Dash to Dock compatibility #29
Comments
Hi. Last time I tried, extensions didn't support custom theming. I'll try again. |
Thanks! |
Please let me know, if you've made some progress on this. Can't wait to test this out. |
There's a new version¹ out with an option to apply a custom theme (the customized Adwaita theme), but, imho, it looks a little bit out of place with the numix version, because the reddish underlining is still there². It would be really nice, if the dots would be a little bit bigger and have the color of the underlining, that should be removed. Is this currently possible? ¹ https://micheleg.github.io/dash-to-dock/news/index.html |
I wonder why the dev doesn't reuse the styles from the default dash, as it'll allow user themes to style it. I think its silly that we theme devs will need to support specific extensions, whereas the extension dev could have supported all user themes. Check our dock extension https://github.com/ozonos/atom-dock if that could fill your need. Right now I don't have much time to do this. BTW Atom Dock appears on bottom, and not left side, also it's still in developement, so has some bugs. |
Hello, |
With that option that I've recently introduced (both to 3.12 and 3.10) to avoid distributing a separate theme that was actually just a couple of minor tweaks I'm actually overwriting the theme settings, but I state in the option that it's meant for Adwaita. As it's on by default, maybe I should document better the thing. In any case, if you have ideas on how to implement better theming support, for instance adding further custom classes, let me know. |
@micheleg Hmm.. may be you can check if the theme is Adwaita and only then enable it? Is it possible? |
@micheleg Also, I would avoid adding custom classes as themes will need to add styles to support the extension. |
Yes, I suppose it's possible to get the theme and disable the option in Regarding custom classes: as far as I know there is no way I can allow a The idea is that if those are ignored, still all the style of the default |
@micheleg The running applications thing, that's how you style it. But different themes already have different styles for running apps. So the thing is, should you really worry about that? |
What I added is the ability to apply different style for different number Similarly, there is the .extended class, in case one want to tweak the These are meant as additional features not interfering at all with all |
@micheleg Yeah, these are understandable, and you cannot do anything better here anyways :D Cheers for caring so much about third party themes. Many devs don't do that :( |
Hey Satya! Is there still a chance, that the Numix Gnome Shell will be compatible with Dash to Dock? |
@sojusnik I would love to add support. But I'm very much busy :( Patches are more than welcome. |
Don't worry! Take your time and thanks for Numix and your other wonderful projects! |
Just an update: in the latest versions of dash-to-dock the built-in theme is disabled by default and it's optionally split in three parts: size shrinking, background customization and windows counter dots. Still not perfect with all themes, but this is the best that can be done on my side. |
Looks very promising, thanks! |
Thanks. Will have a look. On Sat, Jan 17, 2015, 5:19 PM sojusnik notifications@github.com wrote:

The new version of Dash to Dock changed, among other things, the color of the dots, so that the Numix theme currently looks the following way. IMHO, the most elegant solution would be now, that the dot(s) of the active application should be colored in the typical Numix reddish/orange color, while the other dots should remain gray. All other current indicators like the orange underlining and the indentation of the icon of the active application could be easily removed. |
Have some issue with corners artifacts, opened in micheleg/dash-to-dock (162). When change shell theme - all is fine. |
Hi Satya!
Thanks for your effort making the Linux experience a little more polished and user-friendly!
Your wonderful Numix Gnome-Shell theme could be even better, if this theme was compatible with the Gnome Extension called "Dash to Dock"¹. Some themes already support it², since it's actually quite easy to achieve³.
Would be great, to see this implemented soon!
