The applet allows you to:
- Place a dock on any MATE panel, of any size, on any side of the desktop you desire.
- Pin and unpin apps to the dock
- Rearrange application icons on the dock
- Launch apps by clicking on their icons in the dock
- Minimize/unminimize running app windows by clicking the app's dock icon
- Detect changes in the current icon theme and update the dock accordingly
- Use an indicator by each app to show when it is running
- Optionally, use multiple indicators for each window an app has open
- Use either a light or dark indicator that it can always be seen no matter what colour the panel is
Ubuntu and Mint users can install from the PPA kindly provided by webupd8
For Arch users, there's a package in the AUR.
Users of other distros will need to install from source, so cd to the directory containing all of the development files and run:
automake --add-missing
autoreconf
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install
This is a little more involved. First download gir1.2-wnck-1.0 for arm architechure from here and install it with sudo dpkg -i. Then install other dependencies - sudo apt-get install git autoreconf libglib2.0-dev
From this point the instrcutions above for compiling from source should be followed.
Depends on:
Python3
gir1.2-wnck-1.0
Running on Arch with a Unity style layout
Running on Ubuntu with a Windows 7 style layout
Running on a Raspberry Pi 2 with Ubuntu MATE
