Add an option to have the dock always shown but only dodge active window / intellihide #15

Would this be possible? or if not a feature that you could merge, then how should i go about editing extension.js to achieve this functionality locally?

It has been discussed here: https://github.com/fthx/dock-from-dash/issues/4 I won't do that because it's not so light (you have to track active window geometry) and above all that's a great source of bugs.

understandable, would there be any way to just send the dash to the back permanently then? eg;

# Place panel at desktop-level
wmctrl -i -r $ID -b add,below

Should exist a solution with addChrome options but I did not look at this in this way, rather ensure the dock to be showed under all windows! ;-) I think you can hack the code easily to delete all the hiding stuff, just create and show the dock and go.
