Description:

A full fledged dock application that makes opening common applications and managing windows easier and quicker. Docky is fully integrated into the GNOME Desktop and features a no nonsense approach to configuration and usage. It just works.

Docky provides an application launcher, running application management, and various "docklets" including a CPU monitor, weather report and clock. It is similar to other docks such as AWN and cairo-dock.

Applications can integrate with Docky to add extra items to their context menus or modify their icons to display more information. This package includes integration helpers for a number of applications, including Banshee, Rhythmbox, Deluge, Tomboy and Zeitgeist.

Docky is derived from the GNOME Do "docky" interface.

Thibault 1 month ago	5	Mon logiciel de Dock préféré parmi ceux disponibles sous Linux, simple et fiable, je l'utilise depuis de nombreuses années et j'en suis toujours autant satisfait !

Binom 1 year ago	5	Отличная штука
gamerperson 1 year ago	2	It makes a little line above it, which is really annoying, and you can not put a application menu on it. I don't really know why anybody prefers docks to a panel.

cmoi 2 years ago	5	Léger, stable et plutot agréable :)
wussupi83 2 years ago	5	Absolutely love this app! Really helps with my productivity. My only request would be to add the option to have the Docky only reflect apps on the current desktop. RIght now, if I am on Desktop #2, I can see the same windows I have open on Desktop #1 and if I click those programs, I am redirected to Desktop #1. Sometimes this is useful but other times I wish the Docky would only reflect the apps I have open on the current desktop. Again, thank you for all your hard work on this project! It is loved.
cmdr_gicu 2 years ago	2	My browser can't go full screen now because of "docky".
juankvillegas 2 years ago	4	I'd like it to let files to be dragged and dropped on the application icon to be opened. It adds the file to the dock instead. Apart of it, I like it.
ryuffhant 2 years ago	3	how to add start menu on docky?

WillieNAz 2 years ago	3	I liked it under Rafaela XFCE but it crashes in Sarah Cinnamon
silverbluep 3 years ago	2	crashed all the time, so im removing it. Otherwise excellent app.
Achede_hd 3 years ago	2	it is not customizable, Cairo-Dock is much better
JCH2 3 years ago	2	[REVISED: TOO MANY CRASHES. TIRED OF MANUALLY RELAUNCHING IT.] While nice, glitchy with VMs running, not straight forward, and prone to crashes.
olyerickson 3 years ago	4	I've used docky for years and generally love it, but since I installed 17.3 "Rosa" 64b it constantly crashes. PLEASE FIX!
ckayte 3 years ago	3	It constantly disappears. I installed this to make it easier for my mother to find her favority programs but this defeats the purpose when it has to be manually restarted to get it to work. Disappointed.
cancercancer 3 years ago	4	Aside from some programs appearing and disappearing from the dock, I haven't had any major problems with it.
alex_ander 3 years ago	5	Bombe
bluebow 3 years ago	5	Works good and stabil.
harisuciha 3 years ago	2	crash,
MagicMint 3 years ago	3	Easy to use and good looking: it’s true that “it just works”. But several docklets don’t, and docky isn’t well integrated with UPower — that’s why it vanishes when the laptop is disconnected from AC supply (see http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=210079), and why you won’t get any battery readings, even with the latest PPA.

marcelo_atie 3 years ago	5	Perfect!
Ghost_Hacks 3 years ago	3	Basic Dock app. Compared to other docks I found, this was the 2nd best. Not a lot of customization and nothing like the Mac OS dock.
Rebel450 3 years ago	5	actually a nice and slim dock for Linux - if you want more, then get Cairo Dock...

SadieYuCn 4 years ago	5	Cool
RamBurner 4 years ago	5	Over the years I have tried all of the dock applications, docky is what I always come back to.It is the best made. I do wish that Google would write their code right so that Chrome can be easily added like all other applications. It's unfortunate that there has to be a desktop shortcut in place to have Chrome added to docky.
kiama 4 years ago	5	So cool
naith_kk 4 years ago	3	Smooth but doesn't have the flexibility and seamless/intuitive usage that I need.
kotopes 4 years ago	5	удобен.
harithM 4 years ago	5	If it crashes in mint 17 cinnamon, install dconf editer and enable compositing-manager property of matacity. Docky haven't crashed since I enabled it.

pattersonv 5 years ago	4	unfortunately cairo-dock wouldn't work properly on my Asus laptop so I decided to give docky a try; I'm glad I did, it is a superb alternative
ben2talk 5 years ago	5	I started to love using Linux more with the arrival of Gnome-Do and Docky. I'm using Synapse now, but if Docky disappeared it would be a very sad day.
essx 5 years ago	4	siiiiiiiiip
storm20200 5 years ago	3	While this dock looks fantastic unfortunately it keeps crashing for no reason so it isn't very reliable.
BeeDung 5 years ago	4	4 stars, This makes my mint 14 look more Beautiful

Lee-Larsson 6 years ago	3	****1/2 - may have to do COMPOSITING ! just to keep 3D effect running..Must Leave Static!
FinalClass 6 years ago	2	There is no way to ungroup windows in docky. In the web applications era, lack of this option makes this tool useless.
opiumpoetry 6 years ago	5	better than awn
mercury 6 years ago	5	Even better than a mac dock!!! Love linux

