Using a dock for better workflow

Post by paul »

Hello,

I wanted to use a dock on my laptop (KXStudio), but no linux dock since to like KDE so much...
Does anyone of you have any experience with docks? Tips, hacks, ...?
Keep on rocking in the free world!

What I have done on kxstudio with KDE is make a 2nd kpanel at the top of the screen to use as a launcher of my favorite music apps.
I have it set to auto-hide, and it provides a quick way to start the apps I use frequently. With this I never use the regular KDE menu launch music apps (don't find the Multimedia menu to be very well organized).

Have you tried EasyStroke Gesture Recognition?

You can run anything with a simple stroke of your mouse - it's great to have some special mouse buttons for this.
Runs very well on any desktop I tried (Gnome, KDE, LXDE, XFCE, OpenBox).
