Use GTK4 port of Desktop Icons NG Extension in Ubuntu 22.04 | 22.10
As you may know, icons on Ubuntu desktop is handled by an extension called “Desktop Icons NG”. While GNOME has been moving to GTK4, the extension so far still uses GTK3 toolkit to implement all the functions.
A GTK4 port of this extension now is in development, with all previous functions, bug-fixes, as well new features.
The new version works as another extension as it’s not been merged upstream. It comes with GSconnect integration, and features drag and drop app icons from Ubuntu Dock (Dash-to-Dock) to the desktop.
