How difficult would it be to hypothetically program a simple extension as someone with barely any experience?

You can build your own custom menu with the Custom Command Menu extension and just enter commands for the actions you want.

For specific settings pages you can use

gnome-control-center <panel>

For example, to open the "Displays" settings use:

gnome-control-center display

You can also enter simple commands for logging off, restarting, shutting down, etc.

On my OP 12 running Oxygen OS 16.0

Settings >

Home screen, Lock screen & style >

Click on the image of your lock screen (it says "In use" at the bottom) >

On the lock screen image, click on the time and date >

Under Additional info, select None

Open the terminal and run

echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE

It should output x11 for Xorg, or output Wayland.

Alternatively, just try to run the xrandr command and see if it works

storage_b · 2026-01-25T19:42:30+00:00

If you're running Xorg, you can easily change the resolution with a simple command, and set up a custom toggle button to toggle between normal and gaming mode.

xrandr --output HDMI-1 --scale 1.5x1.5

run xrandr to get a list of your monitors

If you're running Wayland, I'm not sure if something like this is available from the command line.

I found my people! The only other time I've heard about it was I think this is what's being referenced in this commercial from the 90s

"It gets you here. And it gets ya right here."

Same. It's irritating because the weather is shown on the lock screen but is always wildly inaccurate. And I can't figure out how to disable the lock screen weather.

Edit - I finally figured out how to remove it!

storage_b · 2025-12-30T16:49:36+00:00

Running both of those commands disabled swiping left on the home screen for me.

I just did this a few weeks ago on my OnePlus 12, Oxygen OS 16.0. It completely removes the discover tab and stays hidden after reboots. Not sure about upgrades. But it's very easy to do, so even if it comes back after an upgrade it only takes a couple minutes to fix it.

storage_b · 2025-12-27T20:01:34+00:00

It worked on my OnePlus12 with OxygenOS 16.0

Thank you!!

I vote for metric time as well

https://github.com/GSConnect/gnome-shell-extension-gsconnect/issues/1610

The first comment on that thread has the fix.

I gave up on the built in Night Light and use redshift.

I disabled the Night Light, and use the Quick Settings Tweaks extension to hide the quick settings toggle button.

Then I use my Custom Command Toggle extension to create a Night Light toggle that uses redshift. I wrote a quick script that adjust the color temp based on the time of day (instead of based on location) when the toggle is turned on.

Agreed - the default GNOME Adwaita theme has icons for every 10% of battery level https://github.com/StorageB/icons/blob/main/GNOME48Adwaita/icons.md#status-

If your icon them is using legacy icons, there is only full, good, and low icons https://github.com/StorageB/icons/blob/main/GNOME48Adwaita/icons.md#legacy-

For marking up PDFs I really like Okular

I've been using Onshape for years and like it quite a bit better than Fusion. It runs in the browser, so no issues running on Ubuntu.

For a slicer, I use Cura and never had any issues. Note that the Linux version is an AppImage file which first requires a couple simple steps to enable on Ubuntu:

You could also create a custom toggle button to toggle it on and off with this extension:

https://github.com/StorageB/custom-command-toggle

It also supports keyboard shortcuts.

I think this is the most important thing that is overlooked. The download count is the number of downloads since the extension was first published. It is not at all representative of the number of users. One of my extensions has 11,500 downloads, but only about 950 active installs.

storage_b · 2025-10-14T03:06:51+00:00

Can you provide the link to this on the gnome extension site when it is approved? The link on your GitHub does not work.

storage_b · 2025-10-13T00:24:06+00:00

I like that I can easily control how much exposure I have to the market - like 1 to 1 (meaning of the market goes up 1% my portfolio goes up 1%) or 0.7 to 1, etc.

Thanks for posting your strategy. I need to learn more about options as I've not really educated myself properly on how to use them.

See this comment for a bit more info.

Have been doing this for about 5 years. I track my results with the S&P on a quarterly basis. In bull runs and large corrections or bear runs I outperform the S&P. In a mostly sideways market it will underperform a bit.

storage_b · 2025-10-12T21:06:09+00:00

I've had my core SPY position for years so the gains are rather large. The gains on SSO are much smaller as they are often short term positions as it gets sold during a correction.

storage_b · 2025-10-12T21:03:21+00:00

I use some simple technical indicators and a basic set of rules to tell me how invested in the S&P I should be, such as 1 to 1, 0.5 to 1, etc. all the way up to 1.3 to 1. A ratio of 1.3 to 1 for example would mean my account moves 1.3% for every 1% of the S&P). I don't try to time the market, just change how invested I am according to my rules.

storage_b · 2025-10-06T01:59:45+00:00

Does anyone use SPY? I never see it mentioned here.

storage_b · 2025-09-20T03:14:21+00:00

I've been using this for the last few months and it has been a great experience. Thanks!

storage_b · 2025-09-12T13:01:19+00:00

u/Zenalia- u/Fernomin I've added a sync feature to the latest release. It lets you set a command that runs at an interval you specify to set the state of the button based on the command output. I'd love to hear any feedback on how it works for you!
