KXDocker is a discontinued and obsoleteprogram for theLinuxoperating system written by Stefano Zingarini.[1] It resembles the "Dock" ofMac OS X in that it is mainly used as an application launcher. It supportsthemes,plugins and a few extra features (there is documentation on creating your own themes). Other such docks available for Linux andKDE includeKiba-dock (implements physics simulation allowing the application icons to be dragged around and initially looked to be more suitable for theGNOME desktop environment), Kooldock and Ksmoothdock.
