Easy Steps to Make GNOME 3 More Efficient
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
Few Linux desktops have brought about such controversy as GNOME 3. It’s been ridiculed, scorned, and hated since it was first released. Thing is, it’s actually a very good desktop. It’s solid, reliable, stable, elegant, simple... and with a few minor tweaks and additions, it can be made into one of the most efficient and user-friendly desktops on the market.
|
||||
|
||||
Of course, what makes for an efficient and/or user-friendly desktop? That is subject to opinion -- something everyone has. Ultimately, my goal is to help you gain faster access to the apps and the files you use. Simple. Believe it or not, stepping GNOME 3 up into the world of higher efficiency and user-friendliness is quite an easy task -- you just have to know where to look and what to do. I am here to point you in the right directions.
|
||||
|
||||
I decided to go about this process by first installing a clean [Ubuntu GNOME][1] distribution that included GNOME 3.12. With the GNOME-centric desktop ready to go, it’s time to start tweaking.
|
||||
|
||||
### Add window buttons ###
|
||||
|
||||
For some unknown reason, the developers of GNOME decided to shrug off the standard window buttons (Close, Minimize, Maximize) in favor of a single Close button. I get the lack of a Maximize button (since you can simply drag the window to the top of the screen to maximize) and you can also gain access to the minimize/maximize actions by right-clicking the titlebar and selecting either Minimize or Maximize. This behavior simply adds steps, so the lack of a minimize button is a bit confounding. Fortunately, there’s an easy fix for this. Here’s how:
|
||||
|
||||
By default, you should have the GNOME Tweak Tool installed. With this tool you can turn on either/or the Maximize or Minimize buttons (Figure 1).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Figure 1: Adding the minimize button back to the GNOME 3 windows.
|
||||
|
||||
Once added, you’ll see the Minimize button, to the left of the close button, ready to serve. Your windows are now more easy to manage.
|
||||
|
||||
From the same tweak tool, you can configure a number of other helpful aspects of GNOME:
|
||||
|
||||
- Set window focus mode
|
||||
- Set system fonts
|
||||
- Set the GNOME theme
|
||||
- Add startup applications
|
||||
- Add extensions.
|
||||
|
||||
### Add extensions ###
|
||||
|
||||
One of the best features of GNOME 3 are shell extensions. These extensions bring all sorts of handy features to GNOME. With shell extensions, there’s no need to install from the package manager, you either visit the [GNOME Shell Extension][2] site, search for the extension you want to add, click on the extension listing, click the On button, and then okay the installation of the extension or you add them from within the GNOME Tweak Tool (you’ll find more available extensions through the web site).
|
||||
|
||||
NOTE: You may have to allow the installation of extensions through your browser. If this is the case, you’ll be given a warning when you first visit the GNOME Shell Extension site. Just click Allow when prompted.
|
||||
|
||||
One of the more impressive (and handy extensions) is [Dash to Dock][3]. This extension moves the Dash out of the application overview and turns it into a fairly standard dock (Figure 2).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Figure 2: Dash to Dock adds a dock to GNOME 3.
|
||||
|
||||
As you add applications to the Dash, they will also be added to the Dash to Dock. You also get quick access to the applications overview, by clicking the 6-dotted icon at the bottom of the Dock.
|
||||
|
||||
There are plenty of other extensions focused on making GNOME 3 a more efficient desktop. Some of the better extensions include:
|
||||
|
||||
- [Recent items][4]: Add a drop-down menu of recently used items to your panel.
|
||||
- [Search Firefox Bookmarks Provider][5]: Search (and launch) your bookmarks from the Overview.
|
||||
- [Quicklists][6]: Add a quicklist popup menu to Dash icons (which allows you to quickly open new documents associated with the application, and more).
|
||||
- [Todo List][7]: Adds a drop-down in the panel that allows you to add items lists.
|
||||
- [Web Search Dialog][8]: Allows you to quickly search the web by hitting Ctrl+Space and entering a string of text (results appear in a new browser tab).
|
||||
|
||||
### Add a complete dock ###
|
||||
|
||||
If the Dash to Dock is too limiting for you (say you want a notification area and more), one of my favorite docks is [Cairo Dock][9] (Figure 3). This amazing addition to GNOME 3 will go a long way to up the efficiency of the desktop. With it, you can add/remove applications, get quick access to shortcuts (folders such as Documents, Downloads, Music, and Videos), add applets (such as RSS reader, wi-fi indicator, netspeed, drop-to-share, and more). Cairo also allows themes and OpenGL hardware acceleration support.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
With Cairo Dock added to GNOME 3, your experience will be made exponentially better. Install this great dock from within your distribution’s package manager.
|
||||
|
||||
GNOME 3 doesn’t have to be seen as an inefficient, user UN-friendly, desktop. With just a tiny bit of tweaking, GNOME 3 can be made as powerful and user-friendly as any desktop available.

