Hello Deepin team,

I’ve been a Linux user for about 10 years, and among all the distributions I’ve tried, Deepin has always had the most beautiful and unique visual identity. The design of the previous versions — especially the classic dock — was one of the strongest elements that made Deepin stand out from any other desktop environment.

However, I noticed that the classic dock has been removed in Deepin 25.0.9. I would like to understand the reason behind this decision and whether there is any chance of bringing it back as an optional mode, even as a “classic” or “legacy” dock. It was a distinctive and beloved part of Deepin’s visual identity.

I would also like to report that in Deepin 25.0.9 there seems to be no way to hide desktop icons. Even when the desktop organizer is disabled, the options to hide icons do not appear. It would be very helpful to have this functionality available again.

Thank you for your hard work. Deepin 25.0.9 is beautiful and very smooth, and I hope these observations can help improve the experience even further.

Thank you.
