# Dash to Dock - Modified Version

This GNOME Shell extension moves the dash out of the overview, transforming it into a dock for easier application launching and faster window and desktop switching without leaving the desktop view.

![Preview](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/egoficial/dash-to-dock/refs/heads/main/media/Preview.png)

## Modifications

- Removed extra internal padding.

- Removed extra icons spacing.

- Changed dash border radius to 6px.

## Installation from Source

To install the extension from source, clone the repository and build it.

### Build Dependencies

To compile the stylesheet, an implementation of SASS is required. Dash to Dock supports dart-sass (sass), sassc, and ruby-sass. We recommend using dart-sass (sass) or sassc, as ruby-sass is deprecated.

By default, Dash to Dock builds with sassc. To change this behavior, set the SASS environment variable:

```sh

export SASS=dart  # or export SASS=ruby

```

### Building and Installing

Clone the repository and install the extension:

```sh

git clone [email protected]:egoficial/dash-to-dock.git dash-to-dock

make -C dash-to-dock install

```

After installation, reload the GNOME Shell:

- Under Xorg: Press `Alt+F2`, type `r`, and press `Enter`.

- Under Wayland: Log out and log back in.

Enable the extension using `gnome-extensions-app` (GNOME Extensions) or `dconf`.

If `msgfmt` is missing, install the `gettext` package from your distribution's repository.
