The Management Window#

The management window is ExtraDock's central control panel. It shows all your docks and lets you configure everything.

Opening it#

The window has two parts:

Left sidebar — List of all your docks. Click one to select it. The About, Support, and Settings buttons at the bottom open the About window, a support email, and App Settings.
Right panel — Two tabs for the selected dock:
- Dock Items — The apps, folders, files, and widgets in this dock
- Properties — Layout, appearance, position, behavior, shortcuts, effects, and actions

The dock header shows the dock's name with a rename pencil, its screen, position, and whether it is visible.

The Properties tab is organized into collapsible sections:

Layout — Switch between Dock and Notch layouts
Appearance — Icon size, spacing, magnification, background style, border
Position — Orientation, floating/fixed mode, edge alignment, screen assignment
Behavior — Auto-hide, fullscreen hiding, collapse, interactions
Shortcuts — Per-dock global hotkey
Effects — Snow, Rays, and fireworks overlays
Actions — Hide, duplicate, copy debug info, or remove the dock

The Dock Items tab shows everything in your dock:

Drag items to reorder them
Click the gear icon to configure an item
Click the red minus button to remove one item
Use Add Item to add apps, folders, or files, or Browse for Apps in an empty dock
Use Add Widget to add widgets
Right-click an item to remove it, open or quit it, change or revert its icon, show it in Finder, or copy and move it to another dock. Widgets offer Configure Widget instead, and the URL widget adds Duplicate with Style.
