Very nicely made dock. I'm curious if there's a way to change the color of the lines/dots under the applications from the default orange to a custom color.

there is not BUT the color is not hardcoded. The color used is the FocusColor from current plasma theme applied to your entire Plasma Desktop. Changing Plasma theme will change also that color.

Multicolor feature dosen't work properly. The panels become transparent when the windows are minimized or closed by their buttons pressing. If I use Active Screen Corners and Edges function to show desktop, the windows are closed, but the panels don't become transparent. On the other hand, if you call up the tray menu with the windows open (starting with v0.8.6), the panel becomes transparent, which is also wrong. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=404483

Thought I would post this in case it is helpful to anyone else.

I was just about to ask someone if they could tell me how copy a dock/panel so that I can have an identical one on another screen. I found it myself though at the last minute:
Go to Dock/Panel setting
Click on the dropdown arrow next to + New Dock
Click copy
Then under Location, select the screen you want it to be on

Hi! I realy love this dock. But, i think miss the feature "reveal on pressure". A lot of times when i trie to click in someting in the bottom of the screen the dock is revealed. Others docks have this feature and if latte integrate it, will be perfect!!

How can I request features or ask questions directly to the developer? Is there a proper way or just here in comments?

But it is for bugs right? Like existing features. I just have a question about dock hierarchy: When left and top docks are present, the top one always takes the corner ("Maximum space" for the left dock is shortened by top panel's height) regardless of which was created first. I just wanted to ask whether this is intentional (then I would really appreciate a brief explanation if you have the time) or not (in which case this is a feature request to add an option to set which panels get the corner).
I am not sure bugs.kde.org is the right place for that. If it is, we can discuss it there. Or should I use forum.kde.org?

For 1 you should use https://bugs.kde.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=latte-dock in order to be discussed with the community, for 2 you can already do it. You can add in Latte dock any plasma widget you want including "Show Desktop", just drag n' drop it from widgets explorer onto the dock

What the fuck was goes wrong with Latte 0.8.5. After the last update on my KDE Neon, Hovering Preview on Plasmoid, had stopped been working

Report

Version 0.8.8 2 months ago

* fix: multi-screen, unload properly explicit screen docks when its screen
is not available any more

update to v0.8.7 3 months ago

* fix: Show dock properly on first startup. New users where trying Latte but
it was reported that something broke during updates and on first startup
Latte was not appearing at all. Problem was tracked down and identified
when ~/.config/latte directory was not created properly. This is fixed now.

update to v0.8.6 4 months ago

* fix previews that broke after kde frameworks 5.55 update
* fix shortcuts behavior for applets when using "Multiple" layouts

update to v0.8.5 4 months ago

* FIX: important improvements for fillWidth(s)/Height(s) applets. Latte now
tries to use plasma panels as an example in order to provide very similar experience
with its Latte panels
* FIX: adjust Latte taskmanager in order to support new Plasma 5.15 Virtual Desktops interface
* improve: splitters positioning during startup for Justify alignment
* improve: --replace option in order to restart Latte properly for all systems
* fix: maximum length ruler behavior for Latte panels
* fix: create autostart folder when missing from user folder

update to v0.8.4 5 months ago

* FIX: restore mouse wheel action to activate your tasks that broke with v0.8.3
* FIX: support fillWidth(s)/Height(s) applets in Left/Center/Right alignments, add a plasma taskmanager to see what happens
* FIX: do not break applets order in Justify alignment when some of the applets in the layout are not found in the system
* fix: a crash that was related to grouped tasks
* fix: improve launchers synchronization between different docks/panels

update to v0.8.3 7 months ago

* FIX: support multi-screen plasmoids that use plasmoid.screenGeometry such as plasma pager, plasma taskmanagers etc. Latte did not update the plasmoid.screenGeometry value properly in previous versions
* FIX: do not crash when moving launchers that are being synced between multiple docks/panels
* FIX: make sure that launchers order between synced docks/panels is always the current one after the user has ended its dragging
* FIX: support fillWidth/Height plasmoids better (such as plasma taskmanagers), now such applets can be added for all alignments including Left/Center/Right
* FIX: do not show the warning message "Your layout file is broken" when the statement is not valid. This check validates that the containments and applets ids are unique in a layout file but the way this was implemented in the past it was returning false results in some cases

update to v0.8.2 7 months ago

* FIX: wrong placement of docks during startup for multi-screen environments
* FIX: show explicit docks automatically when their corresponding screen is added in a multi-screen environment
* fix: open files properly when dropping them on launchers
* fix: improve behavior according to Fitt's Law when shrinking panel margins
* fix: dont hide previews when hovering player buttons
* fix: update delete icons to plasma design
* fix: dont break BorderlessMaximized window default value

update to v0.8.1 9 months ago

second stable release for v0.8 branch

update to v0.8.0 11 months ago

third stable release of Latte

I love it! Q: Why my Latte is only v0.7.4 and there are no updates? I'm using official Kubuntu repos. Will it be updated with Kubuntu 19.04 or KDE Plasma 5.13?

- Definitely needs more work. Placing more than one plasmoid into a dock is very annoying. You have to re-open configuration of the dock every time you want to do it. Another pain in the neck is that it does not respect already inserted panels and icon grid. Therefore, placing it near icons or panels produces mess in your desktop.