DIONISIS_POLITIS 6 years ago	4	very good, but in Mint13 can't make the weather work (??)
RASIF420 6 years ago	5	I love doky
Danko8321 6 years ago	5	Docky has proven to be a lot better than Cairo-Dock, as well as having made a lot better the configuration and customization of it. It is simple, fast, elegand and it works really well out-of-the-box. So, IMHO, it beats Cairo-Dock even though it is a rather young project and still has a long way to go. Anyway, it is amazing and it is absolutely recommended.
hardlywired 6 years ago	5	Where once there was cairo-dock, now there is docky. Stable, fast and looks awesome!
windyweather 6 years ago	4	Nice. Add by running an app then doing a PIN. But no PIN for LibreOffice on LinuxMint. Where's the forum?

bboyhugo 7 years ago	4	nice dook
fritz_t 7 years ago	4	i like it!
Cybeet 7 years ago	4	If you want your Linux distro to look like Mac OS X, you should download this. Some might love this, some might hate this. I personally like it with Gnome 3. If you need just a simple dock, download this. If you don't want dock, download this. It's simple as Docky. :)
210L 7 years ago	5	had some problems in ubuntu 11.10 but works great in kayta
vendettaboom 7 years ago	4	Es en realidad bueno este dock

niowfi 7 years ago	4	I like it. 4* beacause some programs like Libreoffice cannot be attached to the dock.
djbruce26 7 years ago	5	Fantastic dock, never gave me any troubles. I love the usefulness of the colored dots. I can't imagine how much harder it would be to use linux without Docky...

lourdchien 7 years ago	5	Great, and well integrated in the GNOME desktop. LM11
Inoki 7 years ago	5	The only comparable difference between this and AWN is that Docky is very light.
Tannn3r 7 years ago	5	Works great!
SeventhReign 7 years ago	5	Fast. Not as feature rich as AWN, but still great.
Soolrak 7 years ago	4	Very nice.
UncleNinja 7 years ago	1	mono
magicbus 7 years ago	4	Decent dock. Have used it in the past, and it is definitely a good choice, but I prefer Cairo-Dock.

bAPTIST 7 years ago	5	Excellent!
JonBjSig 7 years ago	4	Awesome except for one annoying thing, the auto-hide always bugs out so you can't see the dock through anything.
Lex8P 7 years ago	2	requires composting to work... enable composting and system behaves weird
LinkOS 7 years ago	1	.... crap !
gnoxy84 7 years ago	5	Love it!
ish05 7 years ago	4	AWN was glitching on me. This is not. Also, dockey seems faster as well

Reigenspieler 7 years ago	5	Großartig! Hat meine Taskleiste ersetzt.
romanybob 7 years ago	5	Easy, fast, looks great. Not as many options as awn (avant window navigator) but for some reason I love it! Need to have Gnome or compiz composting turned on.
dogtown163 7 years ago	5	Best of the best!))
coolwolf455 7 years ago	5	simple easy powerfull
oneparadoxyPL 8 years ago	5	Nice looking app loader... and its just nice add to wallpaper in HD. Awesome. PL: Bardzo ładny dodatek do pulpitu. Odpalacz programów a jak ładnie zdobi.
mikefreeman 8 years ago	5	Excellent dock. Very stable, simple, and elegant!
ChirmiPlay 8 years ago	4	Docky + los íconos del LMDE = Linux es más bonito que Mac. El único problema que tengo es que interfiere cuando estoy jugando algunos juegos en pantalla completa (sí, está configurado para que se oculte, pero sucede igual).
idude_aldunate 8 years ago	5	me gusta mucho
Sol_Badguy 8 years ago	3	avant window navigator is better...
kuecho 8 years ago	5	很漂亮，不过好像可定制度比以前低了。

horro 8 years ago	5	Works Great. Simple and elegant.
marksuci 8 years ago	5	100% najbolji dok
guv999 8 years ago	5	Simple, elegant dock - not a panel replacement
FunkyWhale 8 years ago	5	Awesome. More robust than its depreciated gnome-do integration.
Xyie 8 years ago	4	While docks aren't normally my choice interface, this one works nicely and simply. No need to install compiz under Xfce or GNOME, just enable compositing! Only downsides: some of the features don't seem to start for me (like the battery monitor) and if you're using multiple desktop environments, but want it to start only on one of those, you have to manually start it. (Or else make some sort of script only on that desktop, I guess.)
LeoGhost 8 years ago	5	This is a biased review as I haven't tried the other dock programs, though after installing this one I didn't need to. It just works, not too fancy but has enough features for the average user. It's smooth as well, not a resource hog. Thumbs up.
damien-tt 8 years ago	5	Sweet! 4 stars!
jessie0514 8 years ago	5	Nice dock as compared to other w/c is eating so much ram. This one is definitely awesome.
tamoghna4 8 years ago	4	Looks good, works well on KDE also.
gesthal 8 years ago	3	avant window navigator is better.

dme3ha 8 years ago	4	drag n drop, easy on my 5 yrs-old notebook, simple and practical
terravoice 8 years ago	5	It 's so practical and elegans !!!
Delta_Magic 8 years ago	5	Awesome dock! For my needs, Docky is superior to both AWN and Cairo. You can't customize every single detail, but there are certainly enough features available to play around a little. The dock gives a very elegant feel from the start and the only downside I've encountered thus far is that the feature that is supposed to show the Deluge transfer speed in the dock isn't working.
lewah 8 years ago	4	Good but too simple (cannot offsetting position)
zalesthebard 8 years ago	4	the first really non-copy of max toolbar
Shakz 8 years ago	5	The search function thats available in Gnome Do is missing but it has a 3D feature that makes it look flippen awesome. Defo my dock of choice. Functional and pretty!
artic112 8 years ago	5	Very beautiful and very powerfull application
superstargoddess 8 years ago	2	Not very customizable, unable to put it anywhere except on the screen edges. Weather applet did not work.
