http://askubuntu.com – I have just upgrade gnome-shell 3.0 to 3.3.9 and surprised. Almost no gnome-shell extension are not supporting. I find few in the internet which support new gnome-shell. ?????????WHY???????? One of the most important condition of software developing(Engineering) is to support the previous version as much as possible. Why are gnome-shell developers doing this? What is the feature of the huge number of extension had already developed? (HowTos)

Gnome Shell Extension Empty 1 year 20 weeks ago

Here is the situation. Changed unity shell to gnome shell. Installed the gnome tweak tool, installed the shell extension, themes, etc...everything i normally need to do that is installed

When i go to gnome tweak tool, and click on shell extension, the right list is empty

I've surfed the web and questions for answer.

Gnome 3.2 was released a few days back. With an improved shell and various other integrations, this shell will please many users.

On a fresh ubuntu install (12.04, x86_64). After gnome-shell installation, I've tried to install some extensions from extensions.gnome.org but got no result. I've tried with Firefox and Chromium and got the same issue.

1- open any extension page on extensions.gnome.org

2- switch extension to "ON".

I upgrade from 10.04 to 12.04, install gnome 3 and remove unity. My gnome version is 3.4.1. The GNOME Shell extensions is installed and enabled. When I use firefox to visit each extension page in https://extensions.gnome.org/, for example, https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/5/alternative-status-menu/, there is no where to install the extensions.

Are there any tricks for speeding up Gnome Shell, such as by disabling any extra "flashy" features?

I tried installing the Disable Window Animations Extension, but I haven't noticed any difference.

I've been using Gnome Shell under Ubuntu 11.10 for a few weeks now, and I generally like the new interface (and much prefer it over Unity).

A new modified version of the Gnome Shell dock extension has been made by xeXpanderx that sets the dock to bottom by default.

The original dock extension by gcampax can only be set to left or right edges of the screen.

Download Modified Dock Extension

Install the extension by locating the zip file in Gnome Tweak Tool.
