How can I move the gnome dock to the left side?

  • 772

I installed the gnome panel: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/17/dock/

but its on the right side, which is quite annoying becaus it alway popps up when using the scrollbar. How can I move it to the left?

  1. Open a terminal and type:

    gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dock position left

    For 3.2 users, here is another way:

    Type in a terminal:

    gedit ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]/extension.js

    About line 44 find: 

    const DOCK_POSITION = PositionMode.RIGHT;

    change to 

    const DOCK_POSITION = PositionMode.LEFT;

    Save, exit, refresh gnome-shell (hit [Alt+F2] followed by r) and enjoy!

    1. Open dconf-editor
    2. Go to /org/gnome/shell/extensions/dock
    3. Toggle autohide and left/right position from there
