You dont have to disable the "Behave as normal dock window" option. You can just disable all touch gestures from plasma systemsettings, more info at: https://github.com/psifidotos/Latte-Dock/wiki/F.A.Q.#q-my-left-dock-behaves-strangely-from-plasma-510-and-beyond-can-i-fix-this - Dec 01 2017

in next version you will be able to enable/disable the panel shadows, change the transparency of the panel background and alter the widgets shadows(color, size, transparency)

there are no plans for supporting independent themes or 3D version, only what we get from the plasma theme

there are many launchpad like launchers that you can find as widgets to add them in Latte such as:
https://store.kde.org/p/1169537/
or from default plasma: fullscreen app launcher - Jul 28 2017

We found a solution for (1) and it is already added in our master branch...
it will land in 0.7 version...
all applets that have set fillWidth or fillHeight are respected and fill the remaining space... the calculations take into account the multiple use of them of course.. I tested it with three different active window plasmoids placed around and it worked really good... - Apr 08 2017

1. the only way to maximize the panel is with Justified mode. I use a similar layout with yours, if you want to disable the automatic shrinking you can got at Setting->Tweaks->(uncheck) Shrink applets when it is needed. In that way I am also using the Active Window applet with fixed width with no issues...

2. the size of the panel must be a division of 8 this is why 16,24,32,40,48 it is a smart way to support this way icon sizes that do not blur the icons in normal mode. The global menu layout of Active Window for 24 px. and 32px. I dont like it either but I think this could be also a feature request for its developer. I think that if Latte is used more and more the plasmoid developers will notice their plasmoids behavior and make look and behave more properly... On the other hand if plasmoid developers want something from our side that improves the experience, of course and we are open for suggestions, ideas etc....

3. Thank you very much for this... :) we designed multi-screen support from the ground up and put a lot of love and care in it... :) there is only once small bug in 0.6.0, filter tasks by screen is not working correctly between different screens... of course this has been fixed already and it will land with upcoming 0.6.1 version - Apr 04 2017

Does Fedora provide a package for it?
If it does you can just right click on the desktop->Panels->Now Dock Default Panel

if it doesnt the only way is to install it from source...

as a notice Now Dock development has been stopped and all development efforts have moved to Latte Dock:
https://github.com/psifidotos/Latte-Dock/

unfortunately Fedora has a bug for this according to reports from our user base of Latte and needs adjustments after installation... - Mar 13 2017

you need to use the python transparent panel gui to produce a plasma theme that has transparent panel at bottom (south)

Hello Python,

you can use the following for Feature Requests and Bugs, please report there:

https://github.com/psifidotos/nowdock-plasmoid/issues
https://github.com/psifidotos/nowdock-panel/issues

just try to create different issues for each bug or feature request... some of which you are mentioning are already implemented... for example different launchers per activity or global launchers...

currently I am working on adding some features in the core plasma codepage... I hope that before Plasma 5.9 release I will go for the following:

1. transparent panels independent of theme (this has already been merged in plasma for 5.9)
2. automatic resizing of the panel's height based on the user's choices
(zoom factor and icon size)
3. panel masking (real transparent panels - the mouse events are going to the windows below the panel in the areas that it is transparent) - Nov 13 2016

The plasmoid must be in the panel. What is missing I think is a plasma theme that is going to have that spesific panel transparent. You should use the following python script/gui:
https://dl.opendesktop.org/api/files/download/id/1473029935/plasma-transparent-panel.py.v0.2.2.tar.gz

extract it and click on transparent.sh, it should help you to create that special theme from any of your system's themes.

Important Notice: You must disable the Desktop Effects, Blur and Window Contrast after you enable the specialized theme

thank u @lucaslima,

for "not-so-smooth width resizing of the panel" actually this is based on the plasma panel implementation and I havent found a way to overcome it... This is why I am setting alsmost a double panel width in order not to need to resize itself

for "window management options" are you referring to "minimize, maximize etc.", I didnt include them in order to not clutter the menu choices, you can open a ticket for this in the project's github page,

Happy to hear!

1) Dragging an item to rearrange them has been implemented but you need to have your widgets locked in order to work

2) the blank space for firefox happens all the time? If you open a firefox window and then close it, does the firefox launcher is still blank?

3) define a custom icon for a launcher is a feature request? open in the github page please: https://github.com/psifidotos/nowdock-plasmoid/issues... To be honest I dont know if this feature is needed.... - Sep 06 2016

Various Plasma 5 Improvements by Psifidotos 51 comments

thanks gzu...

how to use the Now Dock Panel:

- you install from master branch the Now Dock Plasmoid, https://github.com/psifidotos/nowdock-plasmoid

- you install from master branch the Now Dock Panel,
https://github.com/psifidotos/nowdock-panel

to install them you can use for each "plasmapkg2 -i" or "plasmapkg2 -u" for update. For Plasma a panel is just a plasmoid with special behavior.

After that you Unlock your Widgets and in you "Add Panel" list there is a record called "Empty Now Dock Panel",

that's all ... The Now Dock Panel is just a Plasma panel and uses fully its infrastructure...

Tips:
1. If you download the master branch for Now Dock Panel you can simply install it with the command:
plasmapkg2 - i nowdock-panel-master.zip

2, If you download the master branch for Now Dock Plasmoid you can can simply update it with the command:
plasmapkg2 -i nowdock-plasmoid-master.zip - Aug 31 2016
