Superdock vs DockFix

By Mahad Kazmi, developer of Superdock. Updated 3 September 2026.

Short answer. DockFix is a customisation dock: colours, opacity, custom icons, widgets, a file shelf and community presets, with a 5.0 rewrite that its site says aims for a native look. Choose Superdock if you want zero visual change and per-profile Chrome tiles, previews, Alt-Tab and a dock per display, free.

DockFix is a customisation dock: colours, opacity, custom icons, widgets, a file shelf and community presets, with a 5.0 rewrite that its site says aims for a native look. Superdock is the opposite bet: one look, Apple's, and new behaviour underneath.

Frequently asked questions

Does DockFix separate Chrome profiles?

Its site does not describe it.

Is Superdock customisable?

Lightly: size follows Apple's slider, magnification, position, a dark tint, hidden apps and edge actions. It follows the system icon style (Default, Dark, Clear, Tinted) rather than offering themes.
