Hi,

Crystal Dock v2.5 is out now!

What it is: Crystal Dock is a cool dock (desktop panel) for Linux desktop, with the focus on attractive user interface, being simple and easy to use, and cross-desktop support.

The current version (version 2.x) supports KDE Plasma 6 on Wayland. Other desktop environments will be considered when they run on Wayland and provide sufficient APIs.

Change log:

New features:

  • Added a new Flat 2D style: The user can easily switches between the existing Glass 3D style and the new Flat 2D style from the Panel Settings context menu
  • Task indicator: now shows the number of windows for each application as 1, 2, 3 or 4+

Other changes:

  • Added more error messages when an application cannot be pinned

Well it's a dock, so basically an icon-based taskbar.

That was my question - it looks the same as every windows taskbar, just centered and "floating".

It's all about the look - One prefers a taskbar or another mainly due to the look :)

Fair enough!

I have been very happily using an ultra wide monitor, so a left-side vertical taskbar has been the most comfortable for me.
