Dash-to-panel: It does not work after GNOME Shell 40.0

[erickwill]

Things to do first

• Confirm that the problem persists when Dash-to-Panel is the only enabled extension. To do so, disable every other extension, then restart gnome-shell by running the r command from the prompt that appears when pressing Alt+F2 on an X.org session, or by logging out/in on a Wayland session.
• Look for Dash-to-Panel errors in your log. To do so, run the journalctl /usr/bin/gnome-shell -f -o cat & command and reproduce the problem.
• Search existing opened and closed issues to see if the problem has already been reported.

Describe the bug
After upgrade to GNOME Shell 40.0 it gives a message into gnome shell extension: "OUTDATED" and does not work.

Linux distribution and version

GNOME Shell version

Additional Info

There's already two other issues reporting this.

1265

1297

There's a experimental fork which works with Gnome 40. Check comments in: #1265

[erickwill]

Thanks, the experimental did the trick. I wonder if Show Applications Button is working for you.

I'm using Arc launcher for Gnome 40. Perhaps give that a go.

I've created PKGBUILD for ArchLinux
https://gist.github.com/korvinko/7138925d71ce89d822e20998e1c63e42

[archont00]

As an alternative, there is already a PKGBUILD in AUR, you just need to download it and change the url of GitHub:

trizen -G gnome-shell-extension-dash-to-panel-git
cd gnome-shell-extension-dash-to-panel-git
# Now edit the PKGBUILD and update the following line to read:
# _githubowner=philippun1
# Then build and install
makepkg -s
trizen -U gnome-shell-extension-dash-to-panel*.pkg.tar.xz

@philippun1 In philippun1's fork version, "override panel theme background color" doesn't work!!!!! The color always becomes black from the override color.

At least it works. Anything's better than default Gnome.

@archont00 I tried the PKGBUILD and modified the _github_owner field and then rebuild everything, however the extension is still blocked in gnome 40. Why ?

[AlexGluck]

Install fork, found a bug when scroll on panel volume doesn't change.

@promach This seems to be an older version of the branch, because there is no more shadow_type in the ui file.
@AlexGluck If you scroll directly over the volume icon it should work.

Dear @philippun1 I'm currently using your fork beautifully, but yesterday the main git source was updated probably with a version higher than your branch what resulted in unwanted updates from the official branch which is still broke. Can you increase, probably, the version number in order that extension manager ignore the official branch version preventing the undesired update? Thanks!

[AlexGluck]

@philippun1 Yep, thx on volume icon scroll work. But i thinked scroll will be work on panel.
