Could you also release debian binnary :(

Did you try the Ubuntu PPA? There should be no problems to install those packages on Debian.

We cannot add ppa's to debian. I have downloaded .deb but it doesnt install. I have installed from source code. Bur it would be really nice if we had debian binaries.

I tried the following commands on a debian 9.8.0 xfce livecd and didn't encounter any problems.

echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/xuzhen666/dockbarx/ubuntu bionic main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dockbarx.list
sudo apt install dirmngr
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys EEAD66BD
sudo apt update
sudo apt install dockbarx xfce4-dockbarx-plugin

@xuzhen Despite that really works your sollution. It's not recommended to use ppa's in Debian. ppas were made for Ubuntu and could harm Debian. The ideal approach here would be a Debian package, not a PPA (made for Ubuntu).

You can see here: Don't break Debian @mahmutelmas06 and anyone who wants to convert ppa to Debian Package: https://wiki.debian.org/CreatePackageFromPPA

Hope that helps
