When I have two monitors connected to my computer (my laptop screen and an external display) and the computer is on the lock screen, the top bar shows. This doesn't occur when there is only one monitor connected.

Issue

When a pop up is opened it takes the full place of an window.

Examples

Albert Launcher

Gearly Email

Nautilus pop up

Expected

pop up floating above parent window

Example

Affected apps include

Spotify,
dconfeditor,
dosbox,
weather,
gnome texteditor,
gnome logs,
vlc,
cheese

The box in the middle of the screen is convenient for frequently used applications, but in dual-monitor setups, it is not always necessary. Can it possibly be hidden/invoked with a key shortcut?

Hello,

In gnome tweaks, material shell appear, but there is an error :
Error loading extension

How is it possible to have more logs ?

Thanks

Currently windows cannot be resized. It would be optimal to achieve the same behavior as most tiling wms, where resizing a window automatically resizes also neighboring tiles.

I'm very impressed by your work. I'm a Manjaro Linux maintainer and I plan to build a Manjaro edition that would enable this extension by default if it is okay to you. I would also add is an option to gnome-layout-switcher, which I'm developing.
https://gitlab.manjaro.org/Chrysostomus/gnome-layout-switcher

Featurewise this is probably the only "showstopper" issue before I would consider this ready for packaging and distribution. You have done amazing work, and I'm really looking forward to this project maturing and stabilizing.

Gnome uses wayland by default, and if you use the method in the readme (typing in the command r) you will get this error: "Restart is not available on wayland."

The current layout is excellent from window management point of view, but clock would be easier to read if it was in single line. Therefore I would suggest making the placement of the clock a toggleable option.

It would be interesting for productivity to add a shortcut to hide all workspace windows and show the current workspace launcher bar. And it would be the same shortcut that will show back all window of this workspace.

I would suggest something like : SUPER + D

Add the ability to toggle to the panels to increase the space for windows and still be able to navigate around with keyboard shortcuts

Installed the extension like describe but even after a reboot it isn't showing up.
Maybe some permission error or am i missing something?

Hi, thank you for the nice extension, do you think it would be possible to seperate this extension in a few smaller ones?
E.g. I would like to only use the tiling part, but with the workspace management and interface of gnome.

It would be great to get gaps configuration, like i3-gaps where you can set the gaps between windows and around the desktop screen edges.

Example:

Here is a link to the theme. It matches better than Adwaita does imo.

If necessary I will simplify the install process.

I use an RSS reader called RSS Guard. While everything else on my system works more-or-less correctly, RSS Guard's main window does not get correctly picked up by Material Shell. As a result, the window remains floating (over my Web browser's window) when the application is launched, with no window decorations or way of moving it to another tab.

Add a "Home" icon above the Internet one which just looks like the normal desktop. I want to be able to look at my wallpaper and see my shortcuts :)

Can we provide keybinding to move windows around? Is it possible to get a Super-C followed by Super x sequence so that it becomes cut and exchange?

Hi!

Following the resolution of #11, I updated material-shell, and go this:

Is it normal or a scaling error ?

Btw, I have a 200% HDPI scaling and giant icons with all applications.

Any way to remap the hot keys for alternative keyboard layouts/languages? I am using DVORAK, so the WASD keys are all over the board for me.

Thanks for your work! Great project and very helpful!

Like i say u over reddit, tiling split so strange over ultrawide monitors and panel/bar dont work fine

also can u pls take us an option to move/delete the clock?

For example moving the Social down and Others up. This would help me especially because terminal shows up in the others menu however, that is the one I use the most after browser and code editor.

The Categorie cards on the desktop can get to wide on porttraid screens and overlap.
See screenshot for an example

Android studio launch popup and similar dialog cast a shadow on the application running in that space. They scale the whole screen even they are not meant to do

Another thing that has been suggested before is a settings panel. It should be possible to control:

• Key shortcuts
• Icons
• Workspace order/layout/categories
• etc.

This is accomplished by creating a UI in XML and a prefs JavaScript file. A working implementation can be found in (Dash-to-Dock)[https://github.com/micheleg/dash-to-dock]. Check prefs.js and Settings.ui.

You can't interact with the "Internet" tab, but when you open an application from the dock that's in the internet tab, it indicates that the application is open.

The only way to fix is this to go to a new tab and then back to the Internet tab.

This is meant as a discussion thread. Feel free to post your use-cases, possible additional customization, the categories you'd create, etc.

The current categories can be seen as "sane defaults". However, customizing groups would be a great addition because:

• some applications, while correctly categorized, do not fit the category in daily use-cases (think FireFox being grouped with the torrent client Transmission),
• some applications are installed as dependencies and never used by the end-user, but are still present in the categories (think electron when installing Visual Studio Code).

The thought is to allow for a user-friendly way of:

• adding/deleting of categories,
• customizing of category icons,
• customizing of category names,
• adding/removing applications from a category.

