Floating Mode

Floating mode lets you place a dock anywhere on screen by dragging it freely.

How it works

In floating mode, a dock is an independent window you can drag to any position. It stays where you put it and remembers its position across restarts.

Setting up

Floating is the default mode for new docks. To switch an existing dock to floating:

  • Right-click the dock → Position ModeFloating

  • Management windowPropertiesPositionModeFloating

Dragging

Click and drag the dock background to reposition it. On hover, a drag handle appears at the edge of the dock.

To always show the drag handle:

  • Right-click the dock → Show Drag Icon

  • Management windowPropertiesBehaviorShow Drag Handle

Position lock

Lock a dock’s position to prevent accidental movement:

  • Right-click the dock → Lock Position

When locked, the dock cannot be moved by dragging. Unlock it the same way.
