@Munchausen - were you able to install and run HiQDock on 64bit Haiku ?
Just wanted to comment that installing this older qt4 lib doesnât conflict / clash with qt5 and qt6 libraries that maybe installed on your system.
Yes it works! Just add the repo and then pkgman install hiqdock. I have not done any customisation yet
It does seem to crash at poweroff, though.

Great news - canât wait to see more after you customize it!
Regarding the crash at shutdown - I believe itâs something on the qt side of things.
Iâm hoping to find some time to start developing this again - the more interest I see on the forum, the more motivation I will have to get back into it.

Would love to try it out, once you get this working with current Qt and current libraries available (even the Qt4 package needs older packages for libraries long updated by now).

Are any source codes for HiQdock available?
@theokeist - as of now - Iâm still keeping the source code for HiQDock closed. Iâm planning to eventually port the code to run using Qt6 instead of the Qt4. From my initial quick look at the upgrade to Qt6, it does not seem trivial.
May I ask as to your interest in the source code ?
@theokeist No - this is not an issue with Haiku - it is an issue with my HiQDock - the best way to use this Dock app is to check the checkbox for auto hide (âAutomatically hide and show the Dockâ).
(the problem stems from that fact that since Haiku does not yet support window transparency, so my app âfakesâ window transparency by taking a screen shot of the screen - but that âscreen shotâ is not refreshed unless youâre in auto-hide mode - as soon as the Dock is hidden and just before itâs raised, it takes a screenshot of the current screen and then draws the Dock over that screenshot to create the illusion of transparency (transparent background)

Alright in that case. What is missing in Haiku from allowing usage of transparency then?
