X11 only is a bit of a bummer although I’m not surprised - i don’t think i’d target Wayland either for this sort of thing if i was a happy x11 user already.
Yes, indeed. The next I will be working with is Wayland. Let's see how hard that will be. I am sure there will be applet that I will never be able to port like Window killer that users xkill, etc.
I'm actually curious about that - this seems like something that should at least partially work through XWayland? Blindly speculating, it might not work against existing windows, but I'd expect things like system monitors and launching apps to not care.
Tested today, most of it works using XWayland. Some applets won't like windows killer as it uses xkill, also some feature like window preview as Wayland do not give access to other screens, but also features like having the dock follow the mouse across different monitors.
To be honest, I am not sure, I will be working on those as the next big thing for Docking. I am uncertain of how much I can achieve on Wayland. Looking forward.
I do not have a bar that I can put everything I want, so I created it, as many other developers have created a dock bar, just like MacOS has its own, etc, et.
MacOS has a dock because the menu bar it has is useless. Very few Windows users install this kind of dock app because the taskbar is NOT useless. On Linux, most DEs allow you to customize the bar. I use quickshell and gnome, but kde or polybar same.
People make software to bloat other people's computers, that's true
heuh https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=docking
Words have many meanings and we somehow don't change old ones because someone used them in dirty context.

Haha, I am not native speaker as you can imagine. The idea here is more of a space ship/rocket docking into a base.
Hehe, yeah i understand, just something that popped up. Great project!

Some relatively aggressive mainstream modern distributions — such as Fedora — have already gone fully Wayland. That is a problem.

very cool project with a very unfortunate name
The rocket docking into a base was the meaning, regardless of the other usages :-)

Error installing from .deb: Dependency is not satisfiable: python 3.10. So I have to downgrade from 3.12 to use this?
I have a tentative fix on the way https://github.com/edumucelli/docking/commit/7ddcdeae42e8277... -- the deb file will be arch specific now as well
Thanks, I will fix that one and get back to you
You have a customizable bar in your DE, put everything you need into that bar, why a second bar?
