Kiba Dock
|
|
Kiba Dock is a XGL dock, a way to access programs and windows in an interactive manner. Probably the most common example today is the dock in Mac OS X. Kiba Dock is specifically made for Linux, running under either the GNOME and KDE destkop environments. However, unlike the other systems available, it uses the Akamaru physics engine to render complex interactions. Differences The Kiba dock has several features that most other docks do not possess but the most remarkable is the use of the Akamaru physics engine. Though still experimental it allows for a unique interaction with the dock. Instead of simply being a static row of launchers and icons, every item on the dock is a physical item, with shape, mass, inertia and gravity affecting them. This allows objects to realistically bounce around the dock, into each other, and off the edges of the screen. |
