2.运行

# 如果直接运行会默认创建 dock1 的主题
▶ plank 
# 如果需要取名字则可以如下方式创建一个名为newplank的主题
▶ plank -n newdock

3.配置
这里设置plank的配置文件在 ：/usr/share/plank/themes/

▶ cd /usr/share/plank/themes
▶ ls
Default  Matte  Transparent
# 这里有选用默认的主题配置Default
▶ cd Default                                                                                                         
▶ ls
dock.theme   # 这是主题的配置文件

配置文件每一行都有相应的注释说明，可以自己修改调试，也可以参考我的配置文件：

▶ cat dock.theme 
#This file auto-generated by Plank.

4.添加底部应用程序
配置文件在：/home/fqf/.config/plank

▶ cd ~/.config/plank 
▶ ls      # 查看创建的plank主题，这里选择默认的 dock1 来作为解释
dock1
▶ cd ldock1/launchers 
▶ ls     # 添加应用程序的格式  name.dockitem
electronic-wechat.dockitem  google-chrome.dockitem  org.kde.dragonplayer.dockitem
firefox.dockitem            nohup.out               org.kde.konsole.dockitem
▶ cat firefox.dockitem      # name.dockitem内容如下：
[PlankDockItemPreferences]
Launcher=file:///usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# 所以我们只需要 cp 其中的一个name.dockitem
# 在目录 /usr/share/applications/ 找到你需要添加的应用程序名字
# Launcher=file:///usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop
# 并在最后替换掉即可
# Launcher=file:///usr/share/applications/google-chrome.desktop

linux 小知识：

一般在终端执行程序时，当你关掉终端之后，之前打开的程序也随着关掉了，那么可以使用：
nohup 命令 &      #这句命令意思是当前执行的 程序/命令 不挂起并放置后台运行。
eg：
▶ nohup plank &
[1] 14524
nohup: 忽略输入并把输出追加到'nohup.out'
