I reverted the addition of the [[Windows Vista]] "[[Windows Sidebar|dock]]" image because the article didn't yet discuss the "dock" in Vista. However, further investigation revealed that Microsoft refers to it as the "sidebar" [http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/windowsvista/features/details/sidebargadgets.mspx], and an article discussing this GUI element already appears at [[Windows Sidebar]]. Thus, I don't think the information really belongs here. – [[User:Mipadi|Mipadi]] 04:43, 7 February 2007 (UTC) |

*The vista Sidebar is more akin to the Dashboard in OS X, it just has a set of widget on it. it doesn't refer to open applications, or even launch applications. I've removed this statement, until someone can back it up with some evidence.[[User:EAi]] (not logged in) |

== What the <s>*blank*</s> is happening to this article?! == |
|||
The article's section on GNU/Linux is completely screwed up (GNOME, for example, can dock programmes to its notification area). The images and wikilinks that ingratiated the bottom were removed. And no-ones ever even heard of a 'GNOME dock' being added because it's built in to GNOME. What in the world is happening to this article?! --[[User:SuperLuigi31|<font color="blue"><b>Super</b></font><font color="green"><b>Luigi</b></font>]] [[User Talk:SuperLuigi31|<font color="red"><b>3</b>]][[special:contributions/SuperLuigi31|</font><font color="gold"><b>1</b></font>]] 15:13, 7 April 2007 (UTC) |

Better formatting, screenshots
Could someone put this article into shape, perhaps by removing the two vertical screenshots and replacing them with horizontal ones? But, it might be hard to find another screenshot from OPENSTEP for this article.--BDWill Talk Contribs 10:13, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
- OPENSTEP doesn't do horizontal docks, the horizontal space is used for something else. Dysprosia 10:32, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
- Oh, ok.--BDWill Talk Contribs 13:29, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
- Maybe the images could be removed and moved to the Images section? – Mipadi 17:56, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
Dock Extras
Does anyone know what happened to the Dock Extras from 10.0.4? Because they don't work on Tiger. --M1ss1ontomars2k4 (T | C | @) 20:07, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
Docking Behavior
This definition of "Dock" mentions nothing about the more familiar behavior of docking controls. For example, being able to drag a pane from one section of a UI framework and dock it to another location. Or to drag it out to become a stand-alone window of its own. Or to drag a window to a tab set to become part of the tab set under a new tab, or drag a tab out of a tab set to become a stand-alone window or drop it into another tab set.
The "Dock" referred to here appears to be more of an operating system desktop feature than the desktop application feature. I would like to see a difinitive description of docking as part of an application user interface written up here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kwooda (talk • contribs) 18:16, August 18, 2006 (UTC)
Other Systems
XFCE and e17 both have dock-like programs. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.56.237.70 (talk) 07:58, 7 December 2006 (UTC).
Windows Vista "Dock"
I reverted the addition of the Windows Vista "dock" image because the article didn't yet discuss the "dock" in Vista. However, further investigation revealed that Microsoft refers to it as the "sidebar" [1], and an article discussing this GUI element already appears at Windows Sidebar. Thus, I don't think the information really belongs here. – Mipadi 04:43, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
