No unfortunately not.

ok, here's a workaround.


1. change a setting in the docklike plugin settings. doesn't matter what. you can reach the settings via a right-click on the plugin or from mx-tweak/panel tab.
2. once the setting is changed, edit ~/.config/xfce4/panel/docklike-2.rc (number might be different).
3. remove the firefox entry from the "pinned=" tab.
4. Without loging out first, restart the panel with "xfce4-panel --restart".

The plugin now has some support for CSS to modify the appearance of the dock. You can set the indicator style to none to use only CSS.

pinned=/usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop;/usr/share/applications/thunar.desktop;
indicatorStyle=0
indicatorOrientation=4
indicatorColor=rgb(229,165,10)
inactiveColor=rgb(119,118,123)

No one reported it that I saw, but also have a double indicators issue cropping up for the plugin now that we are doing CSS theming on the docklike plugin with our MX themes.

I remember there being a "gotcha" with that from the docklike wiki...

The plugin now has some support for CSS to modify the appearance of the dock. You can set the indicator style to none to use only CSS.

I edited my ~/.config/xfce4/panel/docklike-2.rc to indicatorStyle=3 (none) and it gets rid of the redundant blue rectangle.

But if a user decides they don't want orange bars or the indicator style that comes with a theme... they can't change those settings or they'll get double the indicator styles in the dock. If they change themes (to say Numix) and have indicatorStyle set to none, they won't have indicators at all, because not all themes style docklike.

My recommendation is to let docklike control the indicator style portion (rest of the CSS theming looks fine). If we want a default indicator style, I can set that in a default docklike-2.rc and include it in the package. This way the user has the ability to adjust it through the docklike settings.

This duplicates the CSS theme pretty well.

Code: Select all

pinned=/usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop;/usr/share/applications/thunar.desktop;
indicatorStyle=0
indicatorOrientation=4
indicatorColor=rgb(229,165,10)
inactiveColor=rgb(119,118,123)

Does that sound reasonable?

When I installed the latest updates to mx-comfort-themes, I got this message:

Code: Select all

(dpkg-preconfigure:4156): Gtk-WARNING **: 14:25:33.519: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:103:0: Missing semicolon at end of color definition

(dpkg-preconfigure:4154): Gtk-WARNING **: 14:25:33.621: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:103:0: Missing semicolon at end of color definition

Not sure which gtk.css file's line 103 though. It's not the .../dist/gtk.css file.

I don't recall that message popping up the previous update to comfort themes just 1 or 2 days before this latest one.


@chrispop99 the checkboxes in mxpi and other Qt apps should now be in white when you use comfort-dark.

@JayM the colour of selected filenames in Thunar should now be white when you use comfort (light).

Could you 2 test to confirm the issues are sorted now?

The only folder in /.config is "pulse".
Through catfish I've found a docklike.rc file in /etc/xdg/xfce4/panel/ and it indeed has a the pinned entry. But the workaround does not work for me. No mater what I make.
