I like unity, and the way it organizes applications but I don't like the dock. I would like to use Docky instead.

If it's possible, I don't even want to see the dock when I hit the super key. I don't even wanna see it when I open Unity launcher.

While I wish this was all possible, I know this is probably impossible but it's worth a shot.

I don't believe there is a way to replace the Unity launcher with Docky, but you can always auto-hide it and just ignore it. That seems quite annoying though.

^That should help you with auto-hiding the launcher.

Alternatively, you can always log into the Ubuntu Classic session, delete the bottom panel, and run Docky at startup. If you need further help with that, feel free to ask.

  1. Install advanced Compiz settings manager (type ccsm in Software Center).
  2. Run it and find Unity plugin under Desktop category.
  3. Customize it any way you want. To solve your problem you should set the Reveal Mode to None and Hide Launcher to Autohide. You can also disable the Key to show the launcher and install Gnome Do instead, which many find much better.

Using this manager you're able to customize your Ubuntu very deeply, not just the Unity behaviour. I think you'll be amazed with what you can do with it.

I confirm that this solution still works on 11.10.
