How to permanently hide Unity dock?

I like unity, and the way it organizes applications but I don't like the dock. I would like to use Docky instead.

If it's possible, I don't even want to see the dock when I hit the super key. I don't even wanna see it when I open Unity launcher.

While I wish this was all possible, I know this is probably impossible but it's worth a shot.


I don't believe there is a way to replace the Unity launcher with Docky, but you can always auto-hide it and just ignore it. That seems quite annoying though.

^That should help you with auto-hiding the launcher.

Alternatively, you can always log into the Ubuntu Classic session, delete the bottom panel, and run Docky at startup. If you need further help with that, feel free to ask.
