4 __xdock__ is a software that emulates the Window Maker docks, with the following
7 * __runs in any window manager__
8 * __client/server__ - it works in a client/server way, where a server sits in
9 the right side of the screen, and the docks are clients
10 that connect to that server;
11 * __easy to program__ - programming the Window Maker docks was a hard job. But
12 xdock provides a API that makes programming much easier!
17 Simple basic UNIX program installation:
25 Just remember that it requires both Imlib and Xlib to compile.
30 __xdock__ works as a client/server: the server is the main program, that sits
31 on the right side of the screen, and the clients are the docks, that connect
34 To start a server, simply type:
38 this will put the server in background. If your window manager already has a
39 taskbar, you might want to skip a few pixels, typing:
43 Then, start a client, such as:
47 that will start a example dock and connect it to the server.
52 Programming docks is very simple. You can follow the tutorial
53 (<http://xdock.sourceforge.net/tutorial.html>) and the API documentation is in
54 (<http://xdock.sourceforge.net/api.html>).
