“Hi there Pavol

I must start by thanking you for choosing Daisy over other (more mature) solutions currently available, thanking you for taking the time to contribute with your input and ideas for this project and also thanking you for taking the time to make a nice writeup in your blogspot to help divulge this project.

Currently Daisy is in alpha stage, meaning that many of the options and features planned for it are not yet implemented, and those that are may suffer heavy modifications. The goal of this project is to make the most advanced, functional, feature-rich panel/dock for KDE (and even on a global level for that matter). This is a very ambitious goal, I must add and agree with that, but we are currently just starting (only a month of active development)… It is true that Daisy takes hints from the MacOSX dock, but we plan to extend functionalities and go beyond that roof.

Your ideas are very appealing and I look forward to give those a shot at implementation. The icon flashing part that you refer is already written, it works by flashing the launcher of an application that requires attention (an important feature for use with IM clients, as you have referred) and should be included in next release. Complete task manager features (for applications that are not included in the dock as launchers) are also being worked on and also count on adding this to the next release.

Please feel free to expose your ideas/wishes, as the opinion of people that use my work are of extreme importance to me. Feel free to contact me anytime.

Best regards,
Lechio

may I suggest you have a look at Daisy?
Functionality is its main objective, system resources use is kept to the minimum and it doesn’t require composite enabled.
