Matrix on bottom-panel will only show 6 workspaces #232

Closed cponder closed 1 year ago

cponder commented 2 years ago

I set up my bottom-panel to show the workspace-matrix and am able to switch workspaces by clicking on the corrsponding cell. Also I can drag/drop application-windows between cells.

The problem is that if I increase the number of workspaces greater than 6, the matrix disappears and is replaced by a counter of the number of workspaces. If I click on the counter, it gives me a pop-up list of the workspaces, but I don't want that.

I'm using Ubunto 22.04. I was using Ubuntu 18.04 before, and could show 12 or more workspace cells on the matrix.

I'm not familiar with this behavior. Could you please show a screenshot of this?

This is the dconf Editor menu dconf Here's the Workspace Matrix with num-columns = 6: Panel Expanded Here's the Workspace Matrix with num-columns = 7: Panel Stupid There's plenty of room on my panel for a longer matrix. Also with just a number showing, I can't drag windows from one workspace to another. The limit of 6 visible workspaces seems absolutely arbitrary to me. Can't you please raise it to 12?

What you show on the screenshots is nothing that is done by this extension. Do you have another extension installed that does this?

How can I check? And is your extension only for viewing the matrix on the main screen, then, as opposed to being embedded into the bottom panel?

Is dash-to-panel who I need to talk to here?

I re-filed the issue here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell-extensions/-/issues/417

Her's the fix:

sudo vi /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/workspace-indicator@gnome-shell-extensions.gcampax.github.com/extension.js        # Set MAX_THUMBNAILS=20. Was =6.
gnome-extensions disable workspace-indicator@gnome-shell-extensions.gcampax.github.com
gnome-extensions enable  workspace-indicator@gnome-shell-extensions.gcampax.github.com
