These can be accomplished in Ion2 as well by writing additional drawing
engines. I am personally not going to waste my time in that, but if new
engines are written by other people, I may include them in Ion3.

Get the latest release and load the scratchpad module, mod_sp. In principle
you could even create a whole toggleable floatws as follows:
local ws=some_screen:attach_new({type="WFloatWS", layer=2})
defbindings("WScreen", {
kpress("Mod1+section", function(scr)
if ws:screen_of()==scr then
if ws:is_mapped() then
scr:l2_hide(ws)
else
scr:l2_show(ws)
end
end
end)
}
Of course, until there are any frames on the WS, it may be a bit
confusing when nothing has the focus when it is toggled on. I prefer
just the single scratchpad frame.

The old dock will stay of course. I have not decided whether the same
module will implement both types of docks or if the other kind of dock
will be a different module.
You might also want to try mod_sp with xmms (or, preferably) other
audio players.
