    Dave your blog is awesome, i msut say the 3 best part are the bib bang one, the how to ubuntu, and within ubuntu …the cairo dock. You just rock hehe ;)

    How should i put this, yeah..im new to ubuntu. But hey, as soon as i saw how great it was i so dump my xp disc in the garbage :D.

    After reading and apply your advice on how to install cairo doc, i came to realize that it is still a bit complicated for me tho. (not your tutorial , the dock itself i mean)

    So i was wondering if you could teach me how to get it just like shown in your youtube link. I have the basic settings applied and it runs fine. but wow, it would look so much better to have it like in the video.

    I don’t mean to be a pain tho, if its not too much of an hassle, could you explain it to me, like how to tweak the setting for it becomes like this video ?

    Cause i can see that you know how to explain things by reading our blog.

    Well even if you don’t have the time or think it’s a bit difficult to explain all that, i would still like to say “great job!!” on your blog.

    Hi there Mat!

    Thanks for the compliments you left on my blog. I’m just getting around to approving these things as I’ve been away on vacation for a few days.

    I’d love to be able to help you with Cairo, but I feel you’d get better direction elsewhere because I don’t really use Cairo (I’m too used to the plain old task bar). I highly recommend http://www.ubuntuforums.org, as they have hundreds of thousands of members, that are pumped up to take and answer questions about everything Ubuntu related. I would start with the Desktop Effects & Customization forum first:

    The developers of Cairo Dock also have a wiki online you can look at which may be even better than the link above:

    Good Luck!
