micheleg / dash-to-dock

A dock for the Gnome Shell. This extension moves the dash out of the overview transforming it in a dock for an easier launching of applications and a faster switching between windows and desktops.

Very often dramatically slows shell in its animations on Fedora to 64 bit true I do not have a great graphics card but can improve??

I find the extension really comfortable and I would really dislike disabilitarla...ma in fact disabled animations are always clear without any slowdown!!!!

Hi,

Can you confirm the shel is usable without the extension? What in particular is slowed down? The overview animations, or even the general use?

i don't know how to takle this specifically unfoertunately. What i can say is to give a try to the new version when gnome 3.32 will be released, as there have been a number of small preformance impovements in gnome-shell as well as this extension (https://github.com/micheleg/dash-to-dock/commit/0d717c27d2b709d9710bcb7a71e079324fb048dc). I don't expect it will be dramatically better.

You can get the ltest extensoin version (v65) already from here https://micheleg.github.io/dash-to-dock/releases.html

The animations slows down, it seems a little better on btrfs

My graphics card is a bit obsolete and on fedora I only have Mesa drivers available, but on an SSD !!!

I can confirm that popping up a video with gst-play by example is dramatically slow (1-2s to finish display) with dash-to-dock and absolutely normal without.
