Turn on blur in compiz settings, it will help read text on transparent parts of windows. - Feb 23 2010
I also think that we need something new instead of old tray and taskbar, but nobody wants to change it.
There is idea http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/AppBar?content=105590 - Feb 21 2010
a) It is already possible but not obvious.
If you really want to change icon for some app you need to change icon in gnome menu and restart dockbar ('killall dockbar.py' in terminal).
More clear way to do that may be a feature in next releases.
b) Please give an example. Or you want it for all apps?
c) Themeable popup is planned to next releases. - Nov 08 2009

Now I work (when have free time) on bug fixes and some integration with compiz.
I do not think that dockbar should support launchers.
Look at MacOSX, there is no programs menu.
And users need launchers on dock to quickly launch applications.
MS Windows's menu have no categories and it is hard to find necessary program.
But in Gnome there is convenient application menu with categories.
I think that Gnome's menu much better than stack with applications or launchers in macosx's dock.
I have some ideas about how make launchers with using gio.GAppInfo.
But not all parts of gio has bindings in python (or i can't find it).
You can upload your code to any fileshare service and give me link.
Thanks! - Feb 18 2009
