Avant Window Navigator vs Gnome Shell Dock

The other day I wrote up how I liked the Gnome Shell Dock but it still left a little to be desired. Additionally, I was missing the weather app and some other functionality. So I installed the Avant Window Navigator and the AWN Extras package.

AWN with some minor customization


I found that this dock gives a little more flexibility. I particularly like the Simple Switcher and the Weather Applet. The Simple Switcher gives me the ability to flip between workspaces with just my mouse, something that I found missing in the Dock.

How did you remove / disable the dock extension? I hate it, but can't figure out how to get rid of it.

I just uninstalled the package

yum remove gnome-shell-extensions-dock

You can manually remove them from here

~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions

or

/usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions
