Hi all,

is there a way to hide/remove only the Wifi icon form the dock?
I'm using ethernet only, and Wifi is not used by me.

Right click on the dock, choose the last option(plug-in?), then you can find TIME/NETWORK/POWER, etc

Thx, I've already tried it, it removes all network section including ethernet.
I wanted "only the Wifi icon" to be gone.

Well...I have an ethernet icon, but i don't have a wifi icon on the dock.
Thats probably because i don't have a wifi card.
So, may i suggest two things?
1. blacklist the module associated with the wifi.
2. remove the wifi interface from the Network Manager managed interfaces.

Sorry, i can't be more specific. I'm nowhere near a deepin operating system for now.
You will find many instructions on how to do the above on the internet.

Additionaly,
there is also a config file for the dock in ~/.config directory. I can't remember what are the contents of it, but it may be useful to take a look.
And lastly, if i remember correct, if you drag an icon out of the dock it disappears. If so, you could simulate a move like that at start up with a tool like xdotool.
