Move Dock to the bottom of the screen #9

Closed probonopd closed 3 years ago

probonopd commented 4 years ago

The Dock in GWorkspace seemingly cannot be moved to the bottom of the screen. Is there a hidden setting somewhere?

No, there is no hidden setting. At the bottom it would interfere with either the Tabbed Shelf and/or WindowMaker's icons.

Tabbed Shelf and/or WindowMaker's icons.

...things Mac users don't understand nor use. But I respect your decision to target pre-Apple NeXT UX.

There is a world beyond Mac users... and Mac users might also try something new, for the good or the bad! It is not that difficult to understand and play with. WindowMaker Icons are in fact very similar to Apple's Dock, just more flexible and in a different presentation. Apple is not the only think to be inspired from especially after "Big Sur". GNUstep and GWorkspace try to take the best of worlds
