Here's the MX 19 through 23 packages if you want to get them before they hit the test repos:

Thanks,it's working perfectly on MX 21.3

I just want to add, that the newest docklike version has all issues I had with the version before, but one issue more.

So it's better to stick with the older version.

@Stevo
Maybe you can add the version 0.4.0 to stable repo?

Not knowing what your issues are offhand, have you tested 0.4.0 to make sure it resolves them, and reported your problems to the plugin's developers?

Looking at MX Package Installer you will find this on MX21 XFCE.

This is in Enabled Repos
Package: xfce4-docklike-plugin
Version: 0.4.0+git20211128-1~mx21+1

This is in MX Test Repo
Package: xfce4-docklike-plugin
Version: 0.4.1-0.1~mx21+1

So you should be able reinstall the 0.4.0 version as the 0.4.1 is in Test.

(No need to test version 0.4.0 because I have used this version for about a year until yesterday.)
Version 0.4.0 does only resolve the issue, that is new in version 0.4.1.
Wich issue do I know?
A: In v. 0.4.0 I was able to close the open windows by clicking on the icon with the middle mouse button. This does no longer work in v. 0.4.1 . (And yes I have set the option in settings to "close all apps" with the middle mouse button.)

This may be true in MX-21, but not in MX-19 .

The version in the main repos is newer than 0.4.0, having been built from a git pull of the source after 0.4.0 was released.

Had the developer replied to a bug report about this problem?

I will make a bug report.

There is already a bug report for this new issue:
https://gitlab.xfce.org/panel-plugins/x ... /issues/58

(The bug report is from 2 months ago. So I don't have much hope that it will be fixed within the next few months.)
