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

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.  dry.gif

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. smile.gif

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

For a total resolution of 5120x1080 cool.gif

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  hysterical.gif
