Need some help with this. Gnome-shell with Tweak problems

I followed a Ubutu tutorial to change the Gnome-shell appereance. Made it transparent and modified some things in Tweak. Everything works fine but when I try to rearrange windows in the Apps overview Gnome-shell crashes. I just right click and send it via right click menu en order this way.

So I’m using Tweak and Docky and Gneom-shell crashes when I try to visually arange windows in diffrent Desktop spaces.

Thank you for you time. BD

Hi
Can you provide a link to the tutorial to see what you have done?

I’m assuming your using 13.1?

Some additional tweaks can be done via the Activities Configurator
extension from https://extensions.gnome.org/

Yes I’m using 13.1. I remeber now that I also tried to use Compiz and it was a huge mess. I would preffer to make a small set of animations for Gnome-shell and forget about Compiz but that’s another story.

Sorry I was not here before but I had to go do some stuff today for next week. TY for your attention. BD

Hi
The tutorial doesn’t work for me (it is very fast?) But I see some changes to the gnome-shell css file? I would suggest rolling back your changes and seeing if things come back to normal.

What are you really wanting to tweak beyond the standard options?

Hi
Well compiz won’t work with gnome-shell so yes it would be a mess :wink: You might be better off trying KDE if your wanting animations…

I was just checking if it would work. Which packages does Gnome-shell need ? so I can strip down the compiz installation . I didn’t do everything like the tutorial but I searched for the equivalent locations of folders. The main thing is the color of Gnome shell and Icons.

Hi
If you browse http://gnome-look.org/ for themes and icons, add icons to
~/.icons and install the themes via the tweak-tool. You may need to
create a ~/.themes directory.

What does that solve ? ( Ok done! ) TY Remember I’m trying to solve the crashes. Should I file a Bug to Gnome ? Is there something in SUSE for “integrated” Bug reporting ?

Hi
If you start playing and modifying the underlying code, then there is
no point in filing a bug…

If it’s a standard install and your having issues, then yes it would be
good to file a bug;

Yep you’re right. So maybe I cold just head to the Gnome forum if there is one and ask there for help. Otherwise then the IRC at Freenode.

Hi
The GNOME Mailing List or their own IRC server, for #opensuse-gnome
this is on FreeNode.
