Creating & Managing Docks

Every dock in ExtraDock is fully independent — its own apps, appearance, position, and behavior settings.

Creating a dock

There are two ways to create a new dock:

  • Menu bar — Click the ExtraDock icon → New Dock

  • Management window — Click + New Dock in the dock list

New docks appear as floating horizontal docks on your current screen with default settings.

Renaming a dock

Give docks meaningful names to keep track of them:

  • Right-click the dock background → Rename

  • Management window — Double-click the dock name in the list

Use names that match your workflow: “Dev”, “Design”, “Chat”, “Utilities”.

Duplicating a dock

Right-click the dock background → Duplicate, or use the Duplicate button in the management window’s Properties tab. This creates a copy with all the same apps and settings.

Copy & paste settings

Apply one dock’s settings to another:

  1. Right-click the source dock → Copy Settings

  2. Right-click the target dock → Paste Settings

This copies appearance, behavior, and position settings — not the apps inside.

Removing a dock

Right-click the dock background → Show Management Screen, then use the Remove Dock button in the Properties tab. You’ll be asked to confirm.

You can also hide a dock without removing it — right-click → Hide This Dock. Hidden docks can be shown again from the menu bar.
