Maybe its not a really dramatic problem but to me its irritating.See when set an indicator like the one in mac and uncheck the box link indicator with icon then the image of the indicator somehow looses on color and you can see the reflection of the icon threw it.But the problem is that if i check the box i solve this problem but when i select the bounce animation for my icons the indicator jumps together with icon and it looks awful

More informations can be useful : which Cairo-Dock version you use, option (cairo or openGL), windows manager, graphic card, etc.
A screen-shot can help too.
Otherwise, the bug you reported look like one I reported some time ago. Can you confirmed (It's in french but you can see the screen-shots and a video) ?

I use cairo dock 2.2.0-4 and no open GL.ANd yes its similar to the problem you had (i think at least) but its more about the fact that when i select or uncheck the box link indicator with icon that the indicator looks somehow blured the reflection of the icon is in its way you cant see it good .I hope i explained it well:(

probably because in case the indicator is on the dock, it's drawn before the icon, and i ncase it's on the icon, it's drawn after
a screenshot could help visualizing the problem

Its a small difference but its still annoying!!!

And the problem is that in second case i cant use the bounce animation because the indicator bounces with the icon and it looks ugly but on the other hand i think that it would be stupid to be forced to not using an animation because of this "bug" So please people solve this !!!:)

the indicator bounces with the icon

well if they are linked, that sounds normal to me
that's why there is an option to choose to link them or not.
anyway I'm waiting for more opinions on this.

I think its only logical to render the icon of the indicator over the one of the reflection since the indicator is more important.Tell me if i´m wrong!

If you right-click the dock and choose configure->appearance->indicators
On the first tab there is an option/checkbox that reads "Draw indicator above the icon?", uncheck that and the indicator will stop bouncing with the icon.
Using Cairo-Dock 2.2.0-4.

Hope this helps someone
