NAME

cairo-dock - A dock to launch your programs easily.

SYNOPSIS


cairo-dock [options]

DESCRIPTION

Cairo-Dock is a light and eye-candy dock to launch your programs easily.

It uses Cairo or OpenGL to render graphics (many in correlation with Compiz) with full hardware acceleration. It's fully configurable and fully customisable and can be used as a taskbar too.
You can easily add applets in the dock or as a desklet.

It is recommended to install the PLUG-INS package ( cairo-dock-plug-ins ) to have acces to more views, dialogs and many plug-ins and applets.

Some screenshots are available :

OPTIONS

You can launch Cairo-Dock with several options :
(Note : you can use these options in one block. For example : cairo-dock -oia )
-c, --cairo
force Cairo backend (Use this option if you have issue with the OpenGL mode. It removes the window at startup)
-o, --opengl
force OpenGL backend (Cairo-Dock with OpenGL. It removes the window at startup)
-i, --indirect
use Indirect Rendering mode for OpenGL
-l, --log [option]
log verbosity (options : debug, message, warning, critical, error - default is 'warning')
For example : cairo-dock -l debug
-a, --keep-above
force to keep the dock above other windows whatever
-p, --no-skip-pager
show the dock in pager
-b, --no-skip-taskbar
show the dock in taskbar
-s, --no-sticky
don't make the dock appear on all desktops
-t, --toolbar-hint
force the window manager to consider Cairo-Dock as a toolbar rather than as a dock
-n, --normal-hint
force the window manager to consider Cairo-Dock as a normal application rather than as a dock
-e, --env
force the dock to consider this environment (gnome, xfce, etc.) - it may crash the dock if not set properly.
-d, --dir
force the dock to load the configuration in this directory (default is ~/.config/cairo-dock).
-m, --maintenance
allow to edit the config before the dock is started and show the config panel on startup
-f, --safe-mode
don't load any plug-ins and show the theme manager on startup
-M, --modules-dir
ask the dock to load additional modules contained in this directory (though it is unsafe for your dock to load unofficial modules).
-T, --testing
for debugging purpose only. The crash manager will not be started to hunt down the bugs.
-E, --easter-eggs
for debugging purpose only. Some hidden and still unstable options will be activated.
-S, --server
address of a server containing additional themes. This will overwrite the default server address.
-k, --locked
lock the dock so that any modification is impossible for users.

OTHER

Some other options with an output in the terminal :
-v, --version
print version and quit.
-h, --help
Show the help and quit
-C, --capuccino
-X, --expresso
-L, --cafe-latte
Cairo-Dock makes anything, including coffee !
