Enable Dash-to-Panel after installation

If you've installed Dash-to-Panel from anywhere other than the GNOME Extensions website, you will need to enable it manually.

1. Reload GNOME Shell.

   • Xorg (Default for Ubuntu): Alt-F2 and in the dialogue that pops up, enter the command r
   • Wayland (Default for Fedora & Debian): Logout and back in

2. Enable the extension via one of the following methods:

   • The gnome-shell-extension-prefs GUI tool shipped with GNOME Shell
   • The gnome-shell-extension-tool or gnome-extensions CLI tools
   • The Extensions tab of GNOME Tweaks

Customize it!

After Dash-to-Panel is enabled, you may access a wide variety of configuration settings using on of the following methods:

• Right click an empty area of the panel, or the Show Apps/9-dot button, and select Dash-to-Panel Settings
• The gnome-shell-extension-prefs GUI tool shipped with GNOME Shell
• The Extensions tab of GNOME Tweaks
