When I was using LXDE I realized there was no menu animations in the Docky. Then I got this message:
(docky needs the desktop effects enabled to work properly. some options are disabled and themes and animations will appear "incorrectly" says the balloon in the upper right corner of the screen) those desktop effects are enabled so what is going on?
(yes I am aware Docky works properly with GNOME but it's also compatible with lxde)

Install xcompmgr
sudo apt-get install xcompmgr
Now add the command xcompmgr -n to autostart
If this does not work, you can try installing compton.
sudo apt-get install compton
Now, restart your computer, run docky and use the following command to start compton
@compton -c -r 16 -l -24 -t -12 -G -b
(If this does not work, try running compton -c -r 16 -l -24 -t -12 -G -b && exit)
To add compton to startup applications, open terminal, and run the command
sudo leafpad /etc/xdg/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart
Then add the line @compton -c -r 16 -l -24 -t -12 -G -b
