    It's pretty nice, but I prefer Gnome-Do's Docky.

    I liked it but it took up way way way too much screen space on my netbook. I imagine it is just fine on a regular screen.

    Install Gnome-do in a composited DE, and go to options and turn on "Docky". The dock will appear and you can customize it.

    Wbar is great because once it's there, it's there and it's clean and fast. Docky is great...it would disappear on me sometimes though...Wbar won't...this will probably get fixed in gnome-do as it's very active development. I'm getting ready to put one of these on now....prolly Wbar.

    i've experimented with cairo dock..awn and docky.
    for me..AWN was my least favorite..
    cairo dock was easy to use..very customizable and it looked best.
    I like docky b/c of the search bar..

    what i did was experiment with a few different ones to see which one i personally liked best..just a thought.but you could also do that..
