Your favorite dock panel?

[Sparky]

I'm using Cairo Dock, but I'd love to hear about what others are using and how satisfied are you with it?

[oops]

... I have tried like you cairo-dock (a nice looking), plank (light, and not too bad) and I still have a desktop starter for them ... but my favorite is none/nothing.

For me, dock and workspace have always been a must. Xfce panel with "workspace" item and "launcher" items as dock, does well. What changed me to Gnome, is the "Workspaces to Dock" extension + dock (favourite apps). Not visible but as hidden to have clean desk.

I like using plank and synapse (semantic launcher or albert) in combination.

How do you combine the synapse launcher with Plank?

I think that you can start Synapse by a system keyboard key combination (CTRL+Spacebar for example)

I've been an Openbox user for ~10 years, initially I used a pretty small Xfce panel, until I discovered Tint(2). For quite some time I've been using Tint2 in combination with the Openbox Configuration Manager / Dock - settings.

This allows me to place my Tint2 panel on the Openbox screen, in a position that puts it "on top", in the title bar of any full size windows that may be open; with the screen gadgets still in view & therefore useable. (Vivaldi browser was the only one where it didn't quite fit right - still usable though - as Vivaldi is "different", not using the "standard" layout.)

I find this position saves space & is very convenient (though I think I'm a bit of a loner there... ). I also have a conky that does the same kind of think on the other side of the title bar - showing my External IP: (I use a VPN always) & my Down: Up: bandwidth usage. The conky too, I find to be very conveniently located.

I won't post an image here in the forum, as I think that management prefers us not too, though I don't use other sites to host my images. (I just thought that I do have the odd image in the Manjaro wiki, so I'll link to one of them below.)

You'll see the Tint2 panel in the top right hand section of the Worker title bar in the images found here (I made that wiki page long before I made the conky mentioned above - so its not in the images):

[edit:] I guess I should mention that Tint2 in my MX setup has the MX updater; Network Manager; PIA-VPN; udiskie; Volume-icon & the Xfce-Powermanager applets, & of course the Tint2 clock in its tray. :)

you can also start Synapse by the green item on left:
