DockbarX

Visual feedback when clicking launcher

Asked by papashou

Is it possible to configure visual feedback when clicking on the launcher? (e.g. utilizing compiz effect to rapidly shrink then grow the icon, giving the idea of pushing a button) My only feedback at this point is the sound of my mouse click, but at times, I'll wait and wait because it really didn't get counted as a legit click (e.g. jerky mouse movement while clicking).

I've switched back to the standard window list for now.. it's very annoying to go without the feedback.

I've committed a launching effect to the bzr bransh. Feel free to check it out. It will be properly released within this month, I think. I have a couple of other features I want to add before realeasing a new version.

In the feature please don't re-open already answered questions just to post a comment. There's a "Just Add a Comment" button for that.

that looks great. I'm using cairo-dock now, but I will try the dockbar when the new version is released.

Can you help with this problem?
