Gnome shell 3.2 setups

[cbowman57]

Gnome shell theme Pantheon . Removed Elementary branding by replacing logo.png, logo.svg & overview.jpg

Very well done G-S theme, I particularly like the way the author tightened up the icon spacing on the panel.

How to move the applications menu from the Frippery collection from left side of panel to the right side. The screenshot contains the metadata.json so you can verify you are using the same extension.

In the extension.js (located either in the /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/apps-menu@gnome-shell-extensions.gnome.org or ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/apps-menu@gnome-shell-extensions.gnome.org folder depending on whether you installed it globally or per user) change

let appsMenuButton;

function enable() {
    appsMenuButton = new ApplicationsButton();
    Main.panel._leftBox.insert_actor(appsMenuButton.actor, 1);
    Main.panel._leftBox.child_set(appsMenuButton.actor, { y_fill : true } );

to this:

let appsMenuButton;

function enable() {
    appsMenuButton = new ApplicationsButton();
    Main.panel._rightBox.insert_actor(appsMenuButton.actor, 1);
    Main.panel._rightBox.child_set(appsMenuButton.actor, { y_fill : true } );

Look in the vicinity of line 100-102, the key is to change leftBox to rightBox in just those 2 places.

The result looks like this & compliments the places or extended-places extension.

Still trying to figure out how to size icons displayed with icontopbar extension.

As promised, Mr. Murphy has started updating his extensions, so far only the noripple extension is on his website. http://www.fpmurphy.com/gnome-shell-extensions/

Not Gnome shell specific but these are some handy wallpapers if you are trying to get more familiar with using linux from the commandline.

Ok, apparently I killed the thread, so in an attempt to revive it I revised the thread guidelines.

Feel free to display your desktops.

Just read on WebUpd8 that Pinguy is going to use a highly customised GS setup: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/10/pingu...l-edition.html

Btw, good wall. Shared with some Linux friends on G+.

Thanks, hope it gets some use. I need to check out G+ myself.

Yeah, looks like the direction Linux Mint is going in too.

I've been playing with mine a bit, mostly just tweaking the GTK3 theme, and posted in the screenshots thread. I installed the global menu extension, but it's not very useful, since it's a lot of clicks to dig down to whatever you're looking for. I do like the dock extension, particularly in that it matches itself to the Shell theme.

I'm having ridiculous stability problems and finding all of my favorite Gnome features broken. I like Shell in concept, but some things are going to have to happen before I could consider using it for actual work.

The shell has been real stable for me, I've been using it exclusively for almost 6 months.
