Shadow around DockBarX

Lime · 2015-05-28 21:37:19

Hi!
I have recently installed DockBarX and my goal is to make it only show the icons, leaving the rest of the dock invisible.
The problem that I have is that after switching to the "Invisible"-theme, there is still shadow around it. Is there any way to get rid of that? Or is there any other alternative to DockBarX that will give the result I want?

What it currently looks like:
Before

How I want it to look like:
After

Thank you very much! It works, but it also removes shadows on all panels, is there any way to leave it on all except the dock?

Yes, but it in a roundabout way.
Run the command (you need to have wmctrl installed):

wmctrl -r :SELECT: -b toggle,below

...and the mouse pointer will turn into a cross. Click anywhere on the the dockbar.
Then disable and re-enable the shadows again. I'm not sure why this works, I stumbled upon it a while ago.

To automate it a bit, create the following script:

#!/bin/bash
wmctrl -r :SELECT: -b toggle,below
xfconf-query -c xfwm4 -p /general/show_dock_shadow -s false
xfconf-query -c xfwm4 -p /general/show_dock_shadow -s true

...make the script executable and assign it to a shortcut key. (still need to click on the dock though)
