GNOME users what Extensions do you use?
GNOME users what Extensions do you use?
I use the following:
- AppIndicator/KStatusNotifierItem support(Most apps rely on trays so this is useful)
- Clipboard Indicator(I wish Gnome natively had this but its fine Cinnamon doesnt to)
- Desktop Logo
- Gtile(I want a tiling window manager like thing for Gnome i heard its faster)
- Quick Settings Audio Panel
- GSConnect (Looks better,Integrates better with GNOME)
- Alphabetical App Grid
- Arch LINUX Updater
- Removable Drive Menu
i created this cause i wonder who uses Gnome on the Fediverse without plugins and maybe Gnome Tweaks and i may find some useful extensions here
Also Cinnamon users may count aswell but idk this is primary focused on GNOME
i also like my GNOME almost stock
Just cosmetic : wobbly windows & spinning cube
Shows my age I guess
I just go in raw dog.
i have two sides:
- Niri with a bunch of startup scripts and hacks and messy config files
- completely stock Gnome
- Appindicator
- GSConnect
- Bluetooth Battery Meter
I've been using a few more in the last years, but I decided to slim it down recently.
- Freon
- System-Monitor-Next
- GTile
- Caffeine
- Alphabetical App Grid
- Hide Activities Button
- App indicator
Used to but currently incompatible:
- Workspace wrap around
- NoAnnoyance v2
thanks for Alphabetical App Grid that was one of my annoyance of GNOME
I use
- Vitals
- blur my shell
Blur my shell is make gnome look pretty good IMO.
ngl i maybe will use blurmyshell am not sure
- Awesome Tiles because I find it simpler than other tiling managers
- Caffeine to keep my laptop awake when I need it
- Clipboard Indicator for easy clipboard history access
For anything else I'm fine with Gnome's basic workflow
None
Ditto
I use ConnectionManager as a cute part of my "work flow". Sadly this hasn't been maintained very well by the original maintainer, but others have picked up the project and are keeping it patched to keep running. https://github.com/sciancio/connectionmanager2
I like 'Removable Drive Menu': a status menu for accessing and unmounting removable devices.
https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/7/removable-drive-menu/
- AppIndicator and Kstatusnotifieritem Support
- Auto move Windows
- Maximized By Default Reborn (doesn’t work on some of my apps which open at the start of every session)
- Tiling Assistant
I love Gnome stock but I really think these should be there by default.
I’ve also learned to wait a few months after each new version of Fedora as the extensions always need time to become compatible.
Sometimes I’m intrigued by how much I could recreate what I love in Gnome in KDE.
I agree with application tray not being in GNOME
One of my favourites that I haven't seen mentioned is the Todo.txt extension.
It adds a todo list in the tray synced to a couple of files (that I store in Nextcloud). I add things I need to do to the list, and I also play with the settings so it colours by priority and sorts by priority.
I also use the ntodotxt app on my phone to sync items. The app is fine but I really like the gnome extension, very handy.

KDE Plasma user of 4 years here, I am currently giving GNOME a try with Fedora Workstation. Reading through here, I'm going to try a few new extensions, thanks a lot :)
My currently used extensions are:
- AATWS (advanced alt-tab window switcher)
- Clipboard Indicator
- Vitals (system resource usage)
- AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support
- Caffeine
- Launch New Instance
- No overview at start-up
- Places Status Indicator
- Workspace Indicator
There's a feature I'm really missing though. On KDE Plasma 5 the clipboard manager opened a window right below your mouse on pressing Super+V. This window showed all the clipboard entries, was text-searchable and I could navigate and use/enter clipboard entries with my keyboard. Does anybody know of something like this for GNOME?
Pano perhaps? It doesn't show up at the cursor but you can search in it, the keyboard works the way you would expect and it auto inserts on selection.
Thanks for your input, but it seems the Pano gnome extensions page hasn't been updated for ages. I'm running GNOME 48 and the extension page shows GNOME 45 as the latest supported version.
Doesn't matter, I realized Clipboard Indicator can be called by a key combination, it just won't float in the middle or below my mouse cursor. I guess without creating my own, I'm not gonna get it any better :)

Same i miss this from KDE but maybe copyq?? but i dont think gnome lets you map keys without extensions
I used to use Pano for that, but it's extension page hasn't been updated since GNOME 45, so I switched to Clipboard History instead. It's not quite as pretty (just a normal popup menu, no previews) but it is actually nicer to use, in my opinion.
Both options can be bound to
Super+V, that's exactly the key combo I use for it.Thanks to you I realized, Clipboard Indicator can do that too. So now I bound
Super+Vto show the clipboard, and I can search it with the keyboard, select entries, etc.
Dash to Dock is all I need to achieve perfect GNOME experience
Just one: Bing wallpaper
- Just Perfection
- Dash to Panel
- ArcMenu
- Blur My Shell
- Unblank Lock Screen
- Media Controls
- Bluetooth Battery Meter
- PiP On Top
I use ArcMenu and Dash to Panel
$ gsettings get org.gnome.shell enabled-extensions ['apps-menu@gnome-shell-extensions.gcampax.github.com', 'window-list@gnome-shell-extensions.gcampax.github.com', 'gtktitlebar@velitasali.github.io']I can't believe apps-menu and window-list are not the default behaviors. gtktitlebar is just so I can claw back a few precious pixels of vertical screen space.
