Are you using a custom Shell theme? GS 46 brought significant changes to the styling of overview widgets, which V-Shell reflects. I can't reproduce the issue on my Fedora 40 installation.

I'm using the default Adwaita shell theme, with Papirus icon theme and different font. But issue exist also with default icons and font.

Where V-Shell profile settings are saved? How can I backup my settings, reset all V-Shell settings and later easily restore my settings? I want to test with default V-Shell profile 2 settings.

You can store your current configuration to any other profile on the Profiles tab and then reset the profile 2 and load it. However, I don't believe it will make a difference. Does disabling V-Shell (and restarting Shell with V-Shell disabled) help?

[meybonomme]

I figured out that it is a conflict between V-Shell and Dash to Dock. If I turn off Dash to Dock, reboot the shell, and load another V-Shell profile and then my profile again, everything is fine. Until I switch Dash to Dock back on. Dash to Dock seems to overwrite something in the active V-Shell profile. If only V-Shell or Dash to Dock is active and not both at the same time, this problem does not occur. Dash to Dock is the latest version from E.G.O.

I know Dash to Dock is a big headache for you and you recommend not using it with V-Shell, but for me both are important. I also know that you have tried to cooperate with Dash to Dock maintainers, but they have ignored it. It is sad that there is no wish to cooperate and avoid conflicts between extensions on both sides...

Thanks for the report, I'll look into it, it's a conflict of stylesheets.

I can confirm this issue is fixed and the issue can be closed now. Thank you very much!
