KDE Mac OS Dock app - which is best?
Although I prefer a much softer, more natural looking desktop than that of Mac OS, I verily like the trademark dock that doubles as an application launcher and a taskbar.
My question is simply this: which is the best dock equivalent app that you've tried on KDE?
There are many out there (KXDocker, KSmoothDock, KoolDock, Kicker itself..). I would like one that has the same functionality as the mac dock, in the sense that you can launch things apps from it and minimize/maximize them to/from it.
Any advice?

Re: KDE Mac OS Dock app - which is best?
I have tried them all... Ksmoothdock, Kooldock, Kxdocker and also some Karamba Bars. But at the end i always switched back to kicker. What are nice FX when the functionality is missing?
want a modular and tweaked KDE for arch? try kdemod

I use engage, because of the somewhat old hardware I'm working with. very little to none CPU usage.
And yes, it is stable enough. (for me at least)
Someday, I'll be a real boy!