轻而易举提升GNOME 3效率
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
极少Linux桌面像GNOME 3一样饱受争议。自发布以来，它被奚落，被挖苦，还被痛恨。事情是，它实际上是一个很不错的桌面。它牢固、可靠、稳定、优雅、简洁……而且带有一些小的调整和附加的东西，它可以做成市面上最高效、最友好的桌面之一。
|
||||
|
||||
当然，什么才是高效而又/或者是用户友好的桌面呢？那取决于观念——每个人都有的东西。归根到底，我的目标是帮助你快速访问你要用到的应用和文件。简单吧。不管你信不信，将GNOME 3一步一步变成更为高效而又用户友好的世界是一项十分容易的任务——你只需要知道哪里去查看以及做些什么即可。在这里，我会引领你去往正确的方向。
|
||||
|
||||
我决定从这里开始着手这个事情，首先安装一个干净的[Ubuntu GNOME][1]发行版开始，该安装包含有一个GNOME 3.12桌面。在以GNOME为中心的桌面准备好后，就该开始对它进行微调了。
|
||||
|
||||
### 添加窗口按钮 ###
|
||||
|
||||
处于一些未知的原因，GNOME的开发者们决定对标准的窗口按钮（关闭，最小化，最大化）不屑一顾，而支持只有单个关闭按钮的窗口了。我缺少了最大化按钮（虽然你可以简单地拖动窗口到屏幕顶部来将它最大化），然而也可以通过在标题栏右击选择最小化或者最大化来进行最小化/最大化操作。这种变化仅仅增加了操作步骤，因此缺少最小化按钮实在搞得人云里雾里。所幸的是，有个简单的修复工具可以解决这个问题，下面说说怎样做吧：
|
||||
|
||||
默认情况下，你应该安装了GNOME优化工具。通过该工具，你可以打开最大化或最小化按钮（图1）。
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Figure 1: 添加回最小化按钮到GNOME 3窗口
|
||||
|
||||
添加完后，你就可以看到最小化按钮了，它在关闭按钮的左边，等着为你服务呢。你的窗口现在管理起来更方便了。
|
||||
|
||||
同样在这个优化工具中，你也可以对GNOME进行大量其它有帮助的配置：
|
||||
|
||||
- 设置窗口聚焦模式
|
||||
- 设置系统字体
|
||||
- 设置GNOME主题
|
||||
- 添加启动应用
|
||||
- 添加扩展
|
||||
|
||||
### 添加扩展 ###
|
||||
|
||||
GNOME 3的最佳特性之一，就是shell扩展，这些扩展为GNOME带来了全部种类的有用的特性。关于shell扩展，没必要从包管理器去安装。你可以访问[GNOME Shell扩展][2]站点，搜索你想要添加的扩展，点击扩展列表，点击打开按钮，然后扩展就安装完成了；或者你也可以从GNOME优化工具中添加它们（你在网站上会找到更多可用的扩展）。
|
||||
|
||||
注：你可能需要在浏览器中允许扩展安装。如果出现这样的情况，你会在第一次访问GNOME Shell扩展站点时见到警告信息。当出现提示时，只要点击允许即可。
|
||||
|
||||
令人印象更为深刻的（而又得心应手的扩展）之一，就是[Dash to Dock][3]。
|
||||
该扩展将Dash移出应用程序概览，并将它转变为相当标准的停靠栏（图2）。
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Figure 2: Dash to Dock添加一个停靠栏到GNOME 3.
|
||||
|
||||
当你添加应用程序到Dash后，他们也将被添加到Dash to Dock。你也可以通过点击Dock底部的6点图标访问应用程序概览。
|
||||
|
||||
还有大量其它扩展聚焦于讲GNOME 3打造成一个更为高效的桌面，在这些更好的扩展中，包括以下这些：
|
||||
|
||||
- [最近项目][4]: 添加一个最近使用项目的下拉菜单到面板。
|
||||
- [搜索Firefox书签提供者][5]: 从概览搜索（并启动）书签。
|
||||
- [跳转列表][6]: 添加一个跳转列表弹出菜单到Dash图标（该扩展可以让你快速打开和程序关联的新文档，甚至更多）
|
||||
- [待办列表][7]: 添加一个下拉列表到面板，它允许你添加项目到该列表。
|
||||
- [网页搜索对话框][8]: 允许你通过敲击Ctrl+空格来快速搜索网页并输入一个文本字符串（结果在新的浏览器标签页中显示）。
|
||||
|
||||
### 添加一个完整停靠栏 ###
|
||||
|
||||
如果Dash to dock对于而言功能还是太有限（你想要通知区域，甚至更多），那么向你推荐我最喜爱的停靠栏之一[Cairo Dock][9]（图3）。
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Figure 3: Cairo Dock待命
|
||||
|
||||
在Cairo Dock添加到GNOME 3后，你的体验将成倍地增长。从你的发行版的包管理器中安装这个优秀的停靠栏吧。
|
||||
|
||||
不必将GNOME 3看作是一个效率不高的，用户不友好的桌面。只要稍作调整，GNOME 3可以成为和其它可用的桌面一样强大而用户友好的桌面。
