docky
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.

Love this dock. First thing I do when I install a new setup is toss the panel and set this up.
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 !
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.
Allows you to get a the look of a Mac interface. But some docklets do not work (NPR and Weather)
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.
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.
