Why don't you use one of the other themes to show the launcher? I
think that the launcher of the Docky theme is a bit hard to use,
because the results aren't shown. On the other hand, I like the dock.
So, why not combine the two? Best of both worlds. The side-dockable
Docky would be easier to implement then too, right?
