Hello

1. Is there an extensions center available for Deepin Desktop Environment, similar to the ( Gnome extensions ) website for Gnome Desktop Environment ?

2. I need to install net speed meter app in the DDE Dock similar to the internet speed meter available in Gnome, this extension I used to use it in Ubuntu:

https://extensions.gnome.org/extensi...t-speed-meter/

I am newbie in Deepin

I don't know of a repo/software center to DDE dock add-ons, but the Deepin forum has community-provided options if you search. The magic word seems to be "plugin" or "plugins"

There are 2 net speed dock plugins I found on github that may interest you:

If you want to make your own, or edit a dockapp from Gnome (or any desktop environment), look for dockapps written for QT5 (not QT4, or anything else). It may be as simple as a few edits to port a dockapp from another desktop/dock to DDE.
