Docky is a dock software that is stripped out of the Gnome do project, originally the "Docky" mode for GNOME do. Later, developers feel that GNOME do is a quick start tool, to get a docky mode is a bit nondescript, so docky as an independent software project.
After a period of development, docky more and more beautiful, and more and more powerful. Supports not only themes and plug-ins (docklets), but also unique helper. Docky can be considered the best clone of the dock for Mac OS X, and its 3D theme and smooth magnification are the same as Mac OS X. But Docky does not simply imitate the integrity, it also has a lot of their own characteristics.
