KSmoothDock is a desktop panel, similar to KDE's kicker, for KDE 3.2. Its most distinctive feature is smooth icon zooming in one of two modes: normal and parabolic. Its aim is to provide a cool alternative and complement to kicker. As it is intended for KDE and Linux, its behavior resembles that of kicker.

Recent releases


Release Notes: The --resetConfig command line option was added to reset configuration data, and --resetLaunchers was added to reset quick launchers data. Fixed some display bugs (on both normal and parabolic zoom modes) in version 4.4 were fixed.


Release Notes: Parabolic zoom mode now works correctly under the latest KDE releases.


Release Notes: The "auto-hiding" feature has been re-implemented. A right-click popup menu has been added for the pager, taskbar (re-added), and clock. An option has been added to not show the Dock Position Conflict Dialog again. The range of icon sizes has been increased. The desktop icon area is now adjusted correctly. There are some other minor fixes.


Release Notes: The Parabolic Zoom mode has been considerably improved. A task that demands attention now has better blinking notification. The dock no longer steals mouse/keyboard focus when being zoomed in. Other minor bugs. The popup menu of a task button has been removed, because while it is of little use, it has problems with the parabolic zoom's animation.


Release Notes: This release will blink a task's icon when it demands attention. There are some minor optimisations. The option "Show windows from all desktops": "off" now functions properly.
