With appreciation and thanks to @didrocks for what he had done to give us the beautiful desktop for last few years, and now trying hard to give us the new Ubuntu Dock to replace the Unity Launcher, it might be too much to ask him to do some more on that dock.
This Ubuntu dock was done in a hurry to meet the release of 17.10, and now that things are settled a bit, maybe a new Launcher, not a fork of someone else’s extension, but something that’s exclusive to Ubuntu would come by. Just a wish.
Well, the dock is a stripped down fork of Dash-To-Dock which has been existing for years and years. Dash-To-Dock wasn’t “done in a hurry”. And it wasn’t written by didrocks, just adapted to the requirements of the Ubuntu desktop team by him. The dock was written by micheleg.
How about we keep the app grid there, but add a trashcan icon, just like in Unity?
It would make a lot more sense to have a trashcan icon there instead of on the desktop, don’t you think?
All those wishes seem a bit pointless when micheleg is neither a Ubuntu developer nor even reading here. But to each his own, I guess
