### Introduction
Dash to Panel is an icon taskbar for Gnome Shell. This extension moves the dash into the gnome main panel so that the application launchers and system tray are combined into a single panel, similar to that found in KDE Plasma and Windows 7+. A separate dock is no longer needed for easy access to running and favorited applications.
Beyond that, just about every aspect of the panel is fully customizable. From positioning and scaling panel elements to running indicators to multi-monitor display, to window previews and even intellihide, Dash to Panel has everything you need to make your workspace feel like home.

### Themes
While this extension works well with most popular Gnome Shell themes, the following themes are known to have explicitly added custom styles for this extension:
- [Ciliora Tertia](https://github.com/zagortenay333/ciliora-tertia-shell) / [Ciliora Secunda](https://github.com/zagortenay333/ciliora-secunda-shell)
- [Plano](https://github.com/lassekongo83/plano-theme)
##
### Compatibility
This extension has been tested with Gnome 3.18+.
This extension manipulates the Gnome Main Panel, aka Top Bar. So, most other extensions which operate on the top bar should be compatible.

### Volunteers needed!
This extension could be even better with your help! Any items in the issue tracker labelled `help wanted` or `good first issue` are up for grabs. For more info, see the [Contributing wiki page](https://github.com/home-sweet-gnome/dash-to-panel/wiki/Contributing).

### Credits
This extension is developed and maintained by [@jderose9](https://github.com/jderose9) and [@charlesg99](https://github.com/charlesg99).
Significant portions of code in this extension were derived from [Dash-to-Dock](https://micheleg.github.io/dash-to-dock/index.html).
Additional credits: This extension leverages the work for [ZorinOS Taskbar](https://github.com/ZorinOS/zorin-taskbar) (used in [ZorinOS](https://zorinos.com/)) to show window previews and allow the dash from [Dash-to-Dock](https://micheleg.github.io/dash-to-dock/index.html) to be embedded in the Gnome main panel.
Code to set anchor position taken from [Thoma5/gnome-shell-extension-bottompanel](https://github.com/Thoma5/gnome-shell-extension-bottompanel).
Pattern for moving panel contents based on [Frippery Move Clock](http://frippery.org/extensions/) by R M Yorston.
Ideas for recursing child actors and assigning inline styles are based on code from the extension [StatusAreaHorizontalSpacing](https://bitbucket.org/mathematicalcoffee/status-area-horizontal-spacing-gnome-shell-extension).
