Hi all,

Ever since I update to Linux Mint 17 I have been unable to get the 'effects' in Cairo to work.

Have any one experience this problem?

I am using Cairo-Dock 3.2.2

Thanks

Hello,

Which package's version are you using?
apt-cache policy cairo-dock

Is it better when using this command to launch the dock?
cairo-dock -o

cairo-dock -o do not help.

The problem is that the Effects selection buttons are unaccessible. When you click on them nothing happen.

That happen in two computers after installing Linux Mint 17. Cairo works fine in the same computers under Linux Mint 15 and 16.

Thanks

Is maybe possible to share a link to a screenshot of these buttons?

Here is a screen shot. I am pressing the button corresponding to effects for "On mouse hover". As you can see no option can be selected.

I am having problem uploading teh screen shot. I am using the screen shot as my avatar. I hope you can see it.

BTW, the problem is not with Linux mint 16. The problem begun with Linux Mint 17. Cairo works on Mint 15 and 16.

Ok I see! (note that it's better to upload your screenshot with our Drop to Share applet or directly upload this file to web service like uppix.com, imgur.com, etc. )

I guess it's just because the Icon Effect plugin is disabled. You can enable it from the Advanced Mode of this config panel (there is a button on the bottom left).

@fabounet: if this plugin is disabled, maybe we should hide the boxes or add a checkbox to enable it, no?
