Flow Dock theme
A minimal floating glass theme designed to stay out of the way.
Flow theme (minimal capsule)
Flow is the “minimal glass” preset: a floating capsule taskbar that stays out of the way.
Pick Flow if you want Taskbar to feel like a thin control strip instead of a heavy UI element.
What Flow is good at
- A clean desktop: the taskbar reads as a single, calm shape.
- Fast muscle memory: pins become a small, stable cluster.
- Glanceable controls: you open flyouts when you need them, then get back to work.
Recommended setup for Flow
These settings tend to match Flow’s aesthetic and ergonomics:
- Alignment: Center (Flow looks best as a centered capsule)
- Size: Medium (start here, then try Small)
- Combine mode: Auto or Overflow (keeps the bar compact as apps accumulate)
- Tray: keep only essentials visible and move the rest to overflow
Related settings:
- Layout: Alignment & size
- Grouping: Combine mode
- Tray cleanup: Tray overflow
How to keep it “clean”
Flow looks best when the taskbar isn’t overloaded:
- Keep pins short (the apps you truly open daily).
- Use Search for the long tail of apps and documents.
- If the right side gets noisy, move icons into tray overflow.
