Dock to panel, the popular GNOME extension that merge the top-bar and bottom dock (aka the dash) into single classic Windows style panel, got big updates a few days ago.<\/p>\n

The new release added GNOME 48 support<\/b>, meaning it now works in Ubuntu 25.04 and Fedora 42 Workstation, though both are still in development at the moment of writing.<\/p>\n

Besides the new desktop release support, the extension also introduced some new features!<\/p>\n

It now provides a Dynaptic<\/b> option to automatically adjust panel length according to how many opened and pinned apps. And, it allows to configure the border radius, so you’ll get rounded panel borders. With these settings, your panel will look like just a dock.<\/p>\n

As well, there are options to configure the panel margins and padding. By setting the “Top and bottom margins”, the panel can now float away from screen edge, just like the “floating panel” feature in KDE Plasma 6.<\/p>\n

Like the default Ubuntu Dock, dash to panel now also support app spread. Meaning for same app with multiple windows opened, click the app icon on panel can now open the overview with all the app windows spread out.<\/p>\n
