TLDR; This is because of the scaling of my laptop, Cairo Dock was opening out of the radius of the screen, when i changed scaling back to 1 it works. @OdiousImp has found the thread for the bug describing the UI scaling issue. @freebird54 has written an article about HiDPI using XFCE. Does anyon…

As an XFCE guy - and on a hi-dpi (4K) screen - I doubt you need scaling anyway. Have you tried other hi-dpi tricks? Such as: [image] How to handle hi res screens Things to do with a Hi-dpi screen on XFCE To begin - here is screenshot of the Settings app for XFCE First off, there is…

if i install cairo i install from repository… which desktop / videocard are you running?
