Hey Garveen!!

thanks for the tip, I didn't knew it was on the official repos :D

The only problem I've got now, is that magnification doesn't seem to work... I try to hit on the Zoom checkbox but it never gets checked, so no zoom is performed... do you know how can I change this? maybe the style file...

Also, firefox icon has changed from its original to another (the original is only available on 48px or more). Do you know where can I get a smaller icon and how can I do to use it on docky?

Many thanks in advance.

@Cibeles Sorry, I haven't installed 2.0.8. I'm now using whatever version available in repos (2.0.7 as of this writing). So I can't really comment, but you can check the significant changes in Docky projects Changelog.

Hi Gaveen,

Have you tried Docky 2.0.8 on F14? if so is it more stable? is the same procedure than with 2.0.7 or should we do anything different?
Thanks in advance for your great job.

cheers

@Cibele: You are welcome. :)

@TrickyHarry: It's really good to see you taking the initiative to search for the solutions. :)

For compositing you can either use Compiz or GNOME's inbuilt compositing (which is lighter and less capable than Compiz).

I'm really glad things worked out for you and thank you for spending your time to provide me feedback.

Hi Gaveen,

- I have enabled Compiz and that has resolved the problem. Compiz was not supported with the nvidia noveau driver.

I am now back as was in F13.

Thanks again.

Hi Gaveen,

1. I have switched to the nvidia video driver now and I am still getting the tall black back-ground area that blocks out my lower portion of my screen. This is about 3-4 times the height of the docklets.

2. When I started docky from the menu, I got a pop stating that "docky needs to
compositing to work properly - please enable compositing"
-- I am not sure what that means ..

Hi Gaveen,

Thanks for the update. I was indeed getting serious issues with the F13 installation notes.

I have followed this latest set on notes and I have now been able to deploy docky without error. Thanks for the updated instructions.

On F13 I was using the nvidia binary video and Docky was visible in the bottom pane. Now with F14 I am using the noveau video driver.

With the driver, docky has a large banner, about 3x the hight of the docklets. Unfortunately this seems to be lower bound of my window area ... When docky started up, with Nvidia, the banner would be seen, but the video card
would manage this.

I should be installing the nvidia drivers to see the differences. Still early days with F14.

I have my favourite Docky back now ... back to work ...
