Hi,
Crystal Dock v2.2 is out now!
What it is: Crystal Dock is a cool dock (desktop panel) for Linux desktop, with the focus on attractive user interface, being simple and easy to use, and cross-desktop support.
The current version (version 2.x) supports KDE Plasma 6 on Wayland. Other desktop environments will be considered when they run on Wayland and provide sufficient APIs.
Change log:
New features:
- New 3D style: reminiscence of Sun’s Project Looking Glass and Apple’s Mac OS X Leopard/Lion. This feature comes as default but can be turned on/off from the dock’s context menu. Also this only applies to a dock in bottom position of the screen, for aesthetic reasons.
Bugs fixed:
- Fixed a bug where task indicator does not change from ‘active’ to ‘inactive’ if the new active window is the dock itself.

Have a nice weekend!
I’d be curious to see a blog post in the future mentioning the challenges you might have faced making the dock work on Wayland, and what was needed for that.
That’s something I’ve been thinking about too – will try to find time for it.
