I’m back to GNOME after years away. What extensions do you use that’s compatible with the version of GNOME that’s in the Arch repo?

    The five extensions I need to enjoy GNOME are:

    • Just Perfection - allows you to tweak visibility and sizing for most aspects of GNOME.
    • Blur My Shell - shows your wallpaper along with a nice adjustable level of blur instead of the default grey that appears behind the activities and app menu overlays.
    • Tiling Assistant - greatly expands the window snapping and tiling options available, even has custom layout options.
    • Arch Update - an App Indicator that lets you know if you have updates available. Configurable to use whatever check frequency and package management commands you want.
    • Ubuntu’s AppIndicator support extension - because GNOME doesn’t believe in tray icons, and I use some things that disagree, like Steam and ckb-next.
