I would love to use a mono space font in Nautilus File Manager (not necessarily in the menus but in the actual file window). Anyone has a good tip? I tried to find it in dconf but did not succeed so far.

I am running fedora 41 and Gnome Shell 47.1

the Idea is to use local LLM to autocomplete the text in any Gnome/Linux apps, ideas ?

Thanks!

Loading App Details blocks interactivity after a lot of interactions

I feel it has improved with recent GNOME updates, but this screen is still appearing often and is quite disruptive.

Using SFTP it seems like my connection always caps out at 10MB/s.

hello, i used the morewaita-icon pack copr repo and installed adwaita-colors and auto adwaita colors, unfortunately, gnome keeps defaulting to adwaita by default despite me selecting morewaita.

I'd like to replicate it on Emacs, both the light and the dark variant.

Hey all, I gnome tray icons is a controversial topic on Gnome. I use Polybar and I generally don't care about tray icons, but I have s new cloud storage solution that minimizes to the tray, and I can't find a good way to get it back to the foreground otherwise.

So my question is, are there any ways to show tray icons, without adding them to your top bar? A little popup in overview would be great, or even adding them to the dash. I've hunted around a little bit, but I couldn't seem to find anything, so suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

i know it's possible with editing the gnome-shell.css, but does anyone know the exact line? i just want to change the color of the status icons.

Hey everyone,

I'm running EndeavourOS with Gnome 47.1 and encountering a frustrating issue with a corrupted screen upon waking from sleep. Every time my system wakes, the icons and text on the GDM login screen look garbled and distorted (see attached image).

Here's what I know so far:

• Problem: Corrupted screen on wakeup (GDM login screen). Icons and text are distorted.
• Login: Despite the corruption, I can still log in successfully.
• Boot: This issue only occurs after waking from sleep, not during a fresh boot.
• Troubleshooting: I've already tried disabling all Gnome extensions, but it had no effect.

I suspect this isn't an EndeavourOS-specific problem, but rather something related to Gnome/GDM.

Has anyone encountered this before or have any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Hello gnomes,

I'm on Debian 12, and when using an Ubuntu live CD I noticed it had the feature where when you use edge window tiling, it proposes other active apps to fill the other side of the screen.
Kind of like in Windows.

I'd like to enable the feature on my gnome debian, how do I do it?

Thanks in advance !

Hey guys do you know any extensions that change the minimize (hide) window animation?

hi, im new and im trying to customize my ubuntu desktop, im trying to find addons which allows me to customize the top bar in my desktop, i found the extension called Aylur's Widget but it is not available in gnome, are there any other options to customize my top bar?

I am getting "an error occurred while loading this extension" in Extension Manager for Fly-Pie. It started and is loaded and everything seems to work fine. I am able to make and use menus and all that. I have been searching for like an hour and JavaScript and HTML keep coming up. I can not find anything that would help fix the error even though it doesn't seem to have issues. Any help is appreciated

I have a pretty bog standard install of Fedora 41 Workstation with GNOME 47 using version 48 of the Night Theme Switcher GNOME extension. If it matters, I'm using Wayland.

I figure I'm missing something obvious since I don't see any other reports of this issue online. Maybe the extension might be pulling my time zone from a specific file that I don't know about, or the Fedora installer writes the time zone at the time of installation to a file and the extension uses that.

Behaviour

• It's 11:00 in the morning here, but Night Theme Switcher has night mode enabled right now.

Things I've tried

• Toggling the extension off and on
• Removing and installing the extension
• Specifying my shell and extension version to install
• When I run timedatectl, I see my RTC is set to UTC and my local time zone is correct
• The offset in the extension's hidden settings are set to the default 0.4
• Since automatic location isn't available, I manually set my coordinates in the extension's hidden settings and confirmed that they're correct.

Not sure if this is a gnome issue or not but hopefully someone can help.

I'm using Arch Linux and gnome. For some reason automatic suspend after a timer doesn't work. The screen doe go blank after 5 minutes and locks, but even though the power settings is set to suspend after 15 minutes nothing happens.

I can manually wake and suspend the pc, and the power button that's set to suspend also works fine when pressed.

It just won't sleep automatically for some reason. I have caffeine installed but it's off, otherwise the screen wouldn't lock, and the power thing is set to balanced.

I used to have Plasma on this computer but i had enough and removed it and installed gnome back without reinstalling the entire system. Sleep worked normally there and i was thorough when removing it.

The only other DE besides gnome installed is COSMIC, but I'm not sure it has sleep functions yet, i dont use it that much.

Coming from yaru(ubuntu), not really looking to stick with it though.

I love adwaita, all other themes are way worse in most factors. My only problem is that adwaita “dark” is best described as light gray. Is there any untouched adwaita recolors that are darker(or even completely black)?

For some reason, no matter how many unread emails there are, Betterbird (fork of Thunderbird but without the telemetry and with some other improvements) always shows "3" in the dock icon badge. Is there an easy way to make it show the actual unread email count?

(This does appear to be a Gnome specific issue).

For some reason I am unable to change my wallpaper. Add picture does not open file manager, image viewer can't set background, and gnome-tweaks doesn't open file manager. Any advice?

(I did change my file manager from Nautilus to Nemo a while back.)

Is it just me or does GDM need a serious facelift.

This seems like a basic feature but I am not sure if it exists.

You can create custom shortcuts in "GNOME Settings: Keyboard: View and Customize Shortcuts: Custom Shortcuts".

Those shortcuts have commands.

I need to pass the current user's home directory path to one of those custom commands WITHOUT HARDCODING IT MYSELF. Like "somecommand "%home/Pictures"".

Is there some way to do it?

---

I have tried and failed all these in the keyboard settings Command field, none of them get expanded:

• ~/foo
• $HOME/foo

---

Edit: The only solution seems to be to launch a shell to do the parameter expansion.

So setting the command to any of these works:

• sh -c 'notify-send "$HOME/Pictures"'
• sh -c 'notify-send "$(xdg-user-dir PICTURES)"'
• The xdg-user-dir solution is better because it works internationally with all languages. Thanks meskobalazs for this idea.

I'm setting up a .desktop file for an appimage (bambu labs studio). The file is created, and working save for one thing. The base icon pinned to my dock is correct but WHEN I run the app it appears as a separate generic icon. What steps do I need to set the icon on the active/running app?

EDIT: they don't work when launched from GNOME's launcher either.

EDIT2: I've deleted the launcher, confirmed that chrome no longer shows in the app overview, recreated the launcher (with the flags) and confirmed that now chrome shows, and launched it—this suggests it's actually referencing the .desktop file with the flags. But the flags are not active.

EDIT3: I've created an entirely new minimal custom launcher with nothing but the minimum required details and the exec line that includes the flag. It launches chrome WITHOUT the flags. This is so weird because gtk-launch menulibre-new-launcher DOES use the flags—confirming further that the .desktop files are functional, but the flags are somehow being ignored when launched via icons.

EDIT4: vanilla arch, gnome, wayland

EDIT5: Also tried making the Exec line just act as a wrapper that calls a custom script which explicitly uses /usr/bin/google-chrome-stable --enable-features=TouchpadOverscrollHistoryNavigation %U which we know works—it still doesn't work.

At this point I'm totally lost. 🤷‍♂️🫨🤯

Running gtk-launch google-chrome from a terminal will launch chrome using the Exec line from /usr/share/applications/google-chrome.desktop:

Exec=/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable --enable-features=TouchpadOverscrollHistoryNavigation %U

But pinning the resulting icon, then launching chrome using that icon never launches with the flags.
