Use Gnome dash-to-dock without autohide

Solution 1:

If you want to see the dock at all times.. here is the workaround..

Don't turnoff the Auto-hide feature as you mentioned in the Question.

locate the dash-to-dock extension direcotry, it could be either in $HOME/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/ or /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/

open the file intellihide.js, in my case it is

$HOME/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]/intellihide.js

at line number 105 (this._isEnabled = true;) # Change the value to false

enable: function() {
    this._isEnabled = false;
    this._status = OverlapStatus.UNDEFINED;
    global.get_window_actors().forEach(function(wa) {
        this._addWindowSignals(wa);
    }, this);
    this._doCheckOverlap();
},

save the file & close.
refresh the gnome-shell with Alt+F2 type r and press Enter
