One question I like to use the various Linux distributions is the ease that I have to try different options and job settings. One that I’ve been testing lately and I’ve liked pretty at all Cairo Dock dock an interesting linux for easy setup and very customizable.
It is available for installation in major Linux distributions and allows us to implement it easily through the different repositories for each. Then there is ready to run either with or without OpenGL , which depending on your graphics card will provide visual effects more or less showy. In my case, both solutions have worked well. 
You can configure it so that we apply different effects and get organize application launchers The way that each is most comfortable. In this sense it is completely modular, allowing you to add or remove both pitchers as we like applications. Thus we have at hand that we use those applications quickly, easily and visually striking.
Regarding how to configure our dock, we have our one very good documentation that we facilitate the work in this direction. We can change the way they behave both icons in the dock, as its appearance or design of it, depending on the tastes of each.
In this sense we will setup a simple manner, not advisable at first to be overwhelmed by the amount of options or an advanced mode, with all the choices at hand. When arrange the icons on the toolbar simply drag and drop them where we want and be changed without major problems.
It also allows us to choose the position in which we are more interested to place the bar, since according to our preferences or type of display will be more useful to us in the side or top or bottom positions. Finally, it has a number of topics very complete choice , and also we can customize and save for that we not lose the changes to change the subject.
In summary this is a dock comprehensive, easy installation and configuration which claims to work with almost any type of graphics cards, as we indicate in their documentation. The fluency and sight of the dock will depend largely on our graphics and effects we have on our desktop.
When compared to Docky, the other of the docks that I like have different behaviors and will depend greatly on our personal tastes . From Docky I like that they appear directly in the toolbar of most used applications and Cairo Dock multiple visual settings you have.
