Cairo dock vs awn.

Hi i m looking for some nice and functional os x like launcher for xfce. The result is a very stable solid and reliable application dock with a lot of features and plugins. This may be off putting to some but ultimately people shouldn t view it as a negative. Cairo dock is a system dock similar to awn and the dock in mac os x.

Perhaps one of the best docks on linux to mimic the look and feel of the mac os dock is cairo dock. Avant window navigator cairo dock and wbar come to my mind. Awn is probably a compromise between the two extremes and cairo dock is for those who want total customization and complete control by getting your hands dirty. Docky better than awn and cairo dock post by jesica tue aug 18 2009 7 12 am i mean with docky i get my docky to auto hide and my panel to uato hide on top i get a nice wallpaper and i put firefox and icons i want to use in my docky so i delete all my icons on my desktop that my desktop is empty.

And im pretty sure docky has application menu s too. Hope this helps anyone who is confused about docks the next vid will have the unity interface on a laptop computer or desktop not netbook. I personally like awn the most simply because it strikes a good balance between customization and performance. When comparing docky vs cairo dock the slant community recommends docky for most people in the question what are the best linux app launchers docky is ranked 5th while cairo dock is ranked 16th.

Awn dock with stacks applet like leopard on ubuntu duration. It s not as fancy as awn but cairo dock is very configurable and supports some slick graphical effects. The most important reason people chose cairo dock is. Awn own menu yama cairo menu cardapio s gnomenu etc.

Howto run awn cairo dock or docky gnome do without compiz pclion threetwentyfour. The developers try very hard to make it a drop in replacement for mac users and fans of apple and to get a comparable application dock.
