Introduction

What is kdocker

KDocker will help you dock any application in the system tray. This means you can dock OpenOffice, XMMS, Firefox, Thunderbolt, Eclipse, anything! Just point and click. Works for LXQT/KDE and GTK/GNOME (In fact it should work for most modern window managers that support NET WM Specification for instance).

The application can also be made to disappear from the task bar.
