Add divider to plank(dock)

Question

I would like to have a divider line in my dock for separation. Is this possible? I have checked dconf and have not found anything there. I have checked the preferences of the dock and I do not see anything there either. Is this in the backlog to implement?

Answer 1

This is not currently possible. There is an open bug report on Launchpad

Answer 2

Create a .desktop file containing the following

[Desktop Entry]
Name=
Exec=
Terminal=false
Hidden=true
Type=Application
Icon=/path-to-icon/icon.svg

Where /path-to-icon/icon.svg is the icon you want to use for your separator. Then add it to the dock.

Answer 3

Another workaround is using the script provided on this GitHub project:
