WMdock
About
The WMdock plugin is a compatibility layer for running WindowMaker dockapps on the XFCE desktop. It integrates the dockapps into a panel, closely resembling the look and feel of the WindowMaker dock or clip, respectively.
Usage
- Compile and install the package as usual
- At the moment it's best to set the size of the panel which is going to swallow the plugin to something larger than 64 pixels
- Right click on the panel and add the WMdock plugin
- For now, just close the properties dialog that will pop up
- Open e.g. a terminal or the XFCE “Run Program…” dialog
- Start your invaluable dockapps e.g. wmcalclock, wmsmpmon, wmhdplop etc. pp. WMdock will swallow them.
- Now you can open the properties dialog to change the order of dockaps and the command line used to start an individual dockapp
- On your next XFCE session startup, WMdock will automatically come up with your dockapps as configured.
