I just saw that this is for Now Dock...

some infos, Now Dock development has been on hold, all development effort has been moved at Latte Dock

@psifidotos Looking into Now Dock as was waiting for Plasma 5.9 as I remember reading it had trouble with Plasma 5.8 for transparent panel. I've come across two nowdock repos and now Latte Dock.

If NowDock is on hold in foreseeable future and it's better to use Latte Dock(or this is the future of NowDock), perhaps README files should be updated to reflect this? (possibly KDE store page too?).

I wont support Now Dock in the future. Now Dock was merged into Latte dock. The problem you are mentinoning does not even exist with Latte Dock. The store.kde.org will provide these infos after the first offcial release of Latte. Latte is already a pretty mature software but it is considered an alpha or beta software

Please add a notice/warning to the top of the README or description for the two Now Dock repos. Something like the following:

## DEPRECATED: Now Dock is no longer maintained. Future development is focused on [Latte Dock](https://github.com/psifidotos/Latte-Dock), a merge of Now Dock and [Candil-Dock](https://github.com/audoban/Candil-Dock) projects.

This will avoid confusion from other users who visit the Now Dock repos. I understand that you want to wait until Latte Dock is more ready to push/release before updating the KDE store page. This will at least avoid anymore users forking your repo to work on the code and send a PR :) It also helps users learn why development stopped and where it's been redirect to(a better dock by combining efforts).

I love what you're doing, keep it up! :)
