Hiding the Dock

[woomia]

Can you add an option that allows the dock to be hidden/autohidden? It takes up a chunk of real estate I could use.

This is not implemented yet. We are not sure whether the Dock is here to stay or whether it will be replaced with something like this.

helloSystem/Menu#21

ksmoothdock has a lot of KDE depends BUT this where the autohide code lives:

https://github.com/dangvd/ksmoothdock/blob/master/src/view/dock_panel.h

Cool. Can you open a feature request in https://github.com/cyberos/cyber-dock/issues/new please regarding auto-hide, mentioning these links? Our Dock is based on that project's Dock. Thanks for your help!

[woomia]

You got it!

In my opinion, the Dock is perfect, it only needs some adjustments and functionalities. According to me (and I think most) removing the dock would be a mistake.

Okay, I figured where the config file for cyber-dock hides, it's called dock.conf and Its in /home/user/.config/cyberos
it looks like this:
[General]
Direction=1
IconSize=54
Visibility=1

Creating a file in helloSystem doesn't work, its either ignored, or causes the system to freeze but might be a good place to start if you want to enable this feature.

We would probably need to port over the helloSystem specific changes to the newest version of https://github.com/cutefishos/dock, or port their changes into our version (but not the Cutefish OS specific dependencies).

If anyone has some time, please consider sending a pull request.

That would be awesome!!

Best wishes to you @kettle-7.
Yes, this would be great.

I have done a dock like this, but in wayland and not designed for x but maybe I can port it.

[probonopd]

Thanks. Please note that we need autohide to be ported into the helloSystem dock, not some other dock.
Because the helloSystem dock has integration with application directories.

[kettle-7]

Yes, fortunately this was for something I tried with the helloSystem desktop on wayland. It didn't work out very well but I got the appdir integration well.

I noticed this when trying to using another dock, its just not the same.

I'm definitely in the "keep the dock" crowd, I just want to hide it.

Someone would need to port the CutefishOS Dock helloSystem/Dock#24.
