Can't install this dock after upgrading to Linux Mint 22 Cinnamon.Software manager is throwing a message about missing dependencies: The following packages have unmet dependencies: cairo-dock-impulse-plug-in: Depends: pulseaudio
i like it. At first was a little cofusing to understand the options and set up the shortcuts, but late after several tries i had everything customized and working as i wanted. Maybe some more polishments are needed (performance, friendly interface, etc.) but in the actual state it's pretty useful and really achieves the goal of keeping the shorcuts and link at hand and organized. Go ahead, give a chance.
NOT RECOMMENDED! It'll install loads of packages during installation, like any other normal app. But if you want remove it, it's practically impossible to remove all the packages (which were installed automatically with it) doesn't matter if you try to remove it from software manager or using apt remove. Also, even if you manage to uninstall every packages associated with it, you may end up uninstalling some previously installed packages, in my case, audacious.
This is GREAT dock software. Do not believe any of the negative comments. This dock is so much better than any of the others. I use the Alu theme and configure it so it has a Macintosh look and feel. (Like the look of the Mac, hate the macOS software.) Cairo Dock takes a little time to understand, but once you get it, configuration is easy. My recommendation is to have an idea of what you want before you install. Then choose a theme that best matches your idea and configure from there. The best part is, you can use any PNG image file for an icon. Just keep it to nothing more than 512x512 and you'll do fine.
Not good. Yes, there are tons of options if compared to the other, but those options change nothing! In other words, most applets for this thing do NOT WORK! Even the ones downloaded from their own website! HDDTemp? No, it doesn't work. Calendar? Nope. CPUtemp? no! Their own system menu is BROKEN! All you need to break it is click on it, type something so it will search and position itself off and remain that way until you either kill it or log in again. In other words, it's too damn easy to break this dock application, it's ridiculous. Not to mention the notification are is treated like a separate dock and that is not even configurable. Cairo-dock tries to impress you with its little tricks, but in the end you might notice it's just a bugfest masked as a dock application. I like Avant-Window-Navigator better, but until it's available to use on LM19, I'll look for something else.
Not bad. Yet a bit too complicated in configuring with mouse. Also I might br wrong, but I wasn't able to set up launcher icon to be an app icon when certain app is running. E.g. When I use launche to run an app anoher icon appers in dock. Wish it was more macos-like: most of all I lack the 'move icon to pin it' feature:) Thnx for the ffort anyways
