You can install latte from AUR, and afterwards run latte-dock, right click anywhere in the dock and choose Latte Settings

Thank you for replying, I did install it from AUR, also I installed it from the +Widgets area and it does install and I can indeed go into the Prefrences, that is not the issue here, no matter what version I install or from where I install it I do not get the Appearance menu, I even did a clean install just to rule it out, I have no control of the zoom or profile or what the dock does (visible, intelihide, etc) Now, a couple of versions back I know latte-dock did have that menu, it was just tricky to get at. Any help is greatly appreciated.

As you can see in the pic in the link the screen is blank with no options. And this holds true regardless of how I run it, install it or what ISO or system I install it.

this is the Latte plasmoid and not the Latte app...

go to terminal and run latte-dock, what is happening?
error messages?
nothing happens?

but from the screenshot I think that Latte is not installed correctly...

Ok, I removed latte-dock alltogether from mi system, I went into AUR and installed the 0.6.0 and I ran from terminal and I have the menu I used to have!!!!! It seems to be working. I will say I was runing from terminal versions 0.5.8 and 0.5.9. Thank y-all so much for the assist!

How can i add kde application menu widget and system tray widget to latte dock. I can see clock available as default but can't figure out how to add other installed widgets.
Also how to add other application launchers to this dock. I tried drag and drop which does not work and no option to add other application launchers even if i right click

drag n' drop from official plasma widgets explorer...

the dock needs to be built and installed... afterwards it runs with just executing 'latte-dock'.... Depending on your distro it may a package for 0.6 is already provided by it... Arch has already included 0.6 version and for openSUSE is just a matter of hours...

thanks, I use Manjaro and installed from AUR git package. Currently running 0.6.
Is it possible to drag and move plasma widgets icons like application launchers icon within the dock. If not wud it be feasible to add this feature in future release for latte dock.

Psifidotos

you can drag n' move plasma widgets when you are in editing mode (editing mode is when the Latte configuration window is shown)

In editing mode the Lock/unlock icon overlays the widget/launcher icon and one has to place the mouse pointer away from lock icon towards the top edge of widget icon to drag. please show dark icon on light background instead of grey and reduce the overlay square for lock / unlock to minimum.

Just installed this via Discover, but I can't find any way to get it to show on my Plasma desktop on Kubuntu 16.10. I search in "Add widgets" under "Latte" and also under "Dock" but nothing shows. I do the same in the application menu and nothing shows.

I also tried installing from Plasma's "add widgets" menu. The widget browser shows Latte under the "Installed" category, but once again, I don't see any way to actually add it to my desktop.

Hi Bugsbane
I think for the version 0.6 is a matter of a few hours
but if you are impatient, you can try installing the master branch
please read this...

Great dock! No issues for me so far (I'm using it as a plank alternative). However, is there any way to adjust the spacing between icons? Thanks!

Psifidotos

if you mean how far will be the icons between them, it doesnt offer this feature yet...

With all the updates and fixes the newest 0.5.98 release has, this is a killer dock! Thank you for all the hard work and taking feedback into consideration!!
