Effects#

Add animated visual effects to any dock. Effects overlay the dock without affecting interaction.

Open the management window → Properties → Effects to access these settings.

Snow#

Gentle falling snowflakes for a winter theme.

Toggle Snow Effect on to enable it. Snowflakes use three depth layers: near, middle, and far.

Vertical docks automatically adjust the particle behavior — snowflakes fall with a wider spread and longer lifetime to fill the taller shape.

Rays#

Rays adds an ambient light effect over the dock.

Toggle Rays Effect on to enable it. The effect is per-dock, so you can keep one dock calm and make another more decorative.

Fireworks#

Colorful bursting fireworks for a celebratory theme.

Toggle Fireworks Effect on to enable it. Bursts appear at random positions in the dock. Each burst sends colored trails in several directions.

Vertical docks spread the burst positions along the dock's taller shape.

Combining effects#

Multiple effects can be enabled simultaneously on the same dock. Each dock has independent effect settings.
