One thing I love about Zorin OS is that I can pin an application such as firefox to the bottom panel and then when you have firefox open you can hover over the firefox icon in the panel and actually see the page that is open. What is the name of the program that is running that? I haven't seen this used in any other Linux distro that I have used. I love the ability to see the pages or applications I have open and even choose them from the icons on the panel. Anybody know?

It's called DockbarX Applet. I actually turn off the previews, I didn't care for the previews.

That's what I thought, but Synaptic tells me that dockbarx is not installed on my machine. But I guess it really is.

it relates to the look changer .. if you have it set to windows 7, it is a mimic of the Windows 7 features ... I don't know the name of the program .. sorry
