List of addons/extensions for gnome-shell

  • 772

This list is now more or less superceded by https://extensions.gnome.org/ where extensions can be one click installed and configured.

There are several addons for gnome-shell. Please help me compile a list of existiong addons

I have answered my question by adding the extensions I know of as answers. Since there are many extensions each single answers is still a stub.

Here's a video of some of the extensions in action:

  6. I believe that this is the most exhaustive list: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/Extensions

    If you're feeling adventurous, you could always try to create your own. Useful guide here: http://blog.fpmurphy.com/2011/04/gnome-3-shell-extensions.html

  9. Still buggy but has to be mentioned: The Mint GNOME3 Shell Extensions (MGSE). It's actually many different plugins like a xrandr extension, a new bottom-panel, a shutdown-menu etc. Those can be installed seperately see here (also from the webupd8 PPA).
