I recently replaced the standard task manager in my AWN with DockbarX. It works great - (though icon size seems to not really sync up with AWN's icons, but thats a minor issue)

One feature though is sadly missing as far as I can see, the ability to display information over the icons the way the AWN can. In AWN taskmanager I can show number of unread emails for thunderbird (I am actually a co-maintainer of tb awn plugin) over the tbird icon via DBus - is there a similar interface for DockbarX or is there an alternative way to accomplish the same thing?

Thanks.

Support for dockmanager is planned for DockbarX. I'm not clear on all details and for now DockbarX is in feature freeze, so it might take a while, but sooner or later DockbarX will be able to do these things.
