icedman / gnome-shell-hammer

These are some script to keep my gnome desktop look and work as I prefer it.

GDM Theme

The gdm login screen is, up until now still difficult to customize. To theme it a little bit with custom background picture and some minimalist style touches run:

./extract.sh
./install.sh

Make sure to have your background / wallpaper saved at /usr/share/backgrounds/background.jpg

Dash2Dock-Lite

My own dash-to-dock implementation. Less features that Dash-To-Dock - and so less likely to break at gnome updates. I also has an animation feature like the macOS dock.

Dash Animator

My other extension which adds animation to Dash-to-Dock.

gnome-40 three finger-swipe

Three finger swipe to change workspace is a new addition in gnome-40. The switching animation is now smooth just like the way it is with macOS. However, I want to use four fingers to swipe between workspaces, not three. And as of gnome-42, there is no way to reconfigure the shell.

To switch back to four fingers simply run:

./compile.sh

Note: The [e-mail] is pretty useful. Drag windows with three fingers.

warning

These scripts modify the gnome-shell libraries. These are also tested only under ArchLinux. Make sure you know how to switch to another tty and revert changes or reinstall gnome-shell in case something is messed up.

extension

gnome-shell-hammer non-intrusive or extension version is broken as of gnome-42
