Aaah yes Dash To Panel is now updated & working, thats my #1 extension and Gnome should make it as a default extension. :nerd_face:

Blur my shell
Just perfection
And one that enables app icons in the top bar

No dock or panel for me, I’m all search and workspaces these days

I also use different icons cause the poo brown folders hurt my soul

Color Picker (amazing for web design)
Dash to Panel
LAN IP Address
User Themes
AAAAAAND Compiz windows effects (because once you use it, you CAN NOT EVER go back)!

My favorite tweak for Dash to Panel is the center alignment of the icons and zoom on hover effect like macOS has.

Compiz windows effect, is that like Magic Lamp on Plasma?

Hopefully most of them will still be working when the next upgrade comes along, in six month or so.
Dash-to-Panel and Dash-to-Dock seem be among the ones tending to break. It is up to the developers to catch up I guess. Most of the time it will all work out.

So would these be the top 5 Gnome extensions used?

1.Dash To Panel
2.Dash To Dock
3.ArcMenu
4.Blur My Shell
5.Unite

I have https://extensions.gnome.org/ sorted by popularity, not sure that’s accurate.

Just Perfection and User Themes is all I use these days, dont have need of anything else. :+1:

I think the panel and dock extensions are the ones that break the most after releases.

I always install blur my shell… cause it’s pretty :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

User Themes, does that come with new/different themes?

No, User Themes just “enables” you the ability to introduce your own themes. User Themes by itself doesn’t “technically” do anything.

I have 4, only one i really need/like a lot is Dash to Panel. Thanks for sharing. :+1:t3:

ArcMenu
Dash to Panel
Unite
Blur My Shell

I could do without Blur My Shell, but the other 3 i like a lot and should be part of Gnome(imho).

I installed just perfection and enabled it using

gnome-extensions enable just-perfection-desktop@just-perfection

But unable to find it anywhere on my computer. How do I use it?

There must be an “app” called Extensions on your system for configuring all your extensions.
