I have tried running it from release zip, however nothing is displayed. In the terminal I get following log:

What WM are you using?

The default location for the dock is top center. Could there be another bar or something over the dock?

For example, I start polydock after polybar and that seems to make sure it's dispayed on top of polybar.

OpenBox. I do not use any bar.

Answer 3 · 2020-06-19T08:40:08.000Z

The problem seems to be that OpenBox manages the Polydock window, even though it is a dock. Polydock then sees it's own window overlap with itself and automatically hides.

I'll release a fix later today.

This should be fixed in https://github.com/folke/polydock/releases/tag/2.0.3

Let me know if you would still experience any issues!

Answer 5 · 2020-06-19T11:03:00.000Z

Ok, it works. Any way to force it to never hide?

I just pushed a new release where you can disable autoHide 🙂

[behavior]
autoHide=false

I am having the same issue on the latest release while running on OpenBox. Polydock is running, but not visible. I use polybar, but even with it not running I cannot see polydock. I was using the polywins module before with polybar and if I ran polydock I could see its name pop up in the polywins dock and if right clicked on it I could select somewhere else on the desktop to "place" it. This made it visible, but also full screen across my 3 monitors... So it is technically running, but not sure where OpenBox is hiding it. I disabled "autoHide" as well.
