KSmoothDock is a cool desktop panel (like KDE's kicker) for KDE 3.2 with smooth zooming (2 modes: normal and parabolic).

As it is intended for KDE/Linux, its behaviour will be like that of kicker.

- Programming language: C++
- Libraries used: KDE 3.2

Installation:

Unzip, cd to the directory ksmoothdock then run:

./configure
make
su
make install

***IF you have problems compiling, try:

make -f Makefile.cvs
./configure --without-arts
make
su
make install

(thx 6thpink for this)

Then run:

ksmoothdock

(if when you run "ksmoothdock", nothing happens, then it is likely that your KDE dir is not standard. In this case, either:
- cd to the directory ksmoothdock/src, then run "./ksmoothdock", or
- Re-do the above sequence (./configure ...), but instead of "./configure", type:
./configure --prefix=/YOUR_KDE_DIR
)

What's New in This Release:
The "auto-hiding" feature has been re-implemented
Added right-click popup menu for pager, taskbar and clock
Dock Position Conflict Dialog: add an option not to show it again Other changes:
The range of icon sizes have been increased
Desktop icon area is now adjusted correctly
Some other minor fixes.
