Re: Applications Dock functionality (launcher, lister, switcher combined), no eye candy required?
All docks currently in existence require a composited screen. They all are designed to mimic the animation-heavy OS X dock.

I am looking for an application which can function as applications dock (combined functions of applications launcher, lister and switcher), similar to OS X dock, but I don't need the eye candy (transparency, 3d effect, icon enlargement, bouncing icon, etc.) (in fact, when I use OS X, I set its dock visual effect to minimum). I actually prefer low weight low resources application, something like WindowMaker's application dock (not its widget dock) but works well with other desktop environment (i.e. can do drag drop). It should also available in various distro, but specifically at present I need it to run in Fedora. I tried Docker, but when I run it nothing show up in the screen. I tried SimDock, but it has several issues (does not seems to show an application is running, has errors, does not work well with GNOME). I tried GNOME Do (to get its Docky) but it has error (Failed to contact configuration server) that I still debug. Avant WM and CairoDock seems to be too heavy weight (need composited screen). Any other suggestion?

Well, that statement is definitely incorrect since WindowMaker
windows manager do have its own dock (with combined function of
applications launcher, lister and switcher), without requiring
composited screen or any heavy animation. Unfortunately it is
tied to WindowMaker.
I just want to know whether there are other applications like
that outside WindowMaker.

I am not sure what you mean by docks as I have barely used OS X a few times. But I do use WindowMaker from time to time and I use an application called docker[1] to dock applets in WindowMaker. Docker is usually used with WindowMaker but it also works on other desktop environments, you can even specify the dimensions of your dock (afair). Apart from this I use an app called kdocker to dock regular apps to the system tray in other desktops environments like XFCE or Gnome. So I have things like Thunderbird tucked away in the tray with kdocker. You might want to try that if docker doesn't work for you. Both of these apps are available in the Fedora repositories and are extremely light weight, absolutely *zero* eye candy. :) HTH [1]https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/packages/name/docker http://icculus.org/openbox/2/docker/ -- Suvayu Open source is the future.

Re: Applications Dock functionality (launcher, lister, switcher combined), no eye candy required?
I misspoke. WindowMaker's Dock indeed fulfills all your requirements. However, I thought you did not want WindowMaker. As for AWN dock, GNOME Do docky, they require compositing. Most of these OS X dock type applications all require a composited screen. However -- a quick google reveals that cairo-dock is an OS-X style dock that does not require compositing (even though it works very well with it). I have never tried cairo-dock, but I believe it is available in Fedora's software pool. I think it is comparable to AWN dock. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
