I mean... if youre using a gtk-theme Radiance for instance, Dockbar uses this buttons of the theme, if you change to... Dust Sand or Elementary gtk-theme Dockbar change to its theme as well withouth the need of install any Appearance theme, well it's just a suggest I don't know if is that possible, but that would be great dude keep up the excellent work!!!

Nice work! dbx is the best application for gnome-panel.

I install manually in my laptop with Lubuntu and "DockbarX Preferences" works perfect from Application menu.
But I don't know how to add the panel.

Is there any way to add in lxpanel?

Thanks.

Not as far as I know, no.

In future version, there will be more customisation? When you put the mouse on a window in dockbarx, the popup style changed. We will be able to change the popup theme? I wish I could return to the ancien popup theme and to change theme of button (close button, media button) I would be huge...

Yes, the theming will be rewritten before version 0.50.

good news! I ever want to re-back to the old style. Your software is so great! Keep up your work!

Is there a way to have a shortcut associated to each pinned application to launch it?

Ie, my first pinned app is Firefox, and hitting Super-1 launches FF.

Thanks

M7S

I'm planning on experimenting with that. Something like what unity has. I already improved current shortcut system so that applications are selected when you lift the super button instead of after a delay. That will be included in the next release (same goes for the feature you suggest if I'm succesful with the experiments).

Great utility, thanks! Four things I'd love to see:

- recent and frequent items expanded by default (or an option for this), since they're more likely to be used than for example Launch, Unpin and Properties.
- Full duplication of the title bar right-click menu for consistency (add Move, Resize, Always On Top)
- Integration of GTK bookmarks (or the Places menu) into the context menu of the Nautilus launcher (and other file browsers using bookmarks) if its there
- integration of Ubuntu indicator menus and standard Gnome notification area menus into applications where relevant

1) Some options for recent/most used would be good, yes. Not only what you suggest but also the number of items showed.

2) I've meant to implement this for a while but I always seem to push it up since it's not a top priority. I'll try to get it done before the next version.

3) I'll look into this. What I really would like to implement though is recent/most used folders. Not that implementing one of these would exclude implementing the other.

4) Gnome notification menu integration is not possible but indicators should (more or less) be doable. I'm not going to implement it right now, though. Unity is getting launcher badges, progress bars and quick lists. Implementing these might be more consistent, cause less problems and give the same functionality.

Hey Matias,
Great work. I really love dbx now even more :) I dont use the ubuntu sound menu and with the addition of media buttons i dont even need the RB tray icon :)

one thing i miss is coverart.
I would like to see coverart in popups when the music player is minimized or closed to tray.If that is not possible changing the app icon to the cover art ala docky would be nice too.

also is there a way to change font color for badges? im using dbx with awn and the color is dark grey and barely readable. see here: http://uppix.net/9/9/e/a2e5bc62c294b310171dc07aa8716.png

There are only a few things left that would made Dbx perfect so i cant wait for the next major release of it.

keep up the good work :)

Dockbarx does not work at all after the last update. I had to unistall and reinstall it completely, include the folders on /home/user/.dockbarx and usr/share/dockbarx, but after the reinstallation the dock does not work yet. All the dependencies are installed.

Any suggestion?

Ubuntu Maverick Meerkat

It would be great if you add an option to show media buttons even if windows list is disabled when there's only one window

I don't know. Maybe Hadret will add it to his repository?

First, thank you for this great applet.

With v0.43, when the first window is opened, its icon on DockbarX doesn't have the active color until the cursor is put on it once or the window gets inactive and then active again. The behavior is correct with the second window. I removed the old configuration folder but after logging out and in, the same thing happened. Switching between themes made no difference either. I find nothing relevant in '~/.dockbarx/'. So I returned to v0.42.1.

BTW, the folder '~/.dockbarx/' will be filled with so many useless log files after a while. I think it's more appropriate to only log (serious) errors in that folder.

Somebody probably asked this, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. Could somebody guide me how to make the dockbarx+awn look like the second screenshot? I tried several ways but just couldn't make it work...Thanks.

Dockbarx theme should be faensa_v, you need to apply gaussian blur in compiz blur filter and check this link out for more info on fine-tuning awn lucido.

Thanks a lot, this is too cool !!!!

I do not know if this is a problem or dockbarx AWN, but the applet dockbarx is not properly aligned on the y axis (vertical). Try creating a bar of awn in panel mode (bottom or top of the screen), and place the applet dockbarx, now try to increase the displacement (not the height) of the bar and see what happens. the applet does not follow the displacement

thanks

sorry for English

Sorry if this has been asked before, but will there be a release of the newest version, 0.42.1, for lucid?
My system just installs the older one again and again. I also tried installing the Maverik one, but it didn't work.
If there will be a new release for lucid, when can I expect to be able to download it?

Many thanks
PS:It looks brilliant! Keep up the good work.
