Gnome-dock 是一款模仿 Mac-OS Dock 的程序。Gnome-dock 只要具有 Gtk 环境就可以像 Engage 一样工作在 KDE 下。在我的机器上 Gnome-dock 需要 Beryl 才能运行，但是运行时还存在抖动现象，暂时不知道解决方案。 Gnome-dock 具有的特性如下： * mimics the apple universal dock in animation
- smooth graphics including composite transparency, SVG icons, glitz/cairo
- animations are all but flawless (minor tweeks and ticks are still around)
- auto-hide, only works on the bottom of the screen
- bouncing icons
- animated background (although it may be buggy)
- beautifully rendered text 运行 Gnome-dock 需要的条件的如下： # Cairo 1.2.0 (with glitz support = –enable-glitz)
# A recent librsvg (> 2.14.4 will do it, i’m using a rawhide librsvg2-2.15.90-1.fc6 package on fedora)
# glitz >= 0.5.3 (i’m using 0.5.6)
# Xorg/Xcompmgr - I have a utility Gnome Settings Visualeffects for configuring xcompmgr, which needs work if anyone is up for it.
# Xgl/Compiz 安装步骤：（ubuntu 的 deb 包是我自己编译的，大家可以选择安装。） 1.安装 Cairo。[tar.gz|ubuntu-6.06.1-deb] 2.安装 glitz。[tar.gz|[ubuntu-6.06.1-deb] 3.安装 librsvg。 4.下载 gnome-dock。解压文件后，进入目录执行：
make clean make 修改目录下 start-cairo-dock.sh 文件：
#!/bin/bash cd /home/latteye/soft/cairo-dock##此处为你gnome-dock文件夹地址## LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ./cairo-dock –no-glitz 5.执行 start-cairo-dock.sh 即可运行 gnome-dock。 修改 gnome-dock 上的图标需要修改源代码。打开目录下 cairo-dock.c 文件，找到如下代码，按格式添加后重新编译即可： static Icon g_aIcons[] = { {“gnome-fs-home.svg”, “Home”, “nautilus /home/latteye”}, {“clock.svg”, “Clock”, “/usr/bin/cairo-clock”}, {“web-browser.svg”, “Browser”, “firefox”}, {“email.svg”, “E-Mail”, “evolution -c mail”}, {“im.svg”, “IM”, “gaim”}, {“development.svg”, “IDE”, “eclipse”}, {“search.svg”, “Search”, “beagle-search”}, {“terminal.svg”, “Terminal”, “gnome-terminal”}, {“lockscreen.svg”, “Lock”, “gnome-screensaver-command –lock”}, {“stop.svg”, “Kill”, “xkill”}, {“logout.svg”, “Logout”, “gnome-session-save –kill”}, {“user-trash-full.svg”, “Trash”, “nautilus trash:///”} };
