Using Docky or Cairo with LXDE
Posted: Fri Feb 04, 2011 2:26 pm
Hi,
I am very new to LXDE. I have previously been an Ubuntu/Gnome user.
I am trying to setup a dock bar in Lubuntu 10.10. I have added @xcompmgr and @docky to the autostart file but still get black boxes around my docks and a message from docky saying I need to enable compositing.
Can anyone help? Are there better solutions than using Docky, Cairo, Awn for a good looking dock type interface?
I only recently started using Docky and enjoy using it. I know there are reasons not to use it (Mono etc) but I like its look and simplicity. How resource heavy is it? Will it slow down my LXDE experience considerably.
Thanks for the help.
