Description: Ubuntu maverick (development branch)
Release: 10.10

[Javed A Rahman (s.kaniff)]

Facing the same issue with today's updates. Ubuntu Maverick.

[flux (luigimarco)]

why docky was deleted?

[Khar Tahk (khartahk)]

I to would like to know what happend to Docky theme, since the package that adds docky is still there and is installed but the theme is missing.

[Yura Tolstik (yltsrc)]

I saw package details and I think, patch, which disables docky theme should be removed.
"Add patch to disable Docky theme as this is now distributed as a separate project, in the docky package" - it isn't reason to remove docky theme. Why?

First reason is: docky(which is separate package) can't run any program like gnome-do, and that is why gnome-do maintainer should enable docky theme in gnome-do again.

Second reason to return docky theme is: there no any pretty theme for gnome-do except docky.

Third reason is: Why I should run 2 programs, when one of them(gnome-do) can do all, that second(docky) can do.

[Sancho Panza (prashanthr-deactivatedaccount-deactivatedaccount)]

Why is the docky theme in gnome do missing? I find the docky standalone inadequate.

[nilsja (nilsjansen)]

yes, this is annoying, happened with my last update.

i got so used to it) is there a way to manually reinstall the docky theme?

[Uwe Dulz (uwe.dulz)]

I just updated today and found this issue - I find it ridiculous.
I want - no, I demand the return of the docky theme, as there is no reason to force me to install another program for the added functionality the docky theme provides, as the docky programm does not support the functionality of gnome-do.

[pytrisss (pytrisss)]

For anyone who does not want to wait for and oficial fix:
I did:
sudo apt-get remove --purge gnome-do

then downloaded these packages:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/gnome-do
http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/all/gnome-do-docklets/download
and installed them with sudo dpkg -i (install gnome-do package first)

Working allright so far :)

[nilsja (nilsjansen)]

pytrisss, thank you! that worked for me.

[nilsja (nilsjansen)]

@pytrisss, does writing an email via "gnome-do > entering emailadress > tab > email" work? in this workarround solution it does not anymore here...

dear do developers, any comment on if and perhaps when a fix will come would be great!

[Chris S. (cszikszoy)]

There is nothing to "fix". Docky has been removed from Do. Docky and Do are two separate programs. We cannot accept bug reports from anyone running unofficial or old versions of the software.

[Chris S. (cszikszoy)]

Also, the docky theme has been removed from the codebase for quite some time now (more than 7 months). Docky (the separate application lp:docky) offers significantly more functionality, and in no way interferes with Do. We suggest switching Do back to the classic theme and using Docky (lp:docky) simultaneously.

[Andrew Aylett (andrew-aylett)]

@Chris: while the theme has been removed from the trunk, it's still in the sources shipped in Ubuntu, just disabled by the build system. Removing the patch and rebuilding re-enables the theme for me.

On the subject of Docky, I'd disagree that running Do and Docky at the same time is a regression-less workaround: Docky pick a different set of applications to display, and doesn't appear to be as good at matching up running applications to their launchers as Do. Also, I like having the Do super-space shortcut loading in the dock, rather than taking up screen space elsewhere. Docky doesn't use quite as much RAM (29M) as Do (36M), but running them both together uses more than only running one.

Are you sure you won't reconsider, please, at least while the stable version shipped with Ubuntu ships the theme.

[nilsja (nilsjansen)]

@Chris, isn't docky in do just a theme? I am wondering because in #10 you are suggesting that the do docky theme has something to do with the program docky. I thought it does not. Please correct me if i am wrong.

It really is a pity, this was a feature even every mac user i know envied. I got so used to the combination of do and docky, its just the perfect melt.
