KDocker

KDocker will help you dock most applications to the system tray. Just point and click!

All you need to do is start KDocker and select an application using the mouse and the application gets docked into the system tray.

Desktop Environment Behavior

Each desktop environment has slightly different behavior in how they handle the system try. Depending on which desktop environment you're using KDocker might work differently than you expect. The behavior of the system try is defined by the desktop environment and KDocker has no control over these differences in behavior.

Desktop Left Click Right Click Double Click Scroll Wheel
KDE show / hide opens menu show / hide nothing
Gnome opens menu opens menu show / hide nothing
Mate opens menu opens Mate applet menu opens menu nothing
LXDE show / hide opens menu show / hide show / hide
XFCE show / hide opens menu show / hide nothing

Notes

Gnome, not all distros install the system tray plugin by default.

Building from source

KDocker requires Qt 6. Unlike the name implies, it does not use any libraires from KDE nor does KDE need to be installed.

Build dependencies for Ubuntu 24.04

Building

  1. qmake6
  2. make
  3. make install (optional)

IMPORTANT: Close all previous instances of KDocker that are running before running a new build. KDocker is a single instance application.
