  1. This is fixed with version 4. You should now update, preferably by using E.G.O. The problem is I set the icon size to be too big in stylesheet.css. If you'd like to modify it, you only need to change the height to 22, in both places. The new version 4 will be available on Github & E.G.O very soon, and fixes several problems.

    For everyone with the problem, press Alt+F2 and enter the following:

    gnomesu gedit .local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]/stylesheet.css

    Then, find and change the 'height' to a lesser value like 20/18/16/14 and then Ctrl+S to save, Alt+F2 and r to restart the shell.

    I found the issue myself. The "conflict" is happening when another extension named "Show Desktop Button" is active. Once i deactivated it, the icon size corrected itself...Weird!
