1.) Open the terminal (Alt+F2, gnome-terminal or mintMenu/Terminal).

2.) Switch to administrator: type 'su root' then the root's password.

3.) We have to add the storage where this applet can be found. Type 'add-apt-repository ppa:dockbar-main/ppa'.

4.) Type 'apt-get update'.

5.) Now we can install this applet. Type 'apt-get install dockbarx'.

6.) Right click to the panel (blank part of it): Add to panel/DockBarX Applet/Add.

Doesn't work on mint 12. I get

"Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: python-gnomeapplet"

@alfalive - Add DockBarX applet to panel, as mentioned in the tutorial: "Right click to the panel (blank part of it): Add to panel/DockBarX Applet/Add."
In some cases, you may need to kill gnome-panel first.
You can also run dockbarx in a window, for debugging purposes, with the command
$ dockbarx_factory.py run-in-window

Step 2 is completely unnecessary.

Alternatively add ppa:dockbar-main/ppa via Software Sources then install via the Software Manager!
