I'm not quite sure what you mean by "choose docky length".

You can add launchers to docky by dragging applications from the menu onto docky. You can remove them from docky by dragging them off the dock. At least one dock will show your running applications and windows so if you have lots of running applications the dock will be long.

Ok, I supposed that. When I first launched Docky a few launchers were on it, which is the criteria of default launchers? In Gnome Do - Docky choosing lenght of dock means choosing how many most used apps are on it. I guess in new Docky there's not the concept of most used apps, right?

No, it's not the most used apps. We hard code a couple of apps for docky to have by default on first run. Feel free to remove or add your own apps.

Chris, which are the default? Are the default apps something you'd like feedback on?

Sure, we would like some feedback on the default apps. In the code we set the default apps here:

If you feel some should be added or removed, please open a bug in our tracker so everyone can weigh in.
