How do I Add Cairo Dock with OpenGL to Startup?

Question

Probably a dumb question, I have just started using linux again, since college 5 years ago, and getting back into the swing of things. I would like to add cairo dock to my startup and just cant figure out how for some reason, thanks.

Answer 1

I think you should check here where there is another question on how to run applications at startup:

Answer 2

follow the guide and you can specify in the command option which backend to use when running cairo-dock by specifying it as an option.

Run with OpenGL backend

cairo-dock -o

Run with Cario backend

cairo-dock -c

Answer 3

While the dock is running, right click on the dock. In the drop down menu there's an option to start cairo-dock on startup. Select it. Done.
