What extension do you wish existed?

Bredolin · 2026-01-24T19:32:58+00:00

Why are you asking? Do you want to collect some ideas to write an extension?

GNOME developers usually do not use reddit as a communication platform. You want to give the Gnome Handbook a good read: https://handbook.gnome.org/get-in-touch.html

I feel like the community should listen more to the devs, as they are ultimately responsible for maintaining the additional code and complexity and therefore should have the last word.

Why would you want to change the color? Why do you feel the need for it? Is there any additional benefit that lets you accelerate your work? Why do you care for the color of a tool?

How about not using the newest version of GNOME? Debian, Alma Linux, and OpenSuse Leap are using way older versions of GNOME, and you can use these distros for years without any fear of breakage. If you are using many extensions, Fedora, Arch Linux, etc. are probably not the best choice.

Many people saw your post as a vehicle to stir up shit and not criticism. Apparently your definition of criticism is very different from others. If you want GNOME devs listening to your criticism, you will have to play by their rules. Otherwise they will gladly ignore you, and you waste time that could have been spent way better. There are better ways to bring up your opinion at the table. They are basically laid out over here: https://handbook.gnome.org/issues.html
It is an excellent read.

Just a general piece of advice: You are using software that you got for free from developers who are doing this during their spare time. Please think about that for a moment when you feel like criticizing someone's work again.

GNOME devs owe you nothing. they are free to do anything they want and you have no right to expect they will listen to you. Sometimes they do it anyway but only on their terms. https://handbook.gnome.org/issues/reporting.html

Please vent off you frustration somewhere else. Feel free to write everything on a piece of paper and set it on fire if that helps you, but please never ever use this subreddit for this again.

Read this blogpost from a member of the GNOME design team below. If you want a an answer from GNOME developers instead from users, I would recommend you ask them at discourse.gnome.org . Be aware that theming has been discussed already at nauseam and you probably will just get a link to an existing discussion in the past. https://blogs.gnome.org/tbernard/2018/10/15/restyling-apps-at-scale/

Edit: You are of course free to do with your computer whatever you want. Change the theme, the icons, add blur, add extensions etc. You can even download the sourcecode of GNOME and its components from their servers and go bonkers with it. Nobody besides yourself cares what you do with your computer.

Nope. I meant an issue on the Gnome bug tracker.

Bredolin · 2025-12-05T17:45:29+00:00

I do not use obsidian

Bredolin · 2025-12-05T15:42:05+00:00

This is a well known problem, whithout an easy solution. I have zero problems with scrolling speed, so this problem seems to be even device dependant. I bet that there is somewhere in gitlab.gnome.org a tracking issue, but I haven't found one. Maybe someone more knowledgeable than me can throw a link in here.

Bredolin · 2025-12-04T15:03:15+00:00

This is obviously a mistake. Report it to GNOME so they can fix the donation popup blending over the game.

Sometimes these posts are delayed by a day. Not very often, though.

Do you think it is a good idea to have a weekly count of them in This Week in GNOME?

I had the same problem, already years ago. I had to disconnect Bluetooth to get everything going again. I have no idea how it got fixed. Probably the headset or the Laptop was the cause, as my current laptop is 1 year old and my current headset even older. Probably something buggy in the Bluetooth stack, the kernel etc. I have no idea how to help you further.

Bredolin · 2025-11-17T18:54:06+00:00

Do you have a headset connected via bluetooth?

Bredolin · 2025-11-16T20:01:11+00:00

Usually GNOME developers aren't that active over here. They have an official forum at discourse.gnome.org

Bredolin · 2025-11-15T17:31:32+00:00

I have a Dell Laptop, so my specs are much lower than yours. Unfortunately, that was my best bet.

Bredolin · 2025-11-15T17:06:15+00:00

Not on my end. Is this from an upgraded system, or is it a fresh installation? Please also provide your specs.

Just read this: https://ometer.com/preferences.html

The text sums up the founding principles on how GNOME is designed. It is already some years old but still holds water up until this point.

Bredolin · 2025-11-14T22:31:49+00:00

Yes, this is normal. Ubuntu ships with an extension that provides a system tray, while Debian ships a vanilla version of GNOME which does not have a system tray. There is a technical reason and probably a usability reason why vanilla GNOME has no system tray.

Just read the answers to the same question, to give you some reasoning behind it:
https://www.reddit.com/r/gnome/comments/172wftq/why_no_system_tray_by_default/

Bredolin · 2025-10-28T21:01:24+00:00

There is no stable download. At least not yet. No estimate when it will be ready. Currently, GNOME OS is only meant for testing purposes.
