Gnome 43 Bugs

I didn’t try other icon theme.

If you don’t require firewalld specifically you could uninstall it and install ufw and/or the graphical app gufw, I use it and it doesn’t use a tray icon at all, so it’s a “cleaner” look. But if you need firewalld for a specific reason I understand.

I switched to dash to dock and is okay.

So i can live with this setup on Gnome. It’s pretty good.

So… are you gonna make the switch? :wink:

I doubt i will switch but i could. This setup isn’t too bad the way i have it. I don’t have any desktop icons. But that’s not necessary.

There is an extension for that as well :sweat_smile:

I don’t use it though.

I installed it but i can’t figure out how to add desktop icons? :thinking:

Edit: Okay i see the problem?

I have never used it so I don’t know how to configure it.

Actually I never use desktop icons even on DE:s where you can use them.

Edit: Anyway this setup isn’t too bad.

It looks good!

If you want some blur in the background >> blur my shell

Yes this is nice. Is there anyway to make the icons smaller in size in activities?

Don’t know. I have never looked for that.

There is an extension for that, but it hasn’t been updated for Gnome 43 yet.

You can install it from Github - https://github.com/Selenium-H/App-Grid-Tweaks. There’s also an experimental branch that has initial Gnome 42 support - https://github.com/Selenium-H/App-Grid-Tweaks/tree/experimental.

I think we need a separate topic “Ric is trying gnome” as this is pretty epic turn of events :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: :grin:

Aren’t you a KDE user? That’s one of the features of KDE :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: lol

Caffeine, Just Perfection and User Themes are my staple extensions.

Caffeine to inhibit screensaver when I need to without changing the setting

Just Perfection can tweak a huge amount of GNOME settings but I mostly use it to move the clock, & notifications to the right instead of center & change the activities label to an icon

User Themes explains itself

Gnome already removed support for desktop icons when I used it years ago. In fact, he hasn’t really supported them for quite some time.
