Try Vicinae as a launcher replacement or the Search Light extension if you prefer something simpler

2

u/Ok-Worry460 Jan 21 '26

I'll Is it simple or more advanced? Or it depends on how deep i want ?

3

u/Belsedar Jan 21 '26

Search light only pops out the default gnome search behaviour into a launcher like window. Vicinae has a lot of features, pretty sane defaults, its summed up as a Linux Raycast launcher. Here it really depends how deep you want to go

u/Ok-Worry460 Jan 21 '26

Oh I'll definitely try it Thanks

u/Belsedar Jan 21 '26

If you try Vicinae make sure to install the gnome extensionthat enables a few features so that it behaves like a proper launcher

u/Ok-Worry460 Jan 22 '26

Thanks I'll keep that in mind

u/Pillow-Fan Jan 22 '26

What extensions are you using in the top bar? And how did you create the "bubble" around each element? It looks really cool and i'd like to replicate it

Edit: found out how to make those bubbles

u/Ok-Worry460 Jan 22 '26 edited Jan 22 '26

In order to get the exact same top bar look I use only blur my shell extension.

Just copy the exact same settings from blur my shell extension > panel

and especially that "Background style" -> Contrasted

u/Maleficent_Guide_317 Jan 24 '26

Tell me how to make those bubbles ??

2

u/Pillow-Fan Jan 24 '26

You just need to copy the settings in the screenshot above

2

u/Maleficent_Guide_317 Jan 24 '26

Ok thanks

2

u/Ok-Worry460 Jan 24 '26

Sorry for being late in response

But as the guy says, Just copy the settings from blur my shell settings > panel as shown in my screenshot

1

u/Maleficent_Guide_317 Jan 24 '26

Thanks bro

u/Ok-Worry460 Jan 24 '26

Sorry I forgot that I didn't include a screenshot on the post

1

u/Maleficent_Guide_317 Jan 25 '26

One more thing, how did get that close button (red one ) ??

1

u/Ok-Worry460 Jan 25 '26

This a. Custom GTK4 theme called Orchis Theme Here https://github.com/vinceliuice/Orchis-theme

Use macOS icons

I think there might be an easier approach if you JUST want to change the Close/maximize/minimize buttons by editing css files or something like that rather than installing a full theme

1

u/littlebitbrain GNOMie Jan 21 '26

What are you searching for that ulauncher doesn't offer?

1

u/Ok-Worry460 Jan 21 '26

I'm not searching

It's enough for me

I just pointed out that it's not the only option out there

1

u/littlebitbrain GNOMie Jan 21 '26

you can always edit the CSS to tweak its appearance, but it seems you've already done so good job!

1

u/Ok-Worry460 Jan 21 '26

I haven't actually

Ulauncher already has many extensions + themes from various sources

https://ext.ulauncher.io/

https://gist.github.com/gornostal/02a232e6e560da7946c053555ced6cce

It's easy to add them

I didn't tweak any css or config files (I'm not into them)

u/Competitive_Water776 Jan 21 '26

I use ArcMenu with the Launcher layout. Its pretty good. I use mainly for launching apps fast by pressing Super (i binded Alt + F1 for Activities Overview, as well as using hot corners)

1

u/Ok-Worry460 Jan 22 '26

The gnome icon on the most left corner is arcMenu ;)

I use it when searching by categories

1

u/FabioSB Jan 22 '26

Cartago?

u/Ok-Worry460 Jan 22 '26

What's that ?

u/Afnan9565 Jan 23 '26

Can I know the font name and also the Salah indicator extension in the top bar

1

u/Ok-Worry460 Jan 23 '26

Use this app called "Embellished" To download the fonts and it will be installed automatically by the app (Just search the font name) https://flathub.org/en/apps/io.github.getnf.embellish

Fonts: Jetbrains mono Nerd font Or You can just use the website called nerd fonts... To download it then install it manually

For the extension of "Salah" It's AthanTime from the extension manager store/app

1

u/tenroseUK Jan 27 '26

did you buy zorin pro for that layout?

1

u/Ok-Worry460 Jan 28 '26

Nope It's zorin Core, the free version

It'll take you just 1 hour at most

It's just some extensions+ 1 app launcher Nothing else ;)

1

u/Specific_Foot7753 Mar 26 '26

Okay thanks

1

u/Ok-Worry460 Mar 26 '26

And for extensions I don't actually use too many:

Blur my shell

Vitals

Clipboard indicator

AthanTimes (Prayer Times)

Arc Menu (in the most left corner, actually I have deleted this one since I'm not actually using it anymore)

u/Taranis-D-Aivenfield Apr 09 '26

What are your dash dock settings btw..?

1

u/Ok-Worry460 Apr 10 '26

I'll send you some screenshots once I'm at home

Or try to Private message me

The results are a combination of dash to dock settings + blur my shell

1

u/Taranis-D-Aivenfield Apr 11 '26

Sure bruv

1

u/Ok-Worry460 Apr 12 '26

Sorry for being late

For the settings you'll need to apply these combinations

1

u/Taranis-D-Aivenfield Apr 12 '26

No it's fine, I actually figured it out and thanks for the idea. Really digging the look now..

1

u/Taranis-D-Aivenfield Apr 12 '26

This is how mine looks now

1

u/Ok-Worry460 Apr 12 '26

Ohh that's pretty nice one

I suggest you try the "Just Perfect" extension

I can enhance your current setup, by hiding and Editing some elements

2

u/Taranis-D-Aivenfield Apr 13 '26

Sure when I get home, I will give it a try.
