How to Achieve a Transparent Dock in Pop!_OS 22.04 COSMIC

If you've recently upgraded to Pop!_OS 22.04, you may have noticed that the dock interface now appears as a solid black bar. While some users appreciate the sleek and minimalist design, others might miss the prior option to customize the dock's appearance, particularly its transparency. In this guide, we'll walk you through a simple solution to achieve a transparent dock, allowing your desktop environment to exude a bit more flair.

Understanding the Problem

After the upgrade to Pop!_OS 22.04, many users found that their dock transitioned to an opaque black background with no easy way to restore its transparency through the settings menu. This abrupt change can be frustrating for those accustomed to a customizable interface, especially if you preferred a clear, airy look for your desktop.

The Solution: A Simple Terminal Command

Fortunately, there's an effective command that can help you restore the transparency of your dock. This method uses the terminal to alter the background opacity settings directly.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Open your Terminal
You can find the terminal in your applications or by using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Alt + T.

To adjust the transparency of your dock, type the following command in the terminal:

What does this command do?
It modifies the background-opacity setting of the dash-to-dock extension, where the number represents the degree of transparency.

Transparency Values

The value 0 means completely transparent.

The value 1 means completely opaque.

You can adjust the number between 0 and 1 to get your desired transparency level. For instance, 0.4 (like in the command above) will give you a semi-transparent dock that blends nicely with your background.

Experiment with Settings
Try different values to see what works best for your aesthetic preference. You might find that a setting of 0.5 or 0.6 suits your style better!

Final Touches

After you've set your preferred transparency, simply close the terminal and take a look at your updated dock. It should now display with the opacity level you specified, bringing a sleek newer design to your desktop environment.

Conclusion

Achieving a transparent dock in Pop!_OS 22.04 COSMIC is just a terminal command away! With a little adjustment through the gsettings command, you can restore or customize your dock's transparency to fit your visual preferences. Enjoy your newly designed desktop and embrace the flexibility of Pop!_OS.
