don't forget to download and install manually the patch 815-21-3-oz, reboot, update the registry, reboot again, run the program crack-915-no-cd.exe (ignore the warnings from the anti-virus, it's totally safe ), and reboot twice in a row
so in short, a typical windows installation |

when will cairo dock be available for windows 8? i cant wait for it to be released! rocketdock has been abandoned, and objectdock is too costly. |

mattte, you don’t have to try to disable the metro interface. a huge update to windows 8 is coming soon. it will be called windows 8.1. kernal version is 6.3. It will allow a boot to desktop function which will help ease the user interface. |

@Guest: This news was posted the 1st April
If you want to use Cairo-Dock, you need to use GNU/Linux or BSD.
Just try Ubuntu, it's simple, secure, fast and... it's free! => http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop |

I've seen Cairo-Dock on Ubuntu, and I love(d) it! But I use Ubuntu just as a backup for Windows, so, I'm happy to see this.
But I don't think it's necessary to disable the Modern environment, because I'm happy with the apps, and I'm a Windows 8 app developer too...
But I LOVE the idea to port the dock to Windows!
Thanks! |

But I LOVE the idea to port the dock to Windows! Cairo-Dock is written in C, the biggest dependences are GTK and GLib, CMake is used as build system and source code is on a BZR repository. All of these libs/tools are available on Windows.
The dock (the core and some plugins) can now (only in the development version) be compiled without X11, so I guess the use of Cygwin can be avoided and the biggest work to do is the interaction with other windows (specific to the environment and its windows manager).
In conclusion, I guess a port to Windows is possible and the work can be not so huge.
But I'm sure that this work will not be started by the current Cairo-Dock devs! We (Fabounet and I) develop it for the pleasure and I'm not sure that it'll be so fun (for us) to develop it on Windows. First Windows is needed and then we have to use it (We love Free and Open Source softwares, we need to know what our computer is doing, we like the idea that we control the computer and not the opposite, that we can customize/modify many many things, that we have a powerful computer with many great features, that a lot of users develop software for their own needs and not only for the needs of a company, that there is a great and nice community, etc. This is why we contribute to Open Source software )
BUT Cairo-Dock is an open source software so everybody can contribute. Of course we can help anybody who wants to port it to Windows, we are not averse to this port |
