you're kidding, right? the config dialog alone makes me want to puke, but it sort of misses the point that the plasma project exists to create a coherent set of such tools that work well together and with the kde applications. > It is written with GTK inside, but this one is mainly used for the main > loop and to build the menus. > except for that, it only has usual dependancies : cairo, glx, dbus and > libxml, and runs smoothly on a KDE desktop. and it can run plasmoids, i suppose? theme works with krunner and kwin? let's look at it another way. which is harder and provides a more consistent user experience: * a dock written with plasma * making cairo-dock integrate with plasma > So my proposal is : what about making a Kairo-Dock ? i honestly don't think you've really thought it through properly. i do think you saw it's release last week and got all excited about it. which obviously trumps actually thinking from a design perspective, right? i mean, why design things properly when we can just hack together a collection of odds and ends? this is now the third such thread on this list in the last month that approaches things from a "hack it together because it doesn't _really_ matter what the resulting solution will look like" perspective, and i'm growing increasingly tired of that. it is not the plasma way. -- Aaron J.
