[SOLVED] how to get Plank or Docky on all desktops?

[kc1di]

I like to use an applications dock like plank or docky Problem is in KDE (plasma5) can't get it to work on all desktops. It only works on desktop # 1 It does not show up on Desktop # 2 or #3 etc. Just # 1 anyone figured out how to make it appear on all virtual desktops? thanks.

Try Latte Dock.

It's a native Plasma 5 app and is really good. Also very configurable. You should find it in the repository.

I have found that it will even overlay a standard Plasma panel without problem as I prefer my panel on the bottom. I use it that way on my desktop system as I have found the Icons Only task manager icon size is too small for my liking without making the panel too thick.

In 'Window Rules' in systemsetting, you can make a rule something like this.

Thanks both of you for your reply. acheron your suggestion did not work for me, maybe I did something wrong. But Rod J I tried Latte and it's working well so will stick with that, thanks for the suggestion.

It's not the simplest thing in the world to set up, but does work. I hoped the screenshots would give enough to do it, but giving the visible result rather than the exact steps may not be enough.

I agree that latte is a better option if you are prepared to try that.

Thank you Latte is better suited to Plasma desktop intergrates well. though I'm sure sometime in the future I'll be using that customization in windows rules for something else. Learned something today about kde - thank you
