OSX Dock Application

[buzlink]

Is there an application that will mimic the OSX Dock, such as Object Dock in Windows?

Thanks

There is something for KDE, not sure though if you can run it under Gnome (I am using it with KDE):

How would I go about installing this program.
Thanks for the link!

re: gnome - dock.

what a weird site, I don't even see a download link. That is too bad, it looks cool!

You can download the archive by clicking on the picture.
To install it, check this post.

Cheerio !

Thanks, Kobalt. It looks like it might be a bit over my head for the time being, as I can't get XGL/Compiz working yet.

I made an OSX looking dock yesterday.
It's kiba-dock

Your desktop rocks! I'm using Kiba-dock too, but, I find that my ability to configure it is broken somehow. (For example, using the Kiba-gset utility fails to apply settings; Gconf doesn't list all options and changes don't stick.) Maybe I used a flaky cvs snapshot, or something. I'm stuck with the default configuration and that horrible "barber shop" dock background. Two questions for you, if you don't mind: 1.) Can you list the steps you took to install Kiba-dock properly? Step-by-step so as not to be too confusing. 2.) Can you tell me how to configured it to look like an OS-X dock? I especially like your 3D Word icon. Thanks; much appreciated!!!

Don't worry I'll try to help you young fella
First you probably have it correctly installed. I've those problems too with kiba-gset. I did all the editing in gconf. To get all the options in gconf I played around with kiba-gset(try to change as much as you can) and they will show up in gconf i think.

To make it look like OSX:
There are quite many options so I writing those I think you'll need only.
In geometry:
cap_margin = 0
cap_size = 20
icon_size = 65
margin = 28
radius = 0.1
In style:
animated_background = false
border_alpha = 30
border_color = #ffffff
border_width = 0.6
dock_alpha_1(and 2,3,4,5) = 0.3
dock_background = gradient
dock_color_1(and 2,3,4,5) = #ffffff
dock_style = classic
prelight_alpha = 0.4
prelight_color = #ffffff
show_all_borders = false

I think that's all.

The word icon I got from googeling around. In google search for pictures and firefox.png, amarok.png and so on. You'll probably find what you look for.
