I love the right panel I use in Windows (see the picture). I tried to mimick the same under Ubuntu interface, also via XFCE and OpenBox. NONE of them support this option natively, everywhere you need to apply a lot of tweaks that work not very stable. This seems to be ridiculously simple, yet very hard to implement.
if you have the "dock" on the right, can you please share your experience? I am stuck.
