Awesome-Dock
- Created by me....
- A tasklist dock with pinned apps
- you can use it in your config (hopefully)
- but there are still lots of things to improve
More info
-
you can use this dock in your awesome config. but...
-
the catch is that. you need a spcific icon-theme in
/usr/share/icons
for pinned apps to work properly
but if your using the exact rice as mine, you don't have to worry about it
- You can customize the dock's colors, size, spacing, hide-timeout, etc in
theme/init.lua
-
example:
theme.awesome_dock_size = 80 theme.awesome_dock_pinned = { {"xterm", "terminal"}, {"spotify", "spotify"}, {"xterm"}, {"thunar"} } theme.awesome_dock_color_active = theme.accent theme.awesome_dock_color_inactive = theme.fg_color .. "66" theme.awesome_dock_color_minimized = theme.accent .. "33" theme.awesome_dock_color_hover = theme.fg_color .. "33" theme.awesome_dock_color_bg = theme.bg_color theme.awesome_dock_disabled = false theme.awesome_dock_spacing = 10 theme.awesome_dock_timeout = 1.2
-
to add more pinned apps you can do the following in
theme.lua
:--[[ table example: { "app command", "app class"} * `app command` is well. the command that launches that app * `app class` is the class or name of the app for icons. ]] theme.awesome_dock_pinned = { {"spotify", "spotify"}, {"xterm"}, {"thunar"} }
Todos
- Make dock's icon-handler identify global icon-theme
- Improve Ncmpcpp decorations
- Improve Notifications
- Polish Awesthetic-gtk-theme
