Dockies

A Docky is a small program that runs within your AmiDock.

Some Dockies are included as standard with AmigaOS. More can be downloaded from OS4Depot.net.

There are Dockies for Clocks, displaying Photos, CPU meters and so on. Some applications actually feature their own built-in Dockies such as the one found in TuneNet which lets you skip a trick, pause music and so on. AmiUpdate also sports a nice status docky that shows when updates are available or when AmiUpdate is updating your system. Finally the email client Yam also uses Dockies to show new or unread email messages in your inbox.
