run instruction

[ArtisArtStudio]

I am newbie, run instructions arent clear. Could you please real commands to be copied and pasted. cp *.xml doesnt work. and xml files are all in different folders...thanks for developing this though I hope I can use it.

If you are using Deepin V20, than:

wget https://github.com/SeptemberHX/dde-top-panel/releases/download/0.5.5/dde-top-panel-0-5-5.zip
unzip dde-top-panel-0-5-5.zip
cd dde-top-panel-0-5-5
sudo cp *.xml /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas
sudo glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas

# run
./dde-top-panel

For other distributions, I am not sure package names of the dependencies as detailed in readme, and I cannot help about it.
After building from source with commands below:

git clone https://github.com/SeptemberHX/dde-top-panel.git
cd dde-top-panel
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

run

sudo cp ../xml/com.deepin.dde.toppanel.gschema.xml /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas
sudo glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas

and

./frame/dde-top-panel

Hi there,

I think it must be :
sudo cp ./xml/com.deepin.dde.toppanel.gschema.xml /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas
if you are in the folder you extracted.

and even doing correctly and doing the glib thing, there is no file ./frame/dde-top-panel

Do we have to compile it?

edit also cd dde-top-panel-0-5-5 must be
cd 0.5.5

Additional problems: It cant disable the dde-dock. It keeps re-appearing on top. And dde-top-panel doesnt load automatically each login. How can we establish that?

Thanks for pointing out the mistakes.
./frame/dde-top-panel is only shown when you compile it from source.
If you download the zip file in the release page, then you can unzip it, cd into it, and run dde-top-panel file.
If you are using Deepin V20, I recommend to download the pre-build version in the release page.

For the autostart, currently it is not supported yet. You need to create a desktop file for it and put the desktop file to ~/.config/autostart as detailed in Ask Ubuntu.
And you cannot disable dde-dock by dde-top-panel. Renaming /bin/dde-dock to /bin/dde-dock.bak is a good choice I think.

Yes I wasn't downloding the build. Now I was finally able to load it automatically and disable dde-dock but it is not showing the open applications. The plugins are too small as you cant change the height of the panel. And some apps still show the title bar, like file manager...I stopped using it because it didn't solve my problem related to datetime plugin. But nice work . Please keep it up!!!

Datetime plugin crashes after deepin v20 on 25-nov update
