Added a "Dock" to My Dark Ice GTK Themed XFCE Desktop

Unread post by lakes »

I decided to add a 2nd panel/taskbar as a dock like the one on MacOS. Because I saw someone else do it and felt inspired even though my current theme looks nothing like a mac.

Looks pretty cool, I know that's possible on Windows too but I forgot the name of that software, but it was common in themes back in the 2000s. Also out of curiosity, why is there an USA flag on your taskbar? Does it represent the keyboard language you're typing in?

Yeah the USA flag is my keyboard layout. I also forget what the name of it is. But if you remember, you might wanna include it in the resources page, assuming it still works.

After some research, I found it, it's called Rocket Dock and it works from Win 2000 to above.

Yeah, the pale firefox is librewolf. I found a set of firefox icons with the fox recolored to be white/black. I decided to use it for librewolf. Since the icon's already white and blue. Plus the white makes it look less like a fox and more like a wolf in my opinion. I might share them in the icons subforum if I find them. I had to convert it to a svg format since it's originally an ico file.

the one i used on windows similar to cairo-dock was called winstep nexus, its still around but im unsure if it works on modern windows versions.

there was also one made by the same people who made windowblinds but i know for sure that one doesn't work on modern windows.
