David_MDoes this system support snaps and flatpaks? Can I use latest XFCE?11:57
brainwashDavid_M: both systems are available, but Xfce is not packaged this way12:18
brainwashDavid_M: for latest packages you can use the Xubuntu PPAs https://launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev12:20
David_MWhy are window control buttons so small?12:22
knomehuh, on my 18.04 after the last updates xfsettinds went somehow crazy and created a loop that hogged down all of my resources12:57
al3xpreyhow can I add notification badges to docky?12:57
al3xpreyif they are not present natively12:57
knomeochosi, was that known?12:57
al3xpreyhey12:59
knomehello.12:59
al3xpreywhat's up12:59
knomewell, see above, or for non-support-related chat, #xubuntu-offtopic13:00
al3xpreyhow about my docky question?13:01
knomei don't use docky, so i have no idea, sorry13:01
al3xprey:(13:02
knomesince it's not shipped by default on xubuntu, it might mean this is the case for majority of people here13:02
al3xpreyok then, the default xubuntu dock does not include notification badges either13:02
al3xpreyif they are not natively supported13:02
al3xpreyhow can this be added to the dock13:02
knomewitty, but i don't know that either.13:03
diogenes_al3xprey, try cairo-dock instead13:03
al3xpreycairo-dock didn't have the notification support either13:04
al3xpreyawn included13:04
diogenes_afaik cairo used to have some options about notifications13:04
knomeso since none of the docks you have tried support those notification badges, maybe it's not possible to have them then?13:04
diogenes_it was long time since i tried it13:04
knomeor is there a dock/panel that supports those (and with which they actually work)?13:04
al3xpreynah I was wondering if I can ADD them, since for example Thunderbird has notification badges13:05
al3xpreyon either dock13:05
al3xpreyno plugins in thunderbird13:05
al3xpreyit just works13:05
knomei imagine it would mean you would need to add the code to the software13:05
diogenes_al3xprey, ask thunderbird devs about their secret trick :)13:05
al3xpreyyes I just wanted to find someone with experience that has done it13:05
al3xpreysince I couldnt find info in the lists13:06
al3xpreyhaha, it's some kind of native notification support13:06
knomeif they had done it for $software, then i'm pretty sure that code would be included in them already, and you would have the feature13:06
knomeit would be sane if they didn't share such code.13:06
knomeit would be *insane*13:06
knomeis what i meant...13:06
knomeout of curiosity, which software lacks the notification support?13:07
al3xpreyMessenger, Slack (has a really stupid notification tray icon in linux), Skype, HexChat as I am using it atm13:08
al3xpreythe windows indicate that there is some kind of an event13:09
al3xpreybut the dock icon has no badges13:09
knomethis is indeed something the software developers should take care of13:09
knomeit's also impossible for anybody else to do that if the software is closed source, like i imagine slack, skype and messenger being13:10
al3xpreynot entirely, the messenger app is mostly built on electron13:11
al3xpreytake it as a browser window with only facebook messenger and SOME code13:11
al3xpreyfor things like13:11
al3xprey***DRUM ROLL****13:11
al3xpreynotifications.13:11
diogenes_al3xprey, you can create your own app with nativefier and with the argument --tray /path/to/image/png, and tehre you have it13:13