When you suspend linux and try to log back in, a lot of weird things happen:

Lock Screen:

• Icons are large
• stacked horizontally or vertically

After logging in (on desktop):

• icons are duplicated
• windows are smaller than they normally are
• there's a small bit of desktop showing above all windows
• everything freezes

This is only fixed with a restart. Also more things might be added to this list the more I play around with it.

Every time gimp try to open a popup I got a system freeze (and no popup).

As of now I can't tile windows in my vertical screen to get them above and below each others, it could be great to have more layouts (an opt-in configuration?) that can cycle when clicking on the top-right icon in a similar fashion to awesome (https://awesomewm.org/apidoc/libraries/awful.layout.html).

It is not possible to scale to anything more than 100% (base), doing so will get the apps and the bars to overlap on top of each other and break the layout.

This is pretty common on HDPI monitors.

As in the old tray where icons like Steam would live. Any chance of this happening?
I currently use flatpak Steam, and if I accidentally close it, there is no way to open it back up besides killall then re-run it because you can run multiple instances of it with flatpak (also a big issue on Gnome standard).
I also have other tray things like owncloud, protonmail bridge etc, so yeah, kinda need this.

I use the "Quake" feature of Tilix heavily. When I press F12, a Tilix window (but without window controls) appears in the upper half of my screen and stays on top of everything. When I press F12 again, it effectively minimizes the window. This doesn't seem to work with Material Shell. When I press F12, it switches to the "others" tab and opens Tilix full screen. If I close it out again, it leaves me in the "others" tab, and I have to switch back to whatever I was doing.

The top half of the hamburger menu turns blue and shows the clock interface, while the bottom half opens up the application viewer. Can you unify this button into a single one which only displays the clock view?

Hi, very cool extension. However, I noticed that it creates many workspaces and alters the gnome-tweaks workspaces settings. That's fine I guess, but if I turn off your extension, the numerous workspaces are all retained. I dunno if this is what you intend but I'm guess not.

I can't take a screenshot of a window that's in one category because my screenshot app opens up in the "other" tab. I can only take a screenshot if I drag the window from the "other" workspace to the workspace with the window I want to screenshot using the menu button in the corner, or if I have two monitors (the other monitor shows "all applications").

I currently have no games installed and therefore this line:

https://github.com/PapyElGringo/material-shell/blob/master/module/workspaceEnhancer/workspaceEnhancerModule.js#L721

returns null and causes the following crash:

JS ERROR: TypeError: apps is undefined
_loadApps@~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/material-shell@papyelgringo/module/workspaceEnhancer/categorizedAppCard.js:38:29

If windows are minimized, their space should be available to other windows, otherwise minimizing is pointless apart from seeing the desktop behind.

Application launchers (the ones displayed in the middle of the screen by Material Shell) are not clickable until I click on a category in the left panel, only then they work.

I'm using Gnome Shell 3.32.1 / Ubuntu 19.04.

When there are open few windows of IntelliJ and you try to switch between them, you can see some random glitches on the screen.
Another issue is weird "dimming" after clicking on some specific interface elements (e.g. Maven toolbar) or using "split screen" feature when multiple instances of IntelliJ are open.

OS: Ubuntu 19.04

Currently, overlayed windows are not properly overlayed over other windows.

This is seen when using guake:

• "maximize" layout: opens in new window
• "grid" layouts: opens in new sub-grid

The same happens when using GNOME's screenshot tool.

Need to be able to navigate to my second monitor

org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings close for org.gnome.shell.extensions.materialshell.bindings kill-focused-window

org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-to-workspace-up for org.gnome.shell.extensions.materialshell.bindings previous-workspace

org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-to-workspace-down for org.gnome.shell.extensions.materialshell.bindings next-workspace

GNOME has a favorites category. In the vanilla shell the favorited apps show up on the dock. Since there is no dock, and apps can still be favorited, would it be possible to add a category that pulls from favorited apps?

Need a key shortcut to open the terminal,

and it should be Super+Enter as default

I would like the functionality to move between applications in the stacked view with a keyboard command.

The current behaviour of Super+D will cycle between the currently focused application and the application group. I would like it to go along the application tabs and end in the application group.

Hi, this really is an amazing work you've been doing ! But with all new projects, when they're tested by everyone some bugs emerge :). And I have found one pretty annoying.
For an unknown reason, my system tray is in the top left corner of the screen, and sometimes it blocks the access to application menu.

Maximizing a window currently animates to full screen for a very short period of time, then the window is reset to its original size. Instead, maximizing should have the same effect as having the window focused and toggling the layout to one window mode.

For applications like emacs, I don't find a title bar displayed? That is also true for LibreOffice. Is there a config to show title bar?

With a version from yesterday, the menu button was a dark blue color that matched my GTK theme. With the latest version, it has changed to a purple color. Can this be added as an option so the panel can match the theme that I use?
