The dock is easily Naked light’s most-complained-about feature, so I don’t think it came as any surprise when I mentioned during the Pre-purchase Program announcement that I was looking at ways to let people customize it more to their liking.
As of right now, the plan is to simply make it a palette, similar to Photoshop CS3′s toolbar. When dragged to the sides of your screen, it’ll attach—and work like the dock does currently—Fitt’s Law and all. When free-floating, it’ll work just like Photoshop.
I’ve already recoded the dock twice—once for Core Animation, and once again to speed it up and fix some bugs. So to prevent having to recode the dock four or five times, I need your input now.
What suggestions do you have for the dock? What would you like to see?

Hi Brandon,
I vote for a free floating palette. That way I can move it around and place it where it’s not in the way. I will probably not use the dock if I also can choose a palette.
