Most times an extension works with a new gnome-shell version, so it was just a matter of editing the metadata file manually to stop the shell from unnecessarily disabling it. If an extension doesn't really work it usually throws an error and doesn't load/work, i.e. I lose nothing disabling the gnome-shell extension version check, and having most of my extensions go on working. This is all under a big AFAIK banner. -- Ahmad Samir -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
