this is for some adventerous guys! this is the procedure to install kiba dock. its a very beautiful piece of software. be forewarned that its not a stable release. and it may or may not work for you!

do this in the terminal:

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

add the following lines to the end of the file:

deb *download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb feisty eyecandy
deb-src *download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb feisty eyecandy

save and exit.

run from terminal window:

wget *download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb/DD800CD9.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install kiba-dock kiba-dock-dev kiba-plugins

configure and launch kiba dock from the applications menu.

[ChaiTan3]

for adding icons just drag them into the dock

 

[Dark Star]

^^ And what abt black that appearing there .. It did not appear in other desktop using kiba

 

[ChaiTan3]

try to change the settings...like dock radius,size curvature.
the black bar seems really weird.

 

[infra_red_dude]

yeah, jus add launchers to it and thats the default dock. so you've finally got it working?!!!

 

[Dark Star]

^^ Ya workin perfectly but its appearing black in its background why.. While in other desk it ain't appearing black..

 

[QwertyManiac]

Might be compiz or beryl making that fault .. Not sure.

 

[infra_red_dude]

dunno.. works flawlessly here.. i use kiba-dock, compiz on an ati radeon igo 345m wid open source radeon driver, aiglx. check the screenshot:

jus fiddle wid kiba-dock and compiz/beryl/metacity settings....

 

[Dark Star]

^^ Maybe I am not using Berly thats why

 

[infra_red_dude]

not beryl.. i'm using compiz.. but it shudn't matter. dun worry, kiba dock's still in development. we can't expect it to work everywhere. why don't u try AWN?
