This is simdock, an eye-candy deskbar for Linux.
- 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
Currently, simdock has to be compiled manually. The main dependencies are wxWidgets and GTK3.
