PieDock is a task bar and application launcher in shape of a pie menu. It feels a little bit like the famous OS X dock in a circle.
To experience the idea in action, try the WebPie demo or watch this video.
Requires a C++ compiler, headers and libraries of X11 and libpng. Xft and the X Rendering Extension (to make use of a compositing manager) are optional.
Runs on Linux, BSD and Solaris.
Manual configure, compile and install:
$ ./configure
Alternatively, for Gnome integration, run configure with:
$ ./configure --enable-gtk
Or for KDE use:
$ ./configure --enable-kde
To compile:
$ make
Then as root:
# make install-strip
Finally, you may want to invoke the setup script with normal privileges:
$ sh/setup
Or manually copy res/piedockrc.sample to ~/.piedockrc and modify it to meet your needs.
