I use:
Dash to Dock
Dim Background Windows
Wallpaper Slideshow

My must-haves are

  • Battery time (pomoke)
  • Caffeine
  • Dash to Dock
  • QSTweak

Others would be Alphabetical App Grid, App menu is back, and Just Perfection, but they’re more like nice-to-haves.

I still hope the “Sound Input & Output Device Chooser” will be made compatible soon, I haven’t used it but it seems like a useful extension.

many, but most useful is window calls, with a script i can make windows open where i want them to be. sort of like devilspie (which doesent work on wayland)

Is that similar to "Auto Move Windows"?

i dont know, never used that one. looks like it just moves windows to specific desktops?
window calls, the way i use it, can be used to make an app appear where you want it on the screen, like say rhythmbox always opens in the bottom left corner, or whatever coordinates you define

caffeine and tiling windows used in pop OS

I ditched the Arch Linux Updates Indicator. For some reason it stopped working after my last update. I switched to Pamac Updates indicator. It works well.

I use Tiling Assistant, mostly cause I like to easily overlay Tiling windows with transparency over something like firefox

Usually nothing.

Occasionally app icon indicator, blur my shell and dash to dock.

When using Gnome:

Dash2Dock
Blur my shell
Custom Accent Colors

I still want custom themes, but I’m sure that won’t last much longer…

Dash to panel and Arc menu are a must for me
