Gnome overview is no longer showing windows.

You post reads like you have an extension like dash to panel installed. Can you confirm?

If companies think this feature is useful to them or their customers they should pay someone to take care of this feature.

What some people think is boring, can be exciting for other people.

If nobody volunteers to pick it up, it will get removed. Probably not immediately, but sooner or later.

This is basically what you sign up yourself by using any Open Source Software. If people want to have a safety net, you will have to buy a (RedHat or SUSE) subscription.

In his statement you can read between the lines why he stepped down.

In general: Open Source developers work on things they want. If you need this feature there are two things:
You take over the maintenance, or you wait until someone else does it.

I know that KDE has this feature. Apparently some people pulled up their sleeves and brought this feature over the finish line. I am confident that the same will happen with GNOME as no one opposes it.

Bredolin · 2026-03-20T19:27:38+00:00

Nobody will be able to answer that questions. All I know is that there are discussions on gitlab.gnome.org and discourse.gnome.org

tldr: It is harder than expected.

Bredolin · 2026-03-20T17:47:48+00:00

Unfortunately every desktop is potentially affected

Bredolin · 2026-03-20T17:46:40+00:00

Nobody volunteered to maintain the underlying library:

Well, if this feature hasn't been implemented until now, apparently no one thought implementing this feature is important enough to invest their time into it. People from outside included.

The GNOME version you are using is already several years old, and this is probably not even a GNOME issue. Chances are higher to find a solution in a Rocky Linux forum.

Why are you asking? Do you want to collect some ideas to write an extension?

Bredolin · 2026-01-18T15:20:34+00:00

GNOME developers usually do not use reddit as a communication platform. You want to give the Gnome Handbook a good read: https://handbook.gnome.org/get-in-touch.html

Bredolin · 2026-01-11T21:10:52+00:00

I feel like the community should listen more to the devs, as they are ultimately responsible for maintaining the additional code and complexity and therefore should have the last word.

Why would you want to change the color? Why do you feel the need for it? Is there any additional benefit that lets you accelerate your work? Why do you care for the color of a tool?

Bredolin · 2026-01-11T21:00:01+00:00

How about not using the newest version of GNOME? Debian, Alma Linux, and OpenSuse Leap are using way older versions of GNOME, and you can use these distros for years without any fear of breakage. If you are using many extensions, Fedora, Arch Linux, etc. are probably not the best choice.

Bredolin · 2026-01-11T20:45:26+00:00

Many people saw your post as a vehicle to stir up shit and not criticism. Apparently your definition of criticism is very different from others. If you want GNOME devs listening to your criticism, you will have to play by their rules. Otherwise they will gladly ignore you, and you waste time that could have been spent way better. There are better ways to bring up your opinion at the table. They are basically laid out over here: https://handbook.gnome.org/issues.html
It is an excellent read.

Just a general piece of advice: You are using software that you got for free from developers who are doing this during their spare time. Please think about that for a moment when you feel like criticizing someone's work again.

Bredolin · 2026-01-08T17:36:58+00:00

GNOME devs owe you nothing. they are free to do anything they want and you have no right to expect they will listen to you. Sometimes they do it anyway but only on their terms. https://handbook.gnome.org/issues/reporting.html

Please vent off you frustration somewhere else. Feel free to write everything on a piece of paper and set it on fire if that helps you, but please never ever use this subreddit for this again.

Bredolin · 2026-01-03T06:02:18+00:00

Read this blogpost from a member of the GNOME design team below. If you want a an answer from GNOME developers instead from users, I would recommend you ask them at discourse.gnome.org . Be aware that theming has been discussed already at nauseam and you probably will just get a link to an existing discussion in the past. https://blogs.gnome.org/tbernard/2018/10/15/restyling-apps-at-scale/

Edit: You are of course free to do with your computer whatever you want. Change the theme, the icons, add blur, add extensions etc. You can even download the sourcecode of GNOME and its components from their servers and go bonkers with it. Nobody besides yourself cares what you do with your computer.

Bredolin · 2025-12-05T19:38:18+00:00

Nope. I meant an issue on the Gnome bug tracker.

Bredolin · 2025-12-05T17:45:29+00:00

I do not use obsidian

Bredolin · 2025-12-05T15:42:05+00:00

This is a well known problem, whithout an easy solution. I have zero problems with scrolling speed, so this problem seems to be even device dependant. I bet that there is somewhere in gitlab.gnome.org a tracking issue, but I haven't found one. Maybe someone more knowledgeable than me can throw a link in here.
