[FEATURE] responsive behavior when the dock appears in dockmode #104

Open JE-Amouel opened 4 months ago

JE-Amouel commented 4 months ago

Hi,

know that I always greatly appreciate the efforts you make to always provide quality extensions, frankly, I was very tempted to change my desktop environment to see something a little different, but each time I came back to gnome because on gnome there are your extensions, which allows me to have a very customizable, beautiful and very productive desktop.

I hope that I would always be welcome to request some functionality.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. It turns out that the dock is a little too low and when I trigger the display it is superimposed on my panel which is also on the same side of the screen, which hides my task bar. would it be possible to have an option to define the distance of the dock from the edge of the screen?, like that I could also put the dock at a position that suits me best, just to unify the overall style of the desk.

dockmode

Describe the solution you'd like there is, however, a non-negligible criterion to take into account, the fact that my panel is in intellihide ( dash-to-panel's auto hide feature), it would be good if when the aatws dock and the panel are on the same side of the screen, bottom or top, the gap value that we have defined become responsive, so when the panel is visible, the defined gap becomes between the panel and the aatws dock, and when the panel is hidden, the defined gap becomes that between the edge of the screen and the aatws dock.

Describe alternatives you've considered otherwise just being able to define the distance from the edge of the screen could do the trick.

THANKS.

Trick to adjust the bottom margin:

I appreciate your feedback, feel free to request whatever you want. Just be patient with me and don't be disappointed if my priorities are different ;)

Trick to adjust the bottom margin:

  • Open windowSwitcherPopup.js (from ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/advanced-alt-tab@G-dH.github.com/src/ directory)
  • Find this.MARGIN_BOTTOM = 12; line
  • Replace the 12 with margin in pixels
  • Save the file
  • Restart Shell

it works thank you very much :smile:

but I'im still a little afraid of having to make this modification, each time I update AATWS, or each time I install it on a new machine.

Could you please add to the aatws configuration UI a way to do this?.

I appreciate your feedback, feel free to request whatever you want. Just be patient with me and don't be disappointed if my priorities are different ;)

Feature requests can sometimes be counter-intuitive to your priorities, and I really appreciate the patience you had in understanding user issues and providing solutions to them, thank you.
