Dock not at bottom of screen

[Iceman]

Since the HW is sold out I installed Commodore OS 2 on an older HP Elite laptop I have. Love the look and retro feel but the one thing that is not working is the dock it ends up tiny on the top half of the screen, it is not clickable and does not animate when I hover over it but I can see the icons changing as apps are launched. See attached screenshot. Any way to reconfigure that?

Woah, I hope it doesn't do that by default.

Can you right click on the dock?
There should be an option to Configure Cairo Dock.
Even configuring an icon will launch the settings manager.
Don't play around too much in there, especially with themes, or you'll not find your way back. I promise you I picked the best theme.
If you can't get to the settings because the Configure option doesn't come up....it probably means Cairo is in locked mode.
Launch a terminal and launch the system monitor.
Kill cairo-dock in the System Monitor.
Relaunch the dock via the terminal with the command....
cairo-dock.
It should then be unlocked.

I lock it by default in COS3 to stop accidental reconfigurations like this, which I tend to perform.
Actually Cairo Dock is super buggy in COS3 crashing out all the time....but I hacked it to stay working mostly.

Hi,

thanks for the tip. I killed cairo-dock and relaunched it but I am not getting the settings dialog right click just brings up the desktop dialog

Right clicking on the dock?

If you're running 4k or a similarly high res with magnification, try running at a lower res to see if the problem resolves.

Thanks, it is the resolution.
I will tinker with that
