How do I install it in my Kali Linux KDE environment? Software Center doesn't show latte-dock and I tried to compile from the source but it didn't succeed.

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.

Report

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

Report

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?

Report

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

Report

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.

Version 0.8.8 1 month ago

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

update to v0.8.7 2 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 3 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 3 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 4 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 6 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 6 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 8 months ago

second stable release for v0.8 branch

update to v0.8.0 10 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.
