You've done a nice job, but I think your project still needs a lot of polish. The zooming is very unsmooth, and the bouncing effect is quite slow.

I know, this all sounds like negative criticism, but I think every good app has its weak points. You're on the right track though.

good job.

I mistakenly pressed "Save"
Here are more things :

Provide some sort of README and INSTALL file:
A lack of a README file leaves the user hanging. I know this is open source, but one of the most important things about software programming is taking the users into account. Here you have left "clues" for us as to what to do.

Make your generic xml file, generic. You have hardcoded references to your own icon directories, which does not help me much. Isn't there a default directory you could use. Maybe, ~/.kde/share/icons or something.

Provide some instructions about the theme files you've included. I tried to modify the XML file, but without proper documentation I could only guess as to what each of the fields actually stood for.

I realize, the author of the program says he will not be reading the comments from the site and he'd rather read emails, but I thought other people might find this useful.

cheers

And its not universally slow ... I mean it drags if I run it on mandrake but its super smooth (and so much like OS X) on SuSE 9.0.

Memory needs

I use kxdocker 0.11 instead of kicker.
For me it's ok, the only problem is that it's too memory-consuming.
After load it eats 37MB of RAM... I don't know how to reduce the amount of memory needed from this software.

gcc 3.3.2 ¿Suse?

Hi!

If you can't compile with gcc 3.3.2 ('internal compiler error' or something like this) check your version with parameter '--version', you have to upgrade to gcc 3.3.3 to get it work. It seems to be a Suse gcc 3.3.2 distribuition problem.

Kxdocker looks well, but there are some issues that let me stay with kicker for now.

(1) I tried it, but I simply can not change the docker size to eg. 64. When I change the theme-png's Kxdocker simply ignores them and a SIZE attribute does not seem to exist in the config XML.

(2) Additionally I can not distinguish between icons that refer to an opened app or a command. Ok, there is that tiny arrow, but it seems that the task manager icons appear somewhere between the command icons - I expected a kind of separation. Also I have the problem that Kxdocker doesn't recognize multiple applications, eg. if I opened multiple windows of KIconEdit only one is shown in the taskbar. Once you fixed this, I like to ask you to implement 'task grouping' and 'show only apps on this desktop', configurable on/off each.

Ok, what I write here, is a bit unfair. I was looking for a task manager that looks well and got a tool that promised a lot - new features with each release, but all these features are only half implemented. For a start, Kxdocker looks great to me, however, but I will stay with kicker until Kxdocker is matured. And that may take a long time.

Best regards

hi!
this is going to be exactly what i'm looking for

0.15 works great on SuSE 9.0 with kde 3.2.2, even with gcc3.3.2...no problem!

i also had a look at your configurator- preview!

there is (going to be) a funktion to put kxdocker on the top or right/left side

plz make this thing work!

yours would be the only docker i know witch can change position, and i want to keep my kde-taskbar on the bottom (because of the tray-icons...i need them!)
is there a way to configure that manually till the configurator works..?

thanks for your work!

greets!

How about "backporting" it to KDE 3.1.x (3.1.4 atleast)? Wish to use this desperately on my Xandros desktop but its only 3.1.4 :-(
