* Package name : gnome-shell-frippery Version : 0.3.1 Upstream Author : R M Yorston <r...@tigress.co.uk> * URL : http://intgat.tigress.co.uk/rmy/extensions/index.html * License : GPL-2+ Programming Lang: Javascript (GJS) Description : Frippery GNOME Shell extensions The tarball includes several GNOME Shell extensions: * Move the clock: Move the clock from the centre of the panel towards the right. This isn't a very significant change, but it was the first extension I wrote. * Favourites in panel: Place a launcher for each favourite application in the panel. It isn't possible to manage the list from the panel: instead you can add, remove or move favourite applications in the dash and the panel display will update to match. * Applications menu in panel: Replace the Activities button in the panel with an Applications menu. The menu is implemented using facilities supplied by the shell so it doesn't behave exactly like a normal menu. * Static workspaces: The GNOME 3 shell attempts to maintain just one empty workspace. New workspaces are created on demand and when the last application in a workspace is closed that workspace is removed. This extension disables that behaviour. * Shut Down menu: Replace the Suspend item in the status menu with Shut Down. The dialog that this invokes includes all available shutdown options: suspend, hibernate, restart and power off. * Bottom panel: Add a bottom panel, including a window list, workspace switcher and message tray button. Because the workspace switcher is arranged horizontally the keybindings for changing workspace have been altered to ctrl-alt-left/right. The message tray button shows and hides the message tray, as the hot corner is hidden by the panel. If no messages are available the button is blank. Right clicking on the workspace switcher invokes a dialog to set the number of workspaces. The extension that I find interesting is the bottom panel extension, since I found that some old GNOME users are missing it in the GNOME shell. Probably not all extensions in this tarball need to be packaged (especially, that there are other packages that already provide same functionaly, probably in a better manner) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
