$ cd animo-dock
$ make

Alternative

Checkout Dash Animator. It adds animation to Dash-to-Dock.

$ git clone https://github.com/icedman/dash-animator.git

Dynamic Icons

Dynamic trash icon is supported (beta). The first time this is enabled, a GNOME shell restart is required.

The trash icon has an action "Empty Trash" which requires a script {EXTENSION_PATH}/apps/empty-trash.sh with the content:

#!/usr/bin/sh
rm -rf ~/.local/share/Trash/*

Modify the script to match your system if necessary. And make sure that the script is executable:

chmod +x {EXTENSION_PATH}/apps/empty-trash.sh
