Plank is also pretty easy -- git clone it from https://github.com/elementary/dock, cd into the Dock directory, and use pretty much the same instructions to get it compiled and installed:

How to change indicator color in Dock/Plank?
Well https://github.com/elementary/dock/pull/61 did get me closer, but sadly the indicators are flat - really just wanted the monochromatic dots like in the pics.

Need Advice from Front End Devs
Hello, backend dev here. I want to build some very specific gui stuff for linux desktop and i am confused. Let me first tell you what I want to build. Then I will explain my confusion. So I want to build something like https://github.com/ricotz/plank and https://github.com/xfce-mirror/xfce4-panel. It is not supposed to be cross platform, specifically for linux x86 64 bit. For Xorg specifically.
So I am thinking about some sort of application, that does it and is fullscreen and borderless by default. Both these apps cannot be seperate windows.

you dislike hiding the dislike, i dislike like....
I think OP is using Plank Dock at the right side and Clear Sans as UI font. The icon pack theme seems to be Papirus. I couldn't guess the GTK theme tho

Need help with XFCE. Grouping windows under the launcher.
Maybe something like Plank dock. It sounds like it will do what you describe with the pinned launch icons that are grouped together. It also has optional "docklets" for standard panel functions (application menu, show desktop, clock, trash, battery, clipboard, cpu monitor) so it can replace a traditional panel. It should be in most popular distro repos.
