    Comments about KDocker as an Alternative to AllTray
     
    Dawid Ferenczy

    KDocker is more advanced. It remembers the window position, so it undocks it to the same position it was before being docked. It also has many configuration options directly inside the docked app's systray icon context menu, notably the possibility to set a custom icon for each docked window (useful when the app doesn't have its own icon).
