How do I Add Cairo Dock with OpenGL to Startup?

Question

Probably a dumb question, I have just started using linux again, since college 5 years ago, and getting back into the swing of things. I would like to add cairo dock to my startup and just cant figure out how for some reason, thanks.

follow the guide and you can specify in the command option which backend to use when running cairo-dock by specifying it as an option.

Run with OpenGL backend

cairo-dock -o

Run with Cario backend

cairo-dock -c

While the dock is running, right click on the dock. In the drop down menu there's an option to start cairo-dock on startup. Select it. Done.
