v23 (v19 - v22)

Added:

• Overview modes Expose Windows on Hover and Static Workspace
• Option Always Show Window Titles
• Option Dash Background Radius
• Option Animation Speed

Fixed:

• Startup animation can still freeze Shell in certain configuration. Injection replaced by complete override of the startupAnimation() function.
• Workaround for upstream bug - stuttering first animation of App Grid with many icons.

Other changes:

• Preferences split into more sections for better readability.

v17, v18

Added:

• Separate scales for blur amount in overview window picker and app grid / search results.
• Option Smooth Blur Transitions allows to disable smooth blur transitions on slower hw.

• Link to changelog on About page.

Fixed:

Other changes:

• Next/Prev page indicators in GS43 are hard to switch from horizontal orientation to vertical, so for now I added style that makes them look more like vertical arrows indicating direction to the prev/next page.

Changes:

Added:

• Horizontal 3 finger gesture automatically changes its direction depending on the workspace thumbnails position to match direction of the transition animation.
• Vertically oriented Dash items can be selected and activated even with the pointer at the edge of the screen.
• Option Startup State allows to change GNOME Shell's startup state from Overview to Desktop.
• Option Always Show Search Entry now allows showing the search entry even if the search is not active.

Fixed

• 3 finger gestures not having proper orientation when used for the first time after enabling the extension.
• Dash overlapping workspace during transition between normal view and overview when using a 3 finger gesture.
• Dash icons can get out of border when dash size reach its maximum.
• Smaller workspace preview size if DtD set to auto-hide.
• Dash startup animation doesn't respect Dash position, workspace thumbnails don't animate at all.
