So, i just installed this in a vm. The dock dosent start and i dont know how to activate it. Also, i have installed dolphin for (reasons) and it appears as if i have no icons, this is probably because i have to set them somewhere but if you want this to become a "distro" i think some icons for folders and stuff would also be nice. (again, its probably my fault, but im a noob).

I'm assuming you've installed Plank using sudo pacman -S plank

And to start the Dock you'll need to move the pixarch/flavours/i3/config file to your ~/.config/i3 folder
(I am assuming you have already done this)

This should start the dock.

To get the icons working, you'll have to do a little bit of work as the installation script for this is still yet to be made.
First of all, I am assuming that you have cloned the repo on the ~/ directory.
Navigate to ~/pixarch/applications/dock and open each and every .desktop file
You'll see a line called

Icon=/home/heisenburgh/pixarch/icons/app.ico

Now, all you have to do is replace "heisenburgh" with your own username.
Lastly, move all the .desktop files from the pixarch/applications/dock directory to /usr/share/applications directory and reboot.

Sorry it's such a hassle right now, it's a wip and so much is left to do!

Ok so i've done the stuff, for anyone else wondering why it dosent work you have to do this
cd ~/pixarch/applications/dock

sudo pacman -S nano (my choise)

nano Alacrity.desktop

And change
Icon=/home/YOURNAME/pixarch/media/icons/aseprite.ico

#You forgot about the media folder

Repeat for the rest

Shouldn't be because of the VM.
What exactly isn't working?

Hmmm
This shouldn't happen

Can you remove and re-install the Dock?
Or...
one thing you can do is
Open up a terminal
And just type in plank

Then can you share the Log you get there
