Bug Description
So instead of having Docky as the "theme" of the launcher, why not make Docky a "checkbox" option, so you have the dock and the launcher separated. Of course all the docklets and whatnot are still managed through Do (basically just a dock and launcher tightly integrated). This allows for several things: left/right-hand placement of Docky without being fugly, a more visible launcher area, as it's your standard launcher, and more customization options, as you can have Docky and whichever theme you want for the launcher, and this allows you to develop other themes for the Docky interface alone. I'm going to link to this in a reply to the "Left/Right-hand Docky" feature request thread, as it is said there several times "provde a mockup that doesnt look fugly and we'll think about it"

Hey I was messing around on my windows box today and thought up a mockup. yes it's crappy but it gets the point accross.
leng text strings under icons would be difficult, maybe w/ a "hyphenate and move to next line after X # of characters" function
