Settings for these extensions are in gnome-tweaks
.
Use this to remove the titlebar from maximized windows, which frees valuable screen real-estate, especially on laptops.
Unlike "No Title Bar", this extension does not put controls on the top bar, you will need to learn the keyboard shortcuts for window management like Super+H
to hide a window, Super+Down
to restore etc. "No Title Bar" is broken in 3.32.
Unfortunately Desk Changer, to rotate wallpapers and lock screen wallpapers, is broken in 3.32. The script in the above issue comment suffices for the time being.
Add a beautiful dock to your gnome, like on a mac. This is one of the best and most feature-complete gnome extensions there is. I recommend setting the unhide pressure to 50 if you use autohide.
Auto-hide the top bar, configurably. This extension may have issues with real fullscreen apps, but if you use gtk-title-bar maximized windows, they are essentially fullscreen and do not have any issues with this extension. I recommend setting unhide pressure to 50.
Disables the slide animation when switching workspaces, which IMO is annoying. If you switch workspaces frequently you will most likely want this.
The workspace thumbnails on the right in overview are more annoying than helpful, not to mention ugly. They are also going to be wrong if you use workspace-matrix. This extension removes them.

Unfortunately the workspace switch popup in gnome is more annoying than pleasant or helpful, probably due to the delays in hiding even with instant-switcher-popups, this extension removes it. If you switch between workspaces frequently you will most likely want this. To know where you are in your workspaces, turn on Workspace Indicator, which is a built-in extension.
Isolates the alt-tab
switcher popup to apps running on the current workspace.
If you're using wayland, e.g. on fedora, which I'm not, this will enable some multitouch gestures like on a mac, and these days, windows.
This allows you to arrange your workspaces in a grid with rows and columns. You have to set the workspaces to static in gnome-tweaks with the number being the total number of cells in the grid.
You can set set keyboard shortcuts in dconf-editor
, under org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings
. There are shortcuts for moving left/right/up/down
built-in to gnome.
This removes the unhelpful delay for switcher popups like alt-tab
.
Also recommended, in gnome-tweaks
under Top Bar, turn off the top left hot corner.
No Topleft Hot Corner is implemented in gnome-tweaks under "Top Bar" - no need for the extension.
