DockBarX 0.46 Released With New Autohide Options, More

DockBarX, a task manager that works as a GNOME Panel applet, as an Avant Window Navigator applet or as a stand-alone dock, has reached version 0.46. The new version comes with new autohide options for the dock: dodge windows or dodge the active window, Unity progress bars and badges support as well as dynamic quicklists.

The new autohide features also work in AWN (since the AWN "dodge active window" and "intellihide" only work if the AWN taskbar is used).

Other changes in DockBarX 0.46:

• Dockmanager progress bars and urgent signals are supported now. The badges are rewritten and have a new improved look.
• The mouse cursor is changed to the wait cursor when a program is launched from dockbarx.

M7S, the DockBarX developer has created a video in which he shows why DockBarX is great - watch the video below:
