i tried to install cairo-dock after seeing it in a beautiful recreation of OS X Jaguar, since it has a really authentic old OS X dock theme complete w/ gloss and icon reflections. i installed it on Paralizer. it worked great. no issues whatsoever. i eventually decided it did not match the theme i had going on there so i uninstalled it and decided i would like to make Solus Serifa look like an OS X machine, since that thing hasnt looked authentic since i upgraded Slab Serif (its actual OS X partition) from Mavericks to El Capitan. so i went to install it, and it had a million dependencies. i said Whatever and let it run, when i noticed duplicate icons in my taskbar. it basically started installing the entirety of GNOME minus GNOME. i had the shitty default file opener programs from GNOME. i suddenly had the default fucking wallpapers from GNOME. so i said Fuck That and uninstalled it and went through the hassle of getting their own repository running and then overrode it such that cairo will only download from them, just for it to have the exact same amount of bullshit-useless dependencies. so i decided Fuck that and i just left it uninstalled and purged all my GNOME stuff and then i found out those icons were actually from vistathemeplasma, and they just sucked enough on their own i decided to completely remove the botched install i had of it.
