Application dock

- - -

The dock is the column of icons located by default on the right -side of the screen.

- -

Any application can be attached to the dock. To do this, open an -application then simply left-click-and-drag the application's icon to -the last position on the dock. The dock will "attract" the icon and it -will remain on the dock until removed by the user (left-click-and-drag -the icon off the dock - it will disappear.) If you have saved your -Window Maker session prior to logout (or set Window Maker to autosave -your session upon logout) any icons you docked will automatically -reappear at your next - and each subsequent - session.
-

- -

The dock has it's own menu for user configuration.
-

- -

The dock can be configured to remain on top of maximized windows. To -do this, right-click on any docked icon then select "Keep on top" from -the application icon menu. This will keep the entire dock visible -(maximized windows will not be allowed to cover the dock). To allow the -dock to be covered, uncheck the "Keep on top" item in the application -icon menu.
-

- -

The WMDock icon (by default, with the GNUstep logo) can be dragged -sideways -to switch the -the entire dock from one side of the display to the other.
-

- -

Dragging the WMDock icon downward will move the dock off the display -with the -exception of the WMDock icon itself, which will remain visible. To -restore dock visibility, left-click-and-drag the dock back on screen.
-

- -

Starting an application

- - -

Double-clicking the icon of a docked application starts the -application.
-

- -

An application that has not been launched normally has an elipsis -(three dots) in the bottom-left-corner of the icon and appears in full -color as shown below. 
-

- -

Unlaunched application icon
-

- -

When the application is running, the elipsis disappears from the -bottom-left-corner of the icon and the icon becomes "greyed out," -giving a visual cue that the application is already open.
-

- -

Launched application icon
-

- -

A docked icon that continues to show an elipsis and remains "full -color" even after an instance of the -application is running indicates that the application's settings have -been modified to allow multiple launches from one docked icon. To do -this you must open the application and modify the -"application specific" settings in the "commands -menu" of the application to allow -"shared application icons."

- -

Using the "launch" command in the "application icon menu" for the -icon is another way to start an application from the dock.
-
-From version 0.80.0 on, the dock can "steal" appicons. This feature has -nothing to -do with Autoattract Icons. When you start an application from somewhere -else -than either the clip or the dock (menu or terminal), and the appicon -exists in -one of them (clip or dock), this appicon doesn't appear at the bottom -of your -screen. The appicon existing in the clip or the dock "stole" it. As a -result, the -appicon is the same as the one used to start the application from the -clip or -the dock.

- -

- -

Customizing

- - -

Left-clicking and dragging an application icon to the dock adds this -application to the dock. Obviously, this means the application is -running!
-

- -

Miniwindows (windows of -minimized applications) cannot be docked. The small titlebar on the -miniwindow differentiates it from an application's icon.
-

- -

Dragging an icon off the dock removes the docked application. 
-

- -

- -

Configuring

- - -

There is a dock menu for each icon. Right-clicking the icon displays -the "application icon menu." Select the "Settings..." option to -configure the application. 

- -
-

dock

-
- -

The application's path and -its arguments, the command for middle-click launch, and the icon -employed can -be changed in this panel.
-

- -

Shell commands such as redirection cannot be used in the command -field.
-

- -

The desired icon must be in one of the directories displayed -in the panel while browsing. New directories can be added from the Search path preferences
-

- -

A checkbox allows you to start the application when Window Maker is -first started. (Note: You want to be -careful with this. If you have, for example, your terminal -emulator, your file manager, and your browser set to start when Window -Maker is started you'll get an open terminal, an open file manager and -an open browser every time -you start a session! Normally you will only want to start certain -dockapps - "regular" applications like a terminal emulator or browser -can be started after your -session is up and going.)
-

- -

From version 0.62.0 on, a checkbox can be used to prevent accidental -removal from the dock.
-
-From version 0.70.0 on, a new field has been added for middle-click -launch. Entering, for example, "firefox" into a docked -application -settings panel will launch the Firefox browser.
