Dock is an addon that, as the name suggest, allows you to shrink and dock other frames into it. On mouseover frames can be zoomed in letting you take a good look at their contents.
Features:
Virtually infinite amount of docks, or just one if you'd like
Practically any frame can be docked by just dragging and dropping
Highly customizable: colors, animations, orientations and more
Tabbing feature that lets docks be collapsed even further
Load on demand configuration, no reason to waste that memory

Dock is still considered beta, please treat it as such.

Sorry, there are currently no optional files available.
On my mac i can set the dock to auto hide/show when i mouseover the dock area, is possible to make your addon work like that? to show it only when i mouseover the dock area like the fubar do?
Thanks, your addon is very nice and cool loocking
5/5 stars :P
Is it a known bug that when i log in all my docked things are out of the dock? the dock is tabbed
EDIT: I'll play around with it, but I don't know if it pertains to this, because I only want one frame in this dock. I want to make it so when I click the tab my quest tracker pops up. It takes space when there are a lot of quests.
I create the dock, click on the tab so it opens (and I can drag my frame into it) and I make sure the frame I am moving is unlocked. I drag it into the Dock and it won't let me. It says the frame is too large to fit. So I make it bigger and bigger until my whole screen is the Dock! It still says it's too small.
I had a similar experience, but mine had to do with the orientation of the dock. The default is set to Vertical and it will have difficulty accepting wide frames. However, if you change the orientation to Horizontal it should work better. This might be confusing to some because you can pull a dock as wide as you want and it can still be "too small." You actually need to select the orientation. I'm not sure if this will help with your issue but it's worth a shot.
I got around to trying it, and I love to Tab feature.
I am having trouble with it, though.

What might be the cause and/or fix of this? I've tried this with nQuestLog and TourGuide and neither work.

It looks interesting in the videos, but I dont really see the purpose.
Since I'm not much of a minimalist I personally use it just to keep my damage/healing/threat frames out of the way until I need them. Others use half a dozen docks to keep their UI entirely clean. Others won't find a use for it because they like all their information visible all the time.
Others can't live without SCT/Parrot/ect mods, but I personally can't see a use for it, as I already have a combat log.

didn't think much of this when I first saw it posted, but I figured if it was Pick Of The Week it must be something special so I checked out the youtube videos... wow, I thought, looks good!
So I installed it and it IS good! Fantastic, in fact.
You don't see much innovation in addons these days, so congratulations to the author for coming up with something unique AND useful!
I've chucked all my chat windows into it, and free'd up masses of screen space, now as my priest I might be able to actually see some of the action during raids!
I've a feeling this'll be included in a lot of compilations very soon.

Always good when something both unique and useful comes along. Been following this on EJ and will be giving this a good testing of the next couple of weeks.
