Hy
i’m not a developper, only an user, and my english is not as fluent as i would like.
i want to advertise you with a probably bug of a nvidia driver when i use cairo-dock with opengl option (i checked with the cairo-dock’s developper befor writting this mail).
i use a loptop Clevo P170M with a separate graphic card GeForce GTX460M, ubuntu 12.04, kernel 3.5.0-18, driver nvidia 313.09.
the nvidia kernel is from the ppa xorg-edgers.
when i use cairo-dock with opengl option, all icons of the dock are only like a white semi-transparent color and a grey borders as you can see on this sreencopy.
External Media
i had this problem with any theme of cairo-dock with opengl. i have no problem without opengl option.
i had this problem with the driver 304-48 too and with 3.2 kernel too.
