Description:

Latte Dock, amazing piece of software very customizable.
With the possibility of creating both, a top panel and dock, with everything you need to work.

¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬

The new version of macOS, macOS Big Sur, is just around the corner, and it is loaded with many new features; And many of us in the Linux Community want to experience an interface similar to that of macOS Big Sur. With that in mind I have decided to make a Layout for Latte Dock to bring a bit of what's new in macOS BS.
I hope you like it and enjoy it };-]

First of all, you need to install Latte Dock and a few Widgets or Plasmoids, to make it work properly.

¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬

> Installing Latte Dock

Warning: The version needed for these layouts to work properly is the Git version of Latte Doc; This Git version brings extra functions that the normal version does not have, such as floating dock, rounded corners, the Sidebar Widget, etc ...
So in the normal versions of the repositories, non-Git version, these functions will have no effect and the Layout will not work correctly, for this reason it is necessary to install the Git version of Latte Dock.

After researching a few ways to make it easier for you to install the Git version of Latte Dock, I have found some ways, but not for all distros, for example: The Manjaro community has in its AUR repositories a packaged version of the version Git de Latte, in OpenSUSE I have found a package of the Git version of Latte, not so for KDE Neon or Kubuntu, I mean, yes, I have found a package version in ".deb" of the Git version of Latte in Launchpad. net, but it is necessary to install dependencies, which makes the compilation process the most recommended option for the installation of Latte Dock Git Version.

So I will leave instructions for installation in Manjaro KDE and OpensSUSE KDE, and for installation in Kubuntu and KDE Neon I will leave the link for the Latte Dock repository on GitHub where the compilation instructions are.

¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬

> Installation of Latte Dock Git Version in Manjaro
There are two ways to install the Git version of Latte Dock in Manjaro.

1. Doing a search on "Pamac"

Open "Pamac" and do a search for "latte dock git", the results will be two versions, one to install and another to compile, so, choose the version to install, since the compilation way takes a little more time, and it is the second form of installation.

2. Doing a Compilation.
There are two ways to compile install the Git version of Latte Dock.

2.1 Open "Pamac" and do a search for "latte dock git", in the results you will find the option "Build" that will compile the version automatically, which will save you from doing the whole process.

2.2 Go to the GitHub repository of Latte Dock and go to the file "INSTALATION.md" there you will find the necessary dependencies that you must install before starting the compilation process.

¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬

> Installation of the Latte Dock Version Git in OpenSUSE KDE.

I have found a packaged version in a ".rpm" file ready to install just by running a command.

Packaged Latte Dock Git Version for OpenSUSE

Installing ".rpm" files
sudo zypper install name-of-latte-package.rpm

On this page there is also the alternative of adding a repository and installing directly from this added repository, so you can choose what way to use to install Latte Dock git version.

¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬

> For installation on Kubuntu and KDE Neon

In these distros the best way to install Latte Dock is to follow the instructions for compilation and installation of the official Latte Dock repository on GitHub, so, go to the link at the bottom and inside the repository look for the file "INSTALLATION.md" and follow the dependency installation and build instructions.

Latte Dock GitHub Repository

¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬

> Importing Themes

To import the themes into Latte Dock you must run Latte Dock and then right click on any part of the Dock, then "Layouts" and "Manage Layouts", when the window opens look for "Import" click and Search where you have saved your downloaded theme file; now double click on the "In Menu" part, so you have access from the menu without opening the "Manage Layouts" window at any time, and that's all. Now you can enjoy any theme you like.

¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬

> Widgets or Plasmoids NEDDED!!

For mcOS BS Layout to work properly, you need to install these Widgets.
So right click on Plasma desktop and go to "Add Widgets", then "Get New Widgets" and then "Download New Plasma Widgets" and search for the next Widgets:

List of Widgets from left to right and Need to install

Left
  • Kpple Menu
  • Application Title
  • Global Menu

Right
  • Better inline Clock
  • Latte Side Bar
  • Ditto Menu
  • Networks

10 Hi great job with the dock
do you think it is possible to get the number of new activities on the icons (for example new updates or thunderbird unread mail count) as in the Mac dock? Thanks in advance for your great work.

Thanks to all for the help, but the extension indicated does not install in thunderbird 78.7.1 Manjaro 1.0.
Also the plasma launchpad icon appears completely white in the dock (I use the large dock layout version on a 27 inch 4k monitor).
I don't know if it matters, but it is no longer possible to install "libunity" which is optional in latte dock git (official repositories).
System Info Manjaro KDE (plasma 5.20.5, frameworks 5.78.0, Qt 5.15.2, kernel 5.9.16.1) graphics GeForce gtx 1050. Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi, @pesgo, sorry for the delay in replying.

First, have you tried installing Latte by cloning the repository and then compiling? I ask because I have recently updated Latte from Github and I have not had any dependency problems, but I have not done installations from AUR with Pamac, I did not know that there were problems with dependencies. Try installing from the Github repository.
I will do some tests because I do my tests on a Manjaro KDE, and if I find the solution I will take the steps, since I do not use Thunderbird and I have not used the Latte Dock Thunderbird Extension.

Second, with the problem of the totally white lauchpad icon, do this: right click on the Dock and then edit, then press the central button to move and edit widgets, you go to the Launchpad icon and a small menu will appear, deactivate the drop icon and that fixes the problem.

