Hi Stefan,

When kooldock is started for the first time, it is located at the
bottom of the screen by default so it is "under" the TDE panel.
That's why you do not see it.

You can move the panel temporarily so you can see kooldock and
configure it to be elsewhere on the screen.

Then move the panel back to its original position.
Thank you. I had read that in an mail conversation (2020.10.02) between
you and Nik Klepp, but that didn't help to enlighten me. That's why I
asked in the first place.

Explanation: I have no TDE Panel at the bottom, I have it at the left
side of the display. Secondly, kooldock only seems get triggered to
show up when the mouse is moved to a very short segment in the middle
of the bottom border of the display, and only when the mouse hits the
trigger section for longer than only accidentally, like at least, say,
400 ms or so.

This makes it hard to find if you don't know where to look and there's
no documentation, even for the experienced user.

If you would like to get kooldock (I actually like it) more widely used,
I think it would help a lot when there were at least a rudimentary UNIX
man or TDE help page.

I remember I tried once before and gave up without asking.

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hi Stefan,

By reading your explanation, it looks like kooldock is in "Auto Hide" mode.

I see two ways to solve this:

1- When kooldock shows up, right-click on it. A menu should appear with "kooldock" as the last option. This will give access to the configuration in the "Edit Preferences". The first option is a checkbox named "Autohide". Uncheck it.

2- Quit kooldock (or kill it). Edit ~/.trinity/share/config/kooldockrc and set "Hidden" to 0. Restart kooldock. It should show up.

Kind regards,

Pascal
