Gnome Extensions

Note: I use Extension Manager via flatpak to manage Gnome extensions.

• Burn My Windows: Just for fun, this animates the window open/close transitions. I use Apparition on open and TV Glitch on close.
• Dash to Dock for COSMIC: Provides a more Mac OS-like "dock" on the bottom of the screen, and makes it easier to manage multi-monitor setup.
• Fullscreen Avoider: Moves the top panel to the secondary monitor if the primary is in fullscreen. This lets me see the time, for example, while in a Zoom meeting.
• Fullscreen Hot Corner: Allows to use the upper-left "hot corner" to see workspaces overview, even while in full-screen mode.
• One Thing: Allows me to type something into the top bar, to help me maintain my focus on a task.
• Pano - Clipboard Manager: Excellent text & image clipboard manager
• Vitals - Shows CPU, network in top bar

Pop Shell

I like pop-shell, but don't like to have all of the configuration options available as a menu item in the taskbar, or even the ability to toggle tiling on/off. So I hide the pop-shell taskbar icon (it looks like 3 windows):

Comment out line 2127 of /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]/extension.js:

  //panel.addToStatusArea('pop-shell', indicator.button);
