Hello:

I installed Cairo-Dock a few days a go and am really liking it. I still maintain a couple of XFCE panels to do things that Cairo-Dock doesn't do, but all in all this dock is a big improvement over the way I used to do things!

System information is as follows:

Cairo Dock version 3.3.99.beta1.2.really.3.3.2-0ubuntu2.1
XFCE in Xubuntu Trusty Tahr
No OpenGL
Compton window manager

I have my main dock icons configured to a size of 40 by 40, with a spacing of 5, and with no zoom. I have several sub-docks, rendered with images. When I hover the mouse cursor over a sub-dock, the icons in it are larger than those in the main dock, and they get bigger still when I move the mouse cursor over them. I haven't been able to find a way to make them smaller and to disable the zoom effect. It seems that the configuration of icon size and zooming only apply to the main dock, not to sub-docks. Is there a way to configure the size and zoom behaviour of ALL icons, or to make them inherit the properties of the main dock? (I don't mind editing files if necessary).

Thanks!

Hi

The zoom may depend on the view used for the dock.

You won't have zooms for a panel view.

To make icons smaller, IIRC only the panel view has a %ratio size option, so for other modes, you'd have to edit each icon size.

Edit: didn't understood you talked about subdocks, you may have to look at settings for the "slide" view (can't check now but I think it has ratio and zoom options)

Thanks! The Slide View settings are exactly what I'm looking for.

PS I also love the ability to assign a custom icon for currently opened applications.
