Ubuntu 20 - Launcher / Dock in Center - Auto Hide - Appear on Hover

To enable Launcher / Dock as we know to have the following effects

  • Appear on Hover i.e. Auto Hide
  • Icons in center
Do as follows...

First we need to enable the following options in Settings -> Appearance


Even after this my launcher / dock icons were shifting to the left




After this, the dock will now hide and appear when you hover your cursor on the bottom area. However, that gets irritating quickly, if you tend to have work at the bottom of the screen and the bar keeps popping up. Well, one could just stop 'Auto Hide' of the bar, and that would solve it. But... where's the beauty in it ;) !

Now, to unleash the beauty to the fullest! , we want to center the icons as well!

To get them to the center, we need to do the following from the terminal

gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock extend-height false


And, there it is <3 !
