This extension enhances the dash moving it out of the overview and transforming it in a dock for an easier launching of applications and a faster switching between windows and desktops without having to leave the desktop view.
For additional installation instructions and more information visit https://micheleg.github.io/dash-to-dock/.
The extension can be installed directly from source, either for the convenience of using git or to test the latest development version. Clone the desired branch with git
To compile the stylesheet you'll need an implementation of SASS. Dash to Dock supports dart-sass
(sass
), sassc
, and ruby-sass
. Every distro should have at least one of these implementations, we recommend using dart-sass
(sass
) or sassc
over ruby-sass
as ruby-sass
is deprecated.
By default, Dash to Dock will attempt to build with sassc
. To change this behavior set the SASS
environment variable to either dart
or ruby
.
export SASS=dart
# or...
export SASS=ruby
Clone the repository or download the branch from github. A simple Makefile is included.
Next use make
to install the extension into your home directory. A Shell reload is required Alt+F2 r Enter
under Xorg or under Wayland you may have to logout and login. The extension has to be enabled with gnome-extensions-app (GNOME Extensions) or with dconf.
git clone https://github.com/micheleg/dash-to-dock.git
make -C dash-to-dock install
If msgfmt
is not available on your system, you will see an error message like the following:
make: msgfmt: No such file or directory
In this case install the gettext
package from your distribution's repository.
