This is a beautiful theme. Thank you very much for creating it.
I have a question about my installation of this theme.
When I have the cursor under one of the icons, the labels of the adjacent icons appear and sometimes the labels are run into the label of icon that I am viewing.
Can you tell me where I can find the information on how to have only one icon label displayed at a time?
I am new to Linux but have done a lot of reading and tried many things, anyway how I installed this was to extract here on the desktop and then I right clicked the cairo-dock and went to Manage Themes and drug the folder over there to the little window where it says open and let it install then I applied.
I saw one of your readers asking about the install, this worked for me the theme looks great.

You did a very good job on this, it looks great.
I just installed Cairo-Dock on my Ubuntu 9.04 laptop. Cairo dock is awesome, but the "_default_" theme - the only theme installed by default - was a little too "loud" for my liking. I did a Google search for "cario-dock themes" and found yours close to the top. ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!! THANK YOU!!!!

Do not say bullshit! It is because of what Linux is marginalized. Only 1.02% of all desktop computers in the world using Linux. And if people rely on that type, it will not change.
This type of attitude is not welcome anywhere.
The directory for installation is / home / username / .config / cairo-dock.
When told to install in a directory and you will not find it, will usually be for the reasons you have to create it or that is in / home / username / .config /.
Feel free to ask anything you want my friend!

I am beginning to hate this site. Not one developer can give proper documentation how to install their themes. There is not one method described on the site for help and every developer packages differently.
I cannot find path ~/.cairo-dock/themes to save my soul. How in the heck am I supposed to install it?

Dude.
If you're a real Linux user, then you wouldn't even need to know how to install.
On *nix variants, ~ means the home folder.
And once you get into the your home folder, you have to show the hidden files. (Ctrl + H)
If a .cairo-dock folder doesn't exists it means you don't have it correctly installed or have not run it at least once yet.
Also, you shouldn't hate the site just because some people don't tell how to install. (They shouldn't either, it's EASY for REAL Linux users).
hows he ever supposed to become a 'real linux user' when guys like you aid him like this
yes a quick google search would give him all the answers he needs, and maybe he could be a bit politer in asking, but id be pretty pissed with the community if they all treated me like that

I can't get it to stay on the lepord os when I turn my computer back on. For some reason it makes me have to re-extract it. Any ideas?
