid animations – icons get bigger when hovered and shortly transparent when clicked
  • Configurable size and icon placement
