Ubuntu12.04 easily install the GnomeShell Extension

Do you also like to make your operating system beautiful and easy to use? Many people say that gnome3 has changed the traditional operating habits and misses the gnome2 era. I really like what gnome3 brings to me. I recently installed Ubuntu12.04. Since the alpha version was just released at the time of installation, I developed a habit of almost obsessive-compulsive disorder: I click the update manager several times a day and feel steadfast when I see the Update file. many themes and extensions can be installed in gnome-shell to beautify the system and make it easy to use. network

Do you also like to make your operating system beautiful and easy to use? Many people say that gnome3 has changed the traditional operating habits and misses the gnome2 era.

Many theme and extensions can be installed in gnome-shell to beautify the system and make it easy to use.

After PPA source, run the command to install theme and extension. at that time, I installed it in this way, but with the upgrade of UBUNTU, gnome-shell was also updated to 3.4.1. however, many extensions in the source are still in version 3.2. even if it is installed on a computer, the system prompts that the shell version is not suitable for this version. after google found that the original installation extension can be so simple.

Login with Firefox: https://extensions.gnome.org is recommended

After entering the website, the default display should be an extension that conforms to the system version. in addition, each extension has a function description, and most of the extensions are included at the same time, which makes it easy to understand the extended functions. after selecting the extension to be installed, there is a slide switch on the left. After the switch is turned on, wait a moment (the waiting time depends on the network speed) and you will be prompted whether to install the extension. After confirming the installation, that is, the installation is successful, and the extension has taken effect.

The following describes your favorite extensions for your reference only.

AlternateTab: displays the preview instead of the icon when you use the alt + tab key switch.

Applications Menu: displays a gnome 2. x Application Menu.

Brightness Control: because you have a notebook, you have installed this extension to adjust the screen Brightness.

Places Status Indicator: Add a file directory menu.

System-monitor: monitors computer cpu, memory, hard disk, network traffic, and other data.

User Themes: it is strongly recommended that you install the extension before changing the shell theme.

I hope that you will be helpful after reading my summary. in the next blog, we will introduce how to delete these extensions and how to manually delete the installed extensions when the extension version is earlier than gnome-shell. (See http://www.linuxidc.com/Linux/2012-07/64773.htm for details)
