List of helpers
Helpers are scripts that extend the functionality of docks by adding global or per application commands in the right click menus or by modifying the icon.
As of Docky 2.1, you must have the DockManager[1] package installed.
To enable them go here: Adding docklets/helpers to your dock
You can search helpers by Usable, Enabled, Disabled or All.

Installing New Helpers
To install new helpers, you simply have to:
Click the Install button and select a helper in the dialog. The helpers are packaged in a .tar file.
As of Docky 2.1, Helpers live in these folders (the default is the per user folder):
- /usr/share/dockmanager/ -- this is a global folder. Adding a helper here will make it available to all dock users on that computer. You need root privileges to write to this folder.
- ~/.local/share/dockmanager/ -- per user folder. Adding a helper here will make it available only to that user. This folder might need to be created if you have never used the Install button in the settings dialog.
As of Docky 2.0, Helpers live in these folders (the default is the per user folder):
- /usr/share/docky/scripts/ -- this is a global folder. Adding a helper here will make it available to all Docky users on that computer. You need root privileges to write to this folder.
- ~/.local/share/docky/scripts/ -- per user folder. Adding a helper here will make it available only to that user. This folder might need to be created if you have never used the Install button in the settings dialog.
