gnome-shell-extension-appindicator VS inter

If you use Gnome as DE, you also have to install this Gnome extension for fcitx5 to work.

GNOME Extensions : quick-settings-tweaker, appindicator and KStatusNotifier, arcmenu, blur-my-shell, dash-to-panel, forge, gsconnect, just-perfection, show-desktop-button, space-bar, user-themes and vitals

I'm currently using 4 extensions.

system-monitor (https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/120/system-monitor/). It is nice to see my CPU and memory usage at a glance with some history. I don't look too often but it can be good for understanding how builds are progressing, check that my software is utilizing parallelism well and see when things are in an infinite loop gobbling RAM.

Clipboard History (https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/4839/clipboard-histor...)

I can't live without a clipboard manager, this seems to do a decent job.

Bing Wallpaper (https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1262/bing-wallpaper-c...)

I don't see my wallpaper often but when I open the menu or log in it is nice to have a new beautiful picture.

AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support (https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/615/appindicator-supp...)

I like icons in my toolbar.

- Pop Shell for i3-like tiling (fuck stacking) _remove from store (?)_- Workspace indicator by open apps: I need to know what's in my dynamic workspaces, not just a simple indicator or number _little ad, developed by me_- AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support for tray icons (background apps)

Have you tried using this extension? that's the extension that pop os and ubuntu uses, for me it worked as expected with league on fedora

You need to install an extension like this one.

Use a different extension: AppIndicator an KStatusNotifierItem Support, conveniently packaged as gnome-shell-extension-appindicator.

it's this one. no idea if it's standard or I added it, this is a system that was upgraded from F34. but the microstutters were driving me nuts and disabling it fixed it for good. I've moved over to the Trayicons Reloaded extension, as I need the tray icons for various apps and this issue hadn't occurred since.

It is probably hidden in the tray that doesn't exist. You could use this extension: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/615/appindicator-support/

I couldn't agree more. I've been using it as my go-to font for web development (which is its exact design purpose) for years. Nothing looks bad in Inter[0]. It's an easy win.

The best features for web dev are great readability across its variety of weights (0-900 in CSS) from a single font file, along with a huge set of glyphs, ligatures, special numbers, etc. if you want them.

Yeah no... macOS doesn't have a font that looks uncomfortably tall like that. Use Inter at 9pt font size if you really want the macOS look.

Now you also need to download and install 'Inter' font. Go here: https://rsms.me/inter/ And download it, install it. We will use it later.

It’d be nice if something like Inter[0], which is specifically designed for onscreen/UI usage, were bundled with each OS and could be assumed to be present, making it unnecessary to include Arial or Helvetica in one’s stack.

If you are really trying to mimic macOS then you should try Inter. Current version is 3.19 but the much improved version 4.0 is coming out very soon (you can download the latest beta here). This font is pretty much an open-source alternative to Apple's SF fonts and they render at the correct size on all platforms. With a little tweaking of the font rendering, you can make it look almost identical to macOS.
