docklike-plugin VS skippy-xd

As the other person said, Docklike and Plank (in the Software center) are readily available.

Just learned of this, to amend my other comment: https://github.com/nsz32/docklike-plugin

I think the docklike plugin behaves like you want

I am novice nixos user and I didn't really write any of nix expressions yet. I would like to have Xfce's docklike taskbar plugin (github link), so I would greatly appreciate if somebody could make one nix expression for me so I could build it? I also hope it's not too hard, but I am too sick and tired atm to comperhend documentation regarding it.

Because of default xfce window task manager sometimes picks icons from .desktop files sometimes picks from window icons. I recommend xfce4-docklike-plugin

It is doable with this plugin. Install via ppa way https://github.com/nsz32/docklike-plugin

A couple of distros now bundle the very nifty "docklike" task switcher, which is rather snazzy and integrates well: https://github.com/nsz32/docklike-plugin

The final piece was the docklike-plugin you mentioned. This was the last straw. I attempted to follow the instructions found here: https://github.com/nsz32/docklike-plugin

It seams there is a newer fork of it: https://github.com/dreamcat4/skippy-xd

I use a tool called skippy-xd, which is a desktop/wm agnostic expose view in the same vain as gnome's window overview mode. The problem is, currently it cannot display windows that are minimized/unmapped. Imo this defeats the purpose of the tool.

I also love the GNOME workflow and so wanted to create a similar thing in XFCE. I use two additions, the docklike-plugin and skippy-xd, both of which are probably in your package manager.
