This gets a -1 from me, not that it matters. Here are some thoughts from the top of my head:
1. Docky is, as far as I know, not a "Hey, let's implement yet another OS X feature"-project. It is far more. It supports/will support all the actions Do has*, which neither the OS X dock or AWN does. (An example to make you understand the possibilities: With Docky you can add your Pidgin friends, Tomboy notes, Firefox bookmarks and even the Minimize window action as items to the dock.) 2. There are also aesthetics to consider. Docky currently has a very neat parabolic zoom. AWN probably never will because of their "every dock item as an unique process" implementation. Docky's animations when it goes from "list" to "search" mode would probably not be easy to implement in AWN either because of this. 3. Finally, I see no reason at all why the Do/cky developers would want to throw away hundred lines of code just because there is "this other project that does the same thing, kinda". So, if you're already using a dock - use the classic theme. - Kalle fre 2009-01-16 klockan 05:20 -0800 skrev BostonPeng: > I have to say that I'm loving 0.8, but Docky is striking me as > reinventing the wheel since there's already several docks already in > use (such as Avant and the Cairo-Dock, the two docks that the Mac4Lin > project supports).
