Hello guys
Daisy is not a dead project.
Development continues, it's just that lately I've been too busy with work and a course that I'm taking. Hope to finish the re-write of Daisy this Summer when I'll have some days to spend coding for this project.
As always please feel free to comment, make requests, report bugs.
Thanks to all of you for your patience and support! - May 28 2011

Hi there,
Currently that option isn't available. To achieve this, Daisy would have to be inside a panel-like container, so it would be able to behave as a panel. Currently Daisy is a regular widget.
A new version is being worked on, using a panel-like container that will provide a better user experience.

Hi there, thank you for taking the time to comment.
Question #1: by using a custom panel container we have control over all of its settings, which allows us to do more. We can for instance use custom backgrounds, have control over size and positions of that panel. In the current development approach Daisy behaves like a "normal" widget, can be added to the desktop by the add widget dialog and kinda behave like a panel (with limitations), and will be compatible with a normal panel container. This may all change as we add more options to it. It would be much more easier to implement things by merging the applet and the container together. We'll have to give some more thought to that.
Question #2: Daisy has a taskbar plugin of its own (that can be added/removed). On that preview provided the taskbar that's being used is Smooth tasks.

Yes there is. The new Daisy will use a new container that will behave the same way as the panel, this means that it will be shown on all of the different activities. It will also have the possibility of being shown on top of other windows.

Hi there,
Daisy to get information about tasks currently uses the KWindowSystem and TaskManager libraries. To match tasks with the launchers Daisy incorporates a new feature that was named "Alias", it's nothing more than the Window Class. The API is not very complicated to figure out, have look at the documentation on techbase or look at the header files of these.
If I can assist you any further, contact me and I'll gladly help out in what I can.
Thank you for your comment, and best wishes. :) - Apr 25 2010

Just an update on the work being done, right now a custom container is already made (based on panel), this will allow the option of adding other applets to the dock; here's how it currently looks (Daisy, Smooth tasks and System tray applet showing in the container):

Much work still has to be done, the new release will be available as soon as it is usable.
Thank you for your support! - Apr 24 2010

For the click issue, it's probably related to the fix that was done for it to work with KDE 4.4, after some things changed with KDE. It's just a temporary "fix", right now the main focus is the rewrite, which will be available soon and hopefully all these issues with the clicking on icons will be resolved. Try to downgrade to the previous Daisy version to see if that corrects the issue.

Hi, I'm using a custom theme that I've edited for personal use. A mix of Hycons Icon theme:

Sorry about missing the monthly schedule guys, I have decided that for allowing an evolution of Daisy a new approach was necessary. To provide better features like covering windows, better screen placement, adding other applets to it as "plugins", (...); Daisy needs to be changed into a panel-like widget. This task will require a rewrite of most of the code, it will take some time to do it. Until then please feel free to comment and suggest new features as those might find a way into the new Daisy. ;)
Also feel free to report bugs, will continue to maintain the current code.

Hi,
You are missing some libraries. the libtaskmanager library is missing so it will fail to compile. libtaskmanager is part of kde-base, to compile something that uses it, the headers for that are needed. Install these packages on Kubuntu: "kdebase-workspace-dev", "kde-devel", "kdelibs5-dev". Should compile OK after that.
Or just do like crematory3 said and install using the package manager (instructions on how to do it are available on the download page). - Dec 10 2009

It really needs a better hosting, but that's the best we can get currently.
I've already contacted the support team about this problem, the server seems to be under maintenance and should be back up soon. In the meantime please use google code to get the package:

Hi there,
It's not really a bug, it's something that isn't implemented yet. Currently it's not possible to remove the trash plugin when using circular dock or have more/less than 9 icons displaying. It's something that will be worked on and changed for next releases.
It's possible, but I'm not sure if that would be the correct to do in Plasma. When removing a Plasma desktop widget its configuration resets, that's the way it works in Plasma. - Nov 18 2009
