Set transparency in EOS v8.0

[doobes]

I seem to be unable to figure out how to make the background of the dock completely transparent.

Thanks!

There are no style settings for the dock. However for themers and modders you can supply your own custom CSS in your home folder.

Wow.

That's a pretty substantial regression from previous. Decidely sub-optimal....

If the future of EoS is to be "custom CSS" for "themers and modders", then frankly I'm out. I am not conversant in CSS and have no intention of becoming so.

Not all of us are dev's BTW. Most are just users.

I had a look at the suggestion "solution". That's a non-starter if there ever was one.

Hello
Plank is an ancient and mature piece of software. It unfortunately doesnt work with Wayland
This dock is brand new. It is still a work in progress. You cannot expect it to appear with the years of development Plank did.

Please do not spit on a limited dev team doing what they can. It is not finished. It will evolve. There are discussions on design and functionality.

I did a theme switcher myself. Dani linked it above. Im working on doing a few nice ones. I am not even paid for it.
Please again, we're not Microsoft. If you wish to contribute, this is not a kind approach. This is not one that motivates anyone to do anything for you.

in the hidden folder ~/.config/gtk-4.0/
Create a gtk.css file

Add to it the following lines :

dock {
background: alpha(@bg_color, 0.0);
}

logout, login. dock is now transparent.
you can replace 0.0 with 1 for completely opaque
by default it is 0.6
