Keep Up the Good Work!

[David Hollander]

I use all 3 major OSes, but DO and Docky have made linux my default.
Very satisfied user. Keep up the good work!

additional thoughts:
-The Timer docklet is my favorite. Timers always make me more
productive (used to use workrave and some custom python scripts)
-Can't use 3D background mode (weird corrupted graphics, dev version)
but that's kind of trivial to me
-I completely removed gnome-panel, much happier with no panels on
screen.
-Now I just need someway to see the gnome start menu software tree
from DO. Autocompleting "main menu" displays everything, but I can't
actually launch the shortcuts from there. "Run"+tab results are a bit
unorganized.

We welcome feedback on how to improve the timers. I don't really use
them (and don't think any dev does).

There is a bug report on this. Basically, we have determined that it
is video driver bugs causing this. Users have reported switching
drivers or driver versions usually fixes it.

I don't know about Do, but it seems you are launching the 'configure
main menu' prefs dialog. What you might want to do is the following:

Set the gconf key "/apps/docky-2/Docky/Items/DockyItem/
DockyItemCommand" to this string:

xvkbd -text "\[Alt_L]\[F1]"

This requires having xvkbd installed, so install that package if you
don't already have it.

Then when you click the Docky icon you will get the main menu to pop
up there. I do not know if this will work without gnome-panel! I
have a tiny panel in one corner with only the indicators on it that
auto-hides. Works well for me.
