Hello, Yes, it's true that these repaints could be optimised but repaints have already been minimised and having this feature could introduce new bugs, a more complex code (harder to maintain) and most of the time, the dock has to be resized (when adding/removing icons, moving the mouse inside the dock, producing effects over more than one icon, etc.) and all the window has to be repainted. Note that it shouldn't take too much resources, specially when using hardware acceleration.
But if you (or someone else) have an idea to improve the situation without introducing side effects, feel free to propose it here :-) ** Changed in: cairo-dock-core Importance: Undecided => Wishlist -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Cairo- Dock Devs, which is subscribed to Cairo-Dock Core. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1500529 Title: Cairo-Dock damages/repaints all of the dock windows if just one pixel in an applet changes Status in Cairo-Dock Core: New Bug description: This behavior produces unnecessary work for the graphics card and brings all the problems connected with that (more power drain/heat, less laptop battery life, etc.).
