Cairo-Dock Core

A little detail with the magnifier (hard to explain)

Bug Description

Running :
 version 2.1.0-alpha
 Ubuntu 9.04
 Cairo engine

This bug is more a clever idea that would make the dock more smooth under the mouse move event.

I explain :

When moving the mouse overhe dock, the icons resizes under some views. This is a great effect and it's awesomely coded :)

The only little detail I want to report is a feature from the OSX dock On cairo-dock, the icons may resize when the mouse is actually ON an icon. The condition MUST (or at least should) be "mouse ON THE DOCK", that's to say on the panel and not on the icons. When you move, for example on the dock at the extreme left or right, there's a little space that's icon-free. When overing that zone, the icons just stop resizing, and the smooth effect breaks down.

I think that's quite easy to fix because the code is obviously good. I think you should just change the condition that triggers the magnifier effect.

Moreover, I wonder if the user can disable that effect in the panel ?

Thanks for your attention, and good luck :)

actually it was the case before, and I've fixed it ^_^
I fill it better this way, especially since the dock uses XShape, and
therefore the zone outside the icons is inactive (if you click, you will
click on the desktop, or the window behind)
this is only true when the dock is at rest, but it would be strange that in
some case the wave is active outside the icons, and in other case it is not.

I'm not agree. The dock should resizes when the mouse come over it. But, a click on an empty area should indeed, come to the desktop. If you can try under OS X to over the dock, you'll understand why I'm insisting. But after all, it's not dramatic. I hope that you'll understand my point of view.

I do, but I don't find it so nice ^_^
it's a bit unlogical to me, that the dock reacts on mouse hover but not on
click.
well, I''ve recently implemented the concept of "extended panel mode", where
the dock fills the whole screen's width, maybe that will fits you, I invite
you to test it ;-)
