Does anyone know of a OSX dock that I can install in Kubuntu? I want to be able to easily add applications to the dock.
 
I have AWN, but I can't seem to add applications to the dock. Am I missing something?
 
Hehehehe. Dont forget to have a look at the different AWN themes out there.

Cool. Will give it a go. Thanks. Must just find out how to hide the taskbar first.
 
Right click.. and close panel.. thats what I did. I turned AWN into my task bar :P
 
There should be an auto hide option in KDE.. you can make the panel hide to the left or the right. I am not at home... so I cant tell you verbatim.. (I hate silly workstations :( )

5.40.2.2. Hide Buttons and Auto Hide

Depending on your screen resolution you may find that the panel takes away too much of your precious screen real estate. The KDE panel offers two ways of saving screen space: you can either use hide buttons to manually hide the panel when you don't need it or you can configure the panel to automatically hide when it's not needed.

When the panel's hide buttons are enabled you'll see buttons on either side of the panel, with arrows showing to the screen borders. If you click on one of these buttons, the panel will slide away to the desired direction. After that, you'll only see a remaining show button that will make the panel show again. Check the Enabled option to enable this feature. If Highlight on mouse over option is enabled, the hide buttons will be highlighted when the mouse cursor is moved over them. Using the Size slider you can change the width of the buttons.

When the auto hide feature is enabled, the panel will hide when the mouse cursor has not been moved over it for a configurable amount of time. If you move the mouse to the panel's screen border it will show up again. Check the Enabled option in the Auto Hide frame to enable this feature. Using the Delay in seconds slider you can configure the amount of time the panel will wait before it hides.

Thanks dude. Saved me some time from searching the net. It works. I use Kubuntu at work as well.
 
We have MS access databases .. *sigh*.. and MS partnership agreements.. and all that kinda skulduggery.
 
I haven't tried AWN yet (busy getting now) but kiba looks quite nice imo, I've been having a few troubles with it so hoping AWN is better and so far it seems "shinier" so might end up just sticking with this :)
