Description: FIRST OF ALL ========================= i'm not completely sure about the license, so, if i have to remove this post, please contact me. ======================================
New in this version: I made the overall bar prettier -again-, to me at least, backdrops are now colorized for active window!!... and fixed a bug, see changelog
as always, old versions included
Awright. The first thing you want to do, since this is a mod, is to install this original version:
then just extract and run the install.sh script and it will install itself automagically... should the script fail, run these commands(inside the folder you just extracted, assuming you installed the unmodified one right):
And that should be it, if you have the original version running, delete it from the panel and add it again to get the new code running.
by the way, this mod doesn't work on vertical panels (yet...)
Thanks to rassen for the idea.Last changelog:
Mod-1 - Changed the way -almost- everything was drawn on the screen - Changed the launcher_icon.png
Mod-2 - Removed backdrop from launchers - Fixed ugly 'red background' from windows calling attention
Mod-3 - Fixed bug when windows in a group with not all windows minimized was asking for attention - Active window backdrop is now colorized according to the color of the icon on it
Btw, I found a bug in it. If you switch to a group of findows, e.g. firefox, the popup list won't show then. So you're unable to switch to another window in the same group. And sometimes it fail to remove the window even if it's closed but this is too inconsistent and rare.
The main code is not mine, so i can't tell you exactly what's going on... anyways i haven't been able to reproduce the 'can't see list' one... odd
and about the other one... maybe your programs aren't killing themselves right? just a guess...
however if you feel like contributing, file those bugs at
https://launchpad.net/dockbar
if they aren't there already
The way to reproduce is easy:
1) open some firefox windows, they should be under the single icon on the panel.
2) click the icon twice to minimize and maximize windows. You'll notice a popup window with the list of firefox'es.
3) move a cursor away to make the popup window dissapear.
4) hove the icon again with the mouse. A window should pop-up, but it doesn't.
There is no such bug in the vanilla dockbar and it's modification dockbarX, so you might broke something apparently.

It seems that I found the problem (btw, only in mod-2 and mod-3, mod-1 seems working):
