You have a customizable bar in your DE, put everything you need into that bar, why a second bar?

Words have many meanings and we somehow don't change old ones because someone used them in dirty context.

#13X11 only is a bit of a bummer although I’m not surprised - i don’t think i’d target Wayland either for this sort of thing if i was a happy x11 user already.
Yes, indeed. The next I will be working with is Wayland. Let's see how hard that will be. I am sure there will be applet that I will never be able to port like Window killer that users xkill, etc.

I'm actually curious about that - this seems like something that should at least partially work through XWayland? Blindly speculating, it might not work against existing windows, but I'd expect things like system monitors and launching apps to not care.
To be honest, I am not sure, I will be working on those as the next big thing for Docking. I am uncertain of how much I can achieve on Wayland. Looking forward.

Haha, I am not native speaker as you can imagine. The idea here is more of a space ship/rocket docking into a base.

I do not have a bar that I can put everything I want, so I created it, as many other developers have created a dock bar, just like MacOS has its own, etc, et.

#17very cool project with a very unfortunate name
The rocket docking into a base was the meaning, regardless of the other usages :-)

I have a tentative fix on the way https://github.com/edumucelli/docking/commit/7ddcdeae42e8277... -- the deb file will be arch specific now as well