Thank you for your vote, as soon as possible I will have an answer to the problem. Thanks again };-]

Thanks for the tips. As soon as possible I will try to follow your advice. I don't know why Manjaro has this problem, but I found this in the forum.manjaro "..... the error is with Vala, not Python. Libunity is deprecated and currently will not build with anything newer than Vala 0.42 it seems".
Thank you again.

Hello, qrly.

Well, I have done a fresh install of Manjaro and other distros and I have done more tests, it seems that the new update of the Latte Dock breaks the Layout, so you were right and something was wrong to give you that result when you tested the Layout ; But do not worry, I am working on an update of the Layout to solve the problems, I appreciate that you have reported the errors so that I can solve them; Unfortunately I have been involved in a project that does not leave me much time to make revisions more often, but I am already working on the update to solve the errors and that everything works fine again.

Again, thanks for reporting the bugs and for the vote, wait for the update. };-]

Actually the Layout is working very well, those are not errors, at least not with the Layout, I have done tests on different distros with clean installations and everything works fine.
Now, the problem that I see in your screenshot is that you have not put the icons to the widgets: Launchapad Menu, Dito Menu and Latte Sidebar, I have left these icons in the download section. To change the icons you just have to go to the widget and right click and then configure "Latte Sidebar, Ditto Menu", etc, in the menu, when the window appears you just have to left click on the icon and then "choose", look for the folder where you have the icons that I have placed in the download section, then you apply the changes and the icon will appear in the top panel or the Dock.

On the other hand, the themes that are better adapted to work with this Layout I have left in the description, these are: WhiteSur, both for Plasma and for GTK applications, the icons I use are Mkos Big Sur and WhiteSur Icons, but you can use the ones you want, as for the theme I think you should use the indicated ones because they are adapted to have round corners in the Dock, although Latte now has the option to put round corners even in themes that do not have round corners by default, but the theme WhiteSur is best adapted for this Layout, the theme you have used: McMojave LAF, I use it for the mcOS Catalina Layout, which does not use round corners in the Dock and has a classic mcOS look.

Anyway, the Layout is tested and works very well, of course I am very sure that I have reviewed and solved the errors, and as I repeat, you must place the icons on those widgets that I have mentioned and everything will be fine with the Layout, because In your screenshot, all I see is that the icons are missing in the blank spaces and the change must be made by you.

Again, thanks for reporting the bugs and if you have more questions leave your comment and as soon as I can I will respond };-]

It's great that it works.
And yes, I also noticed that the Windows Layout has errors, this is because of the Latte Dock update, they have made many improvements and now I have to do things a little different, but don't worry, soon I will update all the Layouts, including the Windows, to solve any errors that occur.
Thank you for reporting these bugs and for your support.

And yes, I use Linux for development, my main distro is Arch Linux.

Sorry for the delay in replying, friend, unfortunately I am very busy with some projects that are a priority at the moment and I cannot answer as quickly as I would like.
Well, to add your applications to the Dock use "Kruner", you look for the application and drag and drop the icon in the Dock, you can also launch the application and when the icon appears in the Dock you right click on the icon and then pin to the Dock, in this way you can add the applications to the Dock.
But if what you want is to add Widgets, follow the instructions in the Psyphidotos message, that's the way to add the Widgets.
Thanks for your vote, friend, greetings.

When installing Latte Dock in Ubuntu, you can only use the Dock, you cannot use the Layout because the Layout needs all the widgets that belong to the KDE desktop and these widgets do not run on the Gnome desktop, only in KDE

This is not valid, they should run under any DE, at least most of them. One that is not going to work I think is global menu because Gnome does not support it.

Widgets can be also installed with plasmapkg2 command if someone does not want to login to Plasma to install them.

Sure, but the problem, at least from my point of view, is that it is more prone to crashes, of course Latte Dock runs perfectly in many DEs, but this gives problems when trying to use the widgets in other environments than KDE, problems of dependencies since when installing widgets you need many KDE dependencies and, as I see it, it is not so advisable to combine desktops, when installing all these dependencies it is practically to install the KDE desktop and why install a large part of the KDE desktop in Ubuntu Gnome if is Kubuntu and KDE Neon ready?
Personally, I prefer to keep my system clean by installing only what belongs to the DE to avoid performance problems

Another problem that I see when doing that is that the vast majority are new Linux users and for them it is a bit difficult and they probably don't have a super machine in which to install a second DE, as I repeat, in my little experience, it is better to have a clean system and use only what belongs to the desktop, Latte is more used in KDE, most widgets are designed for KDE, and installing a large part of KDE on Gnome I find it inefficient.

Hi @fkorpsvart - there is big problem with latest manjaro updates.
I installed everything on fresh manjaro install, then updated the OS and latte style broke - everything is flickering and breaking. When i switch to default layout it is ok. I am building latte-dock-git as described. Everything goes back to normal if I switch layout to default or turn off latte-dock. Using latest manjaro KDE with all latest updates. KDE Plasma 5.20.3

Hi ! Great layout ! I don't know why though, but the icon of the pamac-manager is a bit pixelated. Do you know a way to fix this ? https://imgur.com/M9OZaPZ I've just tried reinstalling but the issue is still occuring (on KDE). Also, the icon is not pixelated with Plasma layout for instance.
