Change setting of Dash To Dock using terminal












1















I want to change one setting of Dash to Dock extension of GNOME shell using the terminal as I want to automate that which I can later use in my app.
In the GUI version it is under "Position and Size" tab and then 'Panel Mode : extend to the screen edge'.

          To get the current value, run



          gsettings get org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock extend-height


          To change it, run



          gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock extend-height <OPTION>


          or



          dconf write /org/gnome/shell/extensions/dash-to-dock/extend-height <OPTION>


          In place of <OPTION> you can have true for panel mode and false for dock mode.

          • It shouldn't, there's something wrong with your installation. I think that's why gsettings is not working.

          • @HarshKhatri Maybe you should ask a new question for that issue. If you do please provide details like your OS version, GNOME shell version, how you installed Dash to Dock etc. Hopefully someone will be able to help.
