# 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?
