Effects

Add animated visual effects to any dock. Effects overlay the dock without affecting interaction.

Open the management window → Properties → Effects to access these settings.

Snow

Gentle falling snowflakes for a winter theme.

Toggle Snow on to enable. Snowflakes fall using a three-layer depth effect (near, middle, far) for a realistic look. The effect is GPU-accelerated, so performance impact is minimal.

Vertical docks automatically adjust the particle behavior — snowflakes fall with a wider spread and longer lifetime to fill the taller shape.

Rays

Rays adds an ambient light effect over the dock.

Toggle Rays Effect on to enable it. The effect is per-dock, so you can keep one dock calm and make another more decorative.

Fireworks

Colorful bursting fireworks for a celebratory theme.

Toggle Fireworks on to enable. Rockets launch from random positions along the dock, trail sparks, then burst into a multi-color explosion. The palette cycles through seven colors: red, green, blue, gold, pink, purple, and white.

Like snow, vertical docks adjust the launch direction so fireworks fire perpendicular to the dock.

Combining effects

Multiple effects can be enabled simultaneously on the same dock. Each dock has independent effect settings.
