MATE Dock Applet 0 73 Released With Redesigned Window List Drag And Drop Support
MATE Dock Applet 0 73 Released With Redesigned Window List Drag And Drop Support
MATE Dock Applet was updated to version 0.73 recently, getting support for rearranging dock icons via drag and drop (only for the GTK3 version), updated window list design and more.
Dock Applet is a MATE Panel applet that displays running applications / windows as icons. Its features include:
- pin and unpin applications to the dock and launch pinned applications directly from the dock;
- minimize/unminimize running app windows by clicking the apps dock icon;
- use an indicator for each app to show when it is running;
- supports multiple workspaces;
- displays an (optional) indicator for each window of the same app;
- the running app indicator can be dark or light, so it should work with any panel color;
- can be added to any MATE Panel, regardless of size or orientation;
- allows changing the MATE Panel color to the dominant color of the desktop wallpaper (this can be applied to all panels or just the panel containing Dock Applet).
The most important change in the latest Dock Applet 0.73 is the added support for rearranging dock icons using drag and drop. This feature is only available for the GTK3 version of the applet, meaning that as far as Ubuntu is concerned, it only works with Ubuntu MATE 16.10 (currently in alpha).
Another change is a redesigned window list, which appears on mouse over.
Besides a new look, the window titles are ellipsised when they are too long, and the window actions (like the Firefox "Open a New Window" and "Open a New Private Window") are now available in this menu (were previously only available in the right click menu). Also, the option to pin/unpin an application is now displayed at the bottom of the list to make it more accessible.
You can see these changes in the screenshot above. For comparison, heres how this menu used to look in previous Dock Applet versions:
And finally, the window list (displayed on mouse hover) is no longer closed when selecting a window (unless the mouse no longer hovers it). This allows users to easily cycle between multiple open windows.
Install MATE Dock Applet in Ubuntu MATE or Linux Mint MATE
The latest MATE Dock Applet 0.73 is available in the WebUpd8 MATE PPA. For Ubuntu MATE 16.04, 15.10 and 14.04 / Linux Mint 18 and 17.x, the applet is built using GTK2, which means it doesnt support rearranging the dock icons using drag and drop. For Ubuntu MATE 16.10, the applet is built with GTK3.
To add the PPA and install the latest MATE Dock Applet, use the following commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/mate
sudo apt update
sudo apt install mate-dock-appletIf you already had MATE Dock Applet added on a panel, restart the session (logout/login).
To add the applet to the MATE panel, right click the panel, select "Add to Panel", search for "Dock", and click "Add". Thats it!
MATE Dock Applet is available for Arch Linux users via AUR(git version). Currently, the package uses GTK2.
To download the source code, report bugs, etc., see the Dock Applet GitHub page.

Lightweight Dock Plank 0 11 0 Released With Docklets Support More
Lightweight Dock Plank 0 11 0 Released With Docklets Support More
Plank, the simple, lightweight dock written in Vala, which is used by default in elementary OS, reached version 0.11.0.
The latest Plank 0.11.0 adds docklets support (the first four icons from the dock in the screenshot above are docklets: show desktop, clipboard manager, clock and trash), migration to GSettings for dock settings and more.
Here are the most important changes in Plank 0.11.0:
- added docklets support (the following docklets are installed by default in this release: Clippy, Clock, Desktop and Trash);
- use GSettings for dock settings (themes and dockitem files remain at their location);
- consolidate public API (breaks old themes and dockitem files, those are transitioned accordingly if possible);
- added "CascadeHide" theme option;
- Hide "Keep in Dock" wile LockItems is enabled
- added runtime support for GTK+ 3.19.1+;
- show descriptive tooltip for external-dnd actions;
- expand dock on external-drag without enabled zoom too;
- handle file-monitor moved-event where launcher was target;
- follow environments setting whether to show notifications;
- added TooltipsEnabled setting;
- touchpad devices are able to perform pressure on a barrier too;
- some tweaking of the default themes;
- more.
With the migration to GSettings, theres also an option to add multiple docks. However, this option is not yet available in the Plank Preferences so to access it, you must use Dconf Editor.
To do this, launch Dconf Editor, navigate to net > launchpad > plank and under "enabled-docks", add the docks you want to use. For example, to use two docks, add "dock2" next to "dock1", like in the screenshot below:
Then, launching Plank, you should have two entries under net > launchpad > plank > docks, which allow configuring each dock.
Running multiple concurrent instances while using "-n|--name" is still possible with this release.
I should also mention that with the latest Plank, the icon which allowed accessing the dock preferences or quitting Plankter on non-elementary OS desktops is no longer available in the dock. To access the Plank preferences UI, you can use the following command:
plank --preferencesInstall Plank 0.11.0 in Ubuntu, Linux Mint and derivatives
Important (elementary OS only): if you try to upgrade to Plank 0.11.0 in elementary OS Freya via the Docky/Plank Stable PPA, it will try to remove important elementary desktop packages, so do not upgrade to the latest version from the Docky/Plank Stable PPA if you use elementary OS! elementary OS users should wait until the elementary OS Stable PPA is updated with the latest Plank.
Update: Plank 0.11.0 is available in the official Ubuntu 16.04 repositories. To install it, use the following command:
To install the latest Plank in Ubuntu 15.10, 15.04 and 14.04 (and derivatives) or Linux Mint 17.x, you can use the official Docky/Plank Stable PPA. Add the PPA and install / upgrade to Plank 0.11.0 using the following commands:
