glad you like it.
yes there is a way to add a 2nd AWN dock, and customize it separately from the first dock. (launchers, etc). But the theme will stay the same.
However, I have not yet dabbled in doing this for myself. lol
Actually,
I just learned about it a few days ago on ubuntu forum, from me asking the same question you asked me. lol
and I was given an answer by someone who does know his stuff, though I was still slightly confused, hence why I havent tried yet.
I will go find the info that was given to me, and share it with you...
and maybe you will "get it" more than I did, and youll be able to help me! lol
It is a matter of simply using the "simple launcher" applet....
but thats about as much as I can say right now without confusing both of us. lol
Ill come back with the infos for ya, let me know what you think.
many thanks. <3
I guess Ill just post the conversation here, lol...

Rasa: Anyone know how I can 'dock' those 4 desktop icons at the bottom, right where they are. somehow? lol

koleoptero:Add another AWN dock from its preferences, set its style to "None", remove all the applets it might have and add the simple launcher applet, then drag and drop there those 3 launchers. Set it to Autohide and Keep Below.
________________________________
Rasa: That is the only thing I could think of also..but when I attempted it before,
(as i just did again, a minute ago)
It seems that I cannot make changes to one dock, without them being applied to the other dock.
I was able to set its style to "none" fine,
and my top dock stayed as is..
but, when I try to remove any of the launchers Ive already made for the top dock,
from the bottom dock..
They also disappear from the top.
Here is a question ive had for awhile,
but not yet asked it.....
Is it possible to control only one AWN dock from the preferences?
Because, as Ive seen soo far.. it is not..
or it just does not work properly for me, I dunno..
I need a way to be able to control only one dock, so that I can make whatever changes I need, without also affecting the top dock/panel.
But it just seems impossible. lol
_____________________________
koleoptero: The launchers would change at both because you used the launcher/taskmanager applet, not the simple launcher applet. There are two. Use the other It will have launchers but won't manage the applications themselves.
You can change the settings for each dock seperately. You can't change the theme though, that stays the same. If you set it to none though then it'll look the same no matter what theme you use, right?
After that when you want to change the options for any specific dock, right-click on it and select "dock preferences" there, don't use the preferences applet.
What I suggested is doable with the version from the ppa, I don't know about the version that's in the repos.
