forge VS Tray-Icons-Reloaded

i used force extension for that, since it supports gnome 43 and modified colors to make sure it looks good with catppuccin

For gnome autotiling you can look at forge or pop-shell.

There is another alternative: Forge

On github

For tiling i'm using with: Forge. https://github.com/jmmaranan/forge

I tested the Forge extention https://github.com/jmmaranan/forge in Gnome 3.36 on Linux mint.

I didn't know about Forge until it appears in a recent comment on this sub, this extension implements a fully featured tiling wm into Gnome.

Try: Forge

Tray Icons Reloaded

"It only works with Xorg and XWayland."

I don't know if there's an extension that works on all the icons, but if you're on Xorg, the Tray Icons Reloaded extension has a feature where it collapses app indicators into a … button. So your Discord and Slack icons are hidden, but your wifi status is still viable.

I use https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/2890/tray-icons-reloaded/ and put the limit to one, then I don't see any icons except three dots which then shows my icons when I click on it in an overflow, like https://github.com/MartinPL/Tray-Icons-Reloaded/blob/master/.github/overflow.png

I also change a few things using GNOME Tweaks; namely setting the application theme to Orchis-grey-dark-compact (https://github.com/vinceliuice/Orchis-theme), icon theme to Flatery-Dark (https://github.com/cbrnix/Flatery) and system font to Inter (https://rsms.me/inter/).

I've been using this setup for quite a while and I've been very happy with my computing experience, both in terms of aesthetics and overall UX. I tried tiling WMs for a while (first KWin and then i3 / Sway) but I found that I'm just a messy person who tends to be more productive with a floating WM.

I think the extension you want is Tray Icons: Reloaded. Have a look at its "overflow mode".
