Maybe you can add an option to let the user decide if he wants to copy
the OS X comportment.

This bug is more a clever idea that would make the dock more smooth under the mouse move event.

I explain :

When moving the mouse overhe dock, the icons resizes under some views. This is a great effect and it's awesomely coded :)

The only little detail I want to report is a feature from the OSX dock On cairo-dock, the icons may resize when the mouse is actually ON an icon. The condition MUST (or at least should) be "mouse ON THE DOCK", that's to say on the panel and not on the icons. When you move, for example on the dock at the extreme left or right, there's a little space that's icon-free. When overing that zone, the icons just stop resizing, and the smooth effect breaks down.

I think that's quite easy to fix because the code is obviously good. I think you should just change the condition that triggers the magnifier effect.

Moreover, I wonder if the user can disable that effect in the panel ?

Thanks for your attention, and good luck :)
