Indeed, it is the best dock.
Recently I have noticed weird behavior. Zoom on hover effect works smoothly as long as cursor hovers over the dock, as soon as cursor is outside the dock, there is a significant delay before last icon (where cursor was) returns to its original size. Same issue on different user and after re-installation. It has nothing to do with "delay" setting in "Behavior" tab ;-)
Have you faced such issue before?

please use https://bugs.kde.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=latte-dock for bugs/features. You may try to increase animations speed from Appearance page. If this isnt the thing then open a new bug report and attach also a video demonstrating the issue (e.g. from google drive)

Why in the package deb is the file plasma-applet-audoban.applet.separator.desktop? This is another widget and I have it installed https://store.kde.org/p/998907/ It is not possible to install the latte dock. The package manager reports an attempt to replace the file plasma-applet-audoban.applet.separator.desktop and does not want to install the latte dock.

That separator is important part of Latte and that is why it is distributed with it.
You can remove the separator you have installed and afterwards install Latte, it will work just fine...
and by the way I am not the maintainer of the deb file

It is very strange. In this case, write a warning for those who installed the separator widget. Or make sure separator is automatically removed by dependencies.

Just installed it v0.8 on my Kubuntu 18.04 Plasma 5.12.6 from Discover app center but nothing happens when right click, so no config at all. Any Help?

bug reports at: https://bugs.kde.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=latte-dock but sounds more as a kubuntu packaging issue, it might be better to contact the packager

Sorry if I sound not-so-bright, but who's the packager?, I have Kubuntu installation from scratch daily updated, all versions of plasma, frameworks and Qt matches Latte requirements. I installed it from Discover so I don't miss any dependency... what am I missing? There's gotta be something I did wrong since I can't find any related issue on forums.

I can add a widget to the dock. But how do I remove a widget from the dock?

Report

Aaah, found it. Go into Latte Settings, then hover over the widget and click the little red x that appears. A bit strange that it's different than for regular launchers, but hey it works.

Report

yep, that is... the way to do this is the same as in plasma panels in order for the plasma users to not change their workflow.

I want to love this, but why cant I add any ".desktop" to it that are in ~/.local/share/applications? I try to drag them over and when I drop them nothing happens.

I just found out now that Latte Plasmoid and Latte Dock are 2 different things.

update to v0.8.4 23 days ago

update to v0.8.3 1 month 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 2 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

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.
