Dock fans, There is a wayland option

For old fans of a mac like dock. There’s a new kid on the block. It’s WAYLAND ONLY. It doesn’t have as many options as latte or the normal plasma panel but it works. It’s on wayland so its a win in my books.
Its called crystal dock. A project I though was long dead. but its back. Also has a flat mode if thats more your thing.

Personally i built it from source but there is also a AUR pkg. If you do end up trying it out make sure to add it to your autostart.

  • Some things to note. If you use the magic lamp effect. It will not minimize to the icon on the dock. But minimize where you click minimize.
  • If you click on the icon in the dock it works as you would expect.
  • If you use Better blur(force blur) you will have to comment out crystal dock.
  • An last this does not work on GNOME/Mutter.

The glass style looks so cool and reminiscent of early 2010s

Note that the crystyal-doc-git in AUR will install an Alpha version. If you want the latest “release” you will need to pull and build it yourself. The alpha version has crashed on me a couple of times, so going to try to build the latest release to see if its more stable.
