Hi There,
I've tried the new beta version of cairo-dock and it works well.
I've tried to create 2 docks at the same time, with different themes and icons as showed in the youtube vid.
It works fine just until i restart my computer. Than it becomes 1 dock with a different theme and different icons.
I even tried to save them under the tab themes, but it's always the same result when i restart my computer.
Anyone who knows what i'm doing wrong?

Cairo-dock version 2.2.0 beta
Ubuntu 10.04
OpenGL
GTK as window manager
Gnome

didn't you log-in under a different name ?
try a "chmod -R 777 ~/.config/cairo-dock"
before you re-try

Thanks for the reply.
I never log-in under a different name. 1 Pc = 1 user.
Then i did a chmod -R 777 ~/.config/cairo-dock in the terminal and re-tried.
Nothing changed.
Then i tried to put GLX-dock 2 times in the start-up menu and restart my pc.
Now it opens 2 times glx-dock, but 2 times the same dock at the same place.
Maybe there's something that i don't see.
Isn't there an option like " make a new subdock" to make a new maindock?
Because now i just click twice on clx-dock to open 2 times the dock.

If you want to have 2 docks (or more), there are 2 solutions (or maybe more ):
  • Launch 2 times the dock but specify another directory in order to split the configuration:
    cairo-dock -o ## 1st dock
    cairo-dock -o -d ~/.config/cairo-dock2 ## 2d dock
  • But there is a easier way: Do a right click on a launcher or an applet / Move to another dock / Create a new main dock ;)

I've added a "add a main dock" option on the menu, but the way Matttbe described is faster, since you will have to put icons inside it anyway

Now it works very well.
Thanks a lot!!!
