[theadrian]

Can I please make a request that DockbarX be included in the repository? I have not found it anywhere.

Thanks.

DockbarX is becoming a bit of a pain, there is now a GTK3 version but this one doesn’t work with the dockbarx xfce panel plugin.

I was going to repackage the older GTK2 version so that folks could also use the panel plugin. The GTK2 version was working fine in the MX-19 betas.

I can package both but that might be a bit confusing for users.

I'm also looking forward to dockbarx and the xfce panel plugin which is a very useful add on to the distribution ))

I am working on the GTK3 version, it looks like Arch as both dockbarx and the plugin built for GTK3.

Rebuilding the GTK2 version would be easier and quicker, but that means bringing in packages that are no longer available, and that isn’t a good long term solution as it won’t work with XFCE 4.16 once they drop support for GTK2.

I understand these are hot packages for a lot of users, please be patient as we do this in our free time.

You're taking a risk adding an Ubuntu PPA. There are warnings about this in various places, including the MX FAQs.

Enough said.
