SimDock is an free Ubuntu application designed to provide a pretty application bar and desktop launcher for your desktop. SimDock allows you to copy some of the effects of Compiz Fusion without needing a window manager capable of composition. In fact, this free Ubuntu application works on most desktop environments. SimDock is written with C++ and wxWidgets. It's easy to dock things to the bar, and the application even includes a graphical GUI. This isn't exclusively to Ubuntu, and may work on a variety of distributions. SimDock isn't included in the repositiories, so you'll have to install it from a .deb file. Go here to download the package. After that completes, fire up the Terminal and make sure you have the wxWidgets installed through the following: Then, install the SimDock .deb with the following: Enjoy your new daily Ubuntu application.
sudo apt-get install libwxgtk2.8-dev
sudo dpkg -i simdock_1.2-1~getdeb1_i386.deb
