Layout for Latte Dock in version 20 of the Deepin Dock!!
Deepin V20 will be released very soon, and we already have a preview of what will be the improvements in its interface.
A little ahead of that long-awaited release, I have tried to recreate the new style of the dock of version 20 of the Deepin desk adapted for Latte Dock with the classic colors, dark and light, for every taste, I leave with you these themes for Latte Dock.
Once the version of Deepin is released, I will see the new changes and try to recreate in detail the new style of the Deepin Dock.

Latte Dock, amazing piece of software very customizable.
With the possibility of creating both, a top panel and dock, with everything you need to work.

> Installing Latte Dock
Thanks to the developer of Latte Dock now we don't need to install the git version because now the git version and the stable version are the same, so we can install the stable version from the repositories of each distro to have the latest Latte Dock.
But if you still want to install the Latte Dock Git version you can visit the Github repository and follow the steps to install it at INSTALLATION.md
But the recommendation is to install from the stable version from your distro's package repository since it is the same version.

> Importing Themes
To import the themes into Latte Dock you must run Latte Dock and then right click on any part of the Dock, then "Layouts" and "Manage Layouts", when the window opens look for "Import" click and Search where you have saved your downloaded theme file; now double click on the "In Menu" part, so you have access from the menu without opening the "Manage Layouts" window at any time, and that's all. Now you can enjoy any theme you like.

Themes and Icons Used
From @zayronXIO
From @X-VARLESH-X
- ROUNDED
I've used the "ROUNDED" theme in "Plasma Styles" because it looks Perfect for the Deepin Layout and the "Plasma Deepin" theme doesn't have rounded corners for the Latte Dock, and that's why I used the "ROUNDED Color" theme for "Plasma Styles. "

Do not forget to vote if you liked this theme and leave a comment if you encounter any problems.
I hope you enjoy it!! };-]

wallpaper?
Sorry for the delay. I don't know which wallpaper you were referring to, but I found them in an old backup of my dotfiles, so here they are. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img922/2765/xX4lDA.jpg https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img922/1780/AUHeCj.jpg https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img923/9922/HTCt62.jpg https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img924/967/DXijkn.jpg
10 Thanks for that layout. Can you tell me how to use Latte sidebar button with your layout ? I don't find the way to hide/show systray icons like deepin. Thanks.
Thank you, I'm glad you like it. Well, the sidebar launcher is the little bell, since you can't do it exactly like in Deepin I put the sidebar in the bell and the systray in the little arrow next to the bell. Report any errors };-]
Where is 'Show Desktop' widget?
It is available in kde plasma 5 by default. You need to add manually the widget. Add Widgets -> Show desktop.
10 10 the best
9 9 excellent
Thanks, @Axel };-]
@FKORPSVART, in Latte Dock version 0.10 you can now get the Deepin V20 floating dock design, take a look at the video below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADEWygbPqQw&feature=emb_title We do not yet have an option to control the size of rounded corners, which is a very important part of the design of floating docks. :(
Yes, thank you, and I know it, I had seen the video before doing the themes, and taking that into account, I opted to make only the version with the windows task bar style and not as a floating dock. Unfortunately, Latte Dock, as you say, has many limitations, just like Plank Dock, you can not play much with the customization of these Docks, their styles are quite minimalist. So I will do the full versions of Deepin v20 for Cairo Dock, which does have a little more configuration options. Thanks for your comment, d3xt3r. :]
nice :) a small suggestion... For your dark version you probably has chose autocoloring through Appearance -> Colors -> Reverse... In that case some of your applets are auto-colored in white even though they should not. If you have applets in your layout that you want to keep their colors you can do the following: Right click on the Dock -> Dock Settings -> Rearrange And Configure applets -> hover one of the applets you do not want to be autocolored -> in its tooltips there is a "drop" icon, you can use it to disable Latte auto-coloring for that applet
Psifidotos, thank you! :] I appreciate your suggestion, I will and I will update dark version. Thanks again, friend :]
