is there a mac like dock that i can use for linux? I'm trying to make fedora look like mac.

Using the GNOME desktop there are a few options that I have heard of, but I have only tried one. There is a program called Akamura or something and it is a dock with a crazy physic engine, but it only has a preset number of dock items and icons. What I do is just make another panel and put a bunch of application launchers in it and make it transparent and then move the stuff on the bottom panel to the top.

Now for KDE there really is a good mac dock alternative called KXdocker which acts just like an OS X dock and I have used it on my KDE desktop awhile ago.


I did a lil googling for ya and found this tutorial on how to setup a app called engage which is a themable dock for the enlightenment window manager but can work on GNOME
