Introduction
What is Dock and Docky
A Dock is an area/a window (provided by the program AmiDock) where the user can put some icons and other stuff.
A Dockie cat be of 3 types:
1. "standalone Dockies": is a special type of program which is made to show an icon in a Dock, delivering some functionality to the user. 2. "AppDockIcon Dockies" which is a modern incarnation of AppIcon of some kind. 3. "Tray bar Dockies" which is special case of AppDockIcon Dockies, just done in mind to be in "tray".
To sum up in "standalone dockies" the docky itself is the application (the only reason of existence of the application is the docky) while for "AppDockIcon dockies" the docky is just a graphical representation of a bigger application (the docky is just here to add user friendliness or visual feedback of the surrounding application)
Different types of Dockys
Standalone Dockies
AppDockIcon Dockies
Standard AppDockIcon Dockies
Tray-bar AppDockIcon Dockies
This part is under development, and even no standard is done. Everything about will fits there.
