V0.78

There main changes in this version of the applet are:

  • 5 new types of indicators have been added
  • It is now possible to add space between dock icons
  • When an app requires attention from the user, it is now possible to display a badge on the app's icon, rather than have it blink on and off

Circle:

Square:

The preferences dialog has been updated to allow the new indicators to be selected:

indicator preferences

On Gtk3 versions of the applet, the indicators will be drawn using the current theme's highlight colour. This is not possible with Gtk2 (e.g. on Ubuntu Mate 16.04), but it is possible to manually set a suitable colour using the Fallback colour option on the Misc tab of the preferences dialog.

App spacing

A new preferences option has been added which allows extra space to be added between dock icons.

app spacing preference

Valid values are between 0 and 7.

0 - tightly packed

app spacing 0

7 - a bit less cramped ....

app spacing 7

Attention setting

A new preferences option has been added to select whether an app should blink its icon on and off, or just display a badge.

preferences attention

The badge (showing an exclamation mark) is displayed in the top left of the dock icon as below:

The colour of the badge will always match the icon and be easily distinguished.
