applet-window-appmenu VS material-shell

Hi all, At the moment I am giving tumbleweed another go. I am installing all my app- even though I am using the rpm versions (I come from Kubuntu). Previously, with psifidotos' appMenu, https://github.com/psifidotos/applet-window-appmenu, I could use VScode with the global menu. However, now it seems to not be working any longer. Any ideas what might be going on?

The player widget is mediacontroller_plus and the global menu is applet-window-appmenu

If it doesn't work, don't uninstall the above packages and try this applet (it is easier to install it from the KDE store).

My approach: $ git clone https://github.com/psifidotos/applet-window-appmenu.git to my ~/Downloads and run install.sh script

You could try this widget instead: https://github.com/psifidotos/applet-window-appmenu

Last time I used a global menu I used this applet https://github.com/psifidotos/applet-window-appmenu to get it working with GTK apps. Worked way better than the default applets.

I don't know ow the ins and outs of fedora and running scripts from the internet can end badly. If you're ok with that risk I'd look at the installation.md file. Near the bottom are directions for fedora.

Hey guys, new linux user here coming from windows. I have installed fedora and I am following a tutorial and it is asking me to install this. https://github.com/psifidotos/applet-window-appmenu

I really want https://material-shell.com/ for MacOS

it was perfect for using a single monitor

kinda like a deterministic alt+tab, you set up the layout of "workspaces" and they're always in the same place

I keep getting annoyed at alt+tab because I accidentally clicked on another window and now the order is messed up

I'm confused. How does that work? Is it like a GNOME extension or something; similar to how Material Shell works?

check this gnome plugin https://github.com/material-shell/material-shell

I don't know too much about that. You can achieve a lot with gnome extensions. And if you'd like to build your own and see what's possible, check out the source code of Material Shell

Website: https://material-shell.com/

Material Shell has Gnome 44 support: https://github.com/material-shell/material-shell/releases/tag/44

But you might want to try out Gnome first, with one of the many tiling extensions, or perhaps Material Shell for a Tiling like WM experience

Has anyone used Material Shell? It looks like it will do the tiling for me.

Hi, I'm working on Ubuntu 22.04.1 with Gnome 42.5. I used to be able to install shell extensions just fine with the Chrome extension. However (I think since (un)installing the Material Shell Extension), I can't install any extension anymore, not via the Chrome extension, not via the terminal (`gnome-extensions install -f ...`). In the browser, the switch is available and clickable, but nothing simply happens. Via the terminal, no feedback at all is given. When going over the [source code](https://github.com/material-shell/material-shell) of the material shell, it seems that it tampers with some extensions and God knows what else... Via `dconf` I had to enable the allowance of extensions (`disable-user-extensions`), also something Material Shell probably did. I uninstalled Material Shell according to the docs, but of course, not everything is undone...
