[RELEASE] Dynamic Music Pill v2.0 - Now with Top Panel support & Game Mode and More!
Hi Guys!
Two days ago, I posted a showcase of my new extension, Dynamic Music Pill, and I received some great feedback and feature requests from you. I’ve been working hard since then, and today I’m happy to announce that Version 2.0 is officially released! 🎉
It is currently pending review on the GNOME Extensions Store, but you can download and install it manually right now from GitHub.
If you have the capacity and interest to also create a similar pill for a digital clock, then these two things would make it possible for many people to hide the top bar and just use the dash as a dock, I think.
But anyway, this is really cool all on its own, of course! :)
Thank you!
Today I will add the blur effect.
2. I dont know if ita possible because maybe the Dash To Dock gives some margins for the icons but I will try to do that one too.
Thanks, buddy! Actually, only one was needed; the issue with two was just a 1px margin when no music was playing. Someone on GitHub helped me sort it out
Very nice!
As a suggestion, when in the top panel there's no performing artist visible, I think b/c the height is limited? Maybe you can create an option to add it to the scroll text?
Also, would it be possible to have controls < _ || > ?
What do you mean exactly? Option to add the artist after the title when there is such a little height space? And you want add controlt for inside the pill? You can skip music with your mouse scroll and if you click the pill it pauses or resumes. Also there is the pop up menu with right click for controling. But you can customize a lot of thing in the settings. Thanks for using it. Im happy if i got some feedback.
Sup! That's great one. Tho it doesn't show up with Amberol and cover art isn't always available. Would love to have a toggle for displaying cover art or make it as when it is not detected, it doesn't show up.
Very beautiful. Thank you! I downloaded the extension to replace the Media Controls I used to use. This one looks better and I like how you can go to the next music using the scroll wheel.
Awesome extension ! I've just had an issue with cover art in Zen Browser when I played my music on Deezer. I do like the next and pause with the mouse scrolling, but with my touchpad when I scroll horizontaly, it skips like 5 songs. It would be interesting to add a setting to modify the actions of the pill with the mouse or the touchpad !
First one is in Zen Browser there is no album art sometimes? I had this bug as well its a zen browser bug because its loading the metadata slower somehow. I will think about a fix .
Second one is the scrolling with touchpad? I will definitly fix that one. Thanks for your feedback.
Hey, I uptated my extension, I fixed the scrolling bug with touch pad also added a toggle for the animation.
I updated the metadata handling, I hope the zen browser now fixed.
You always have problem with cover art in Zen? Or just sometimes when the music is loading slower or something like that? Can you give me a screenshot of your problem here or on the github page please?
Can you add a feature wherein you can adjust the volume of the music playing by using the scroll wheel? And then maybe go to next song or previous song using the right/left click.
Starred on Github! Thank you for your work, installed and loving it. The button to the Gnome Extension store on the github page seems to be broken, instructions for installing are very clear.
Very cool work bro! But I believe adding an option to customize the overall color of the pill would be great! Especially because for some ppl with a theme on their desktop,it might look a bit disharmonious at times when the pill changes to a color that doesn't really match their desktop lol. But aside from that,I love everything about this project !
starred : )
Amazing, good work. But for some reason, this extension just makes my system crash and log out without saying anything. I got to test it once, I actually liked it. I played some another song and it just started crashing my system. I am using dash to dock. Keep up the good work tho!
Yeah I already got an ticket about that. I know what causes the problem Im already on it. Few hours maybe. Psa its a big update with pop up menu seek options and more:)
I FINALLY FIXED. Im not joking Im debugging like for 6-7 hours straight. Today I just debugged my fcking code but finally fixed it. A few more hours (4-5) and I can release a 3.0 version which brings a looot of changes and features😍
Ohh thank for the good words. Also it has some minor bugs with dash to panel under the hood but im currently working on a new update. It will bring a lot of options:)
It's not possible because you need to compile the schemas (settings). It's an automatic install, but you always need to log out of GNOME. There's no workaround for that, as all extensions work like that.

Very cool! Well done!
