My brand spanking new Arch running WindowMaker. Screenshot taken with scrot.

Looks great and +1 for using scrot

Yes,that is the WindowMaker dock and is specific to WindowMaker.

Although, it may be possible: http://icculus.org/openbox/2/docker/

Interesting. Thanks Josh. Have not tried WindowMaker as I have been so pleased with OpenBox that I have not felt a need to venture on ward. Though, I must admit, the only other WM I have maybe thought about trying was Awesome.

Hi ichase Dock cna as securitybreach says can be used in other window managers.Here are a couple of links for Windowmaker that tell you more about the dock. There are tons of apps for the dock but only about 10% will run for me. Still I'm having fun so who cares.

Meanwhile back in Penguin land. A new way to show of Windowmaker and my new Dock app raised from the depths of 1999.

Yes, she's somehow beautiful to me without even seeing her face. I was captivated by the image when I first saw it. Had to make a desktop out of it.

Who needs fancy-schmancy cairo-dock? My Arch with Xfce works perfectly well for me. That side panel auto-hides, by the way. I just timed it right to get it in the screenie.

That is 3 monitors:
2 x 21" 1600x900
1 x 22" 1920x1080

For a total resolution of 5120x1080

Eh it is still not enough. That is the thing with multi-monitors: once you get used to having a lot of space, you still want more!!

I think I would be content with about 6 x 32" monitors, if I had the money anyway. I think it may be time for multitasking rehab
