How did you remove them on firefox? It works on all of the other windows! I really like that though

@nigelwarning said, the only time Iāve had problems with the extensions is when there is a major Gnome update such as 3.36 to 3.38. My solution is to not make any updates on my system for 3 or 4 days or up to a week. How long is determined by what I am reading on the forums. When people start reporting back that stuff is fixed, I update. Letās see, itās been a while since I looked into this, but either getting your extensions from the AUR as .git, or getting you extensions from extension.gnome.org, one way or the other or maybe both usually will update the extensions during an update. So there is no fuss. Maybe someone else will have some better feedback on this.

You have te re-enable titlebar in firefox (menu => customize => bottom left), the Unite extension then removes it for you

All the cool kids do GNOME. Just try it. You never have to do it again if you donāt like it.

My man. Thatās basically it. It feels like how Iād really want a computer to be. Iām quite content with it for now.
Gnome has always felt its as a comp layout should be here, Gnome is a diy setup to suit you i love it, My 9 year old knows what he wantās so he has his own setup that just works for him. The 17 year old is a traitor he only uses win10 on his laptop all i get is dad this and that has stopped working mainly internet.

If youāre truly looking for a DIY DE. . . I would strongly recommend KDE. I actually think GNOME is the opposite. It feels very rigid until you start adding extensions from a bunch of people, and patch them into it. KDE feels like it can be anything, and itās basically all in the settings. Thereās no wrong way to Linux though. I like all DEās in their own respect, except maybe Deepin. I just canāt really recommend that to anyone. But the big 3 all have great things going, and significantly more similar than not.

No No JWM is as the user codes everything themselves that is a real WM, so you write the code to draw the frames headers and footers icons transparency, so it will draw all windows regardless the same gtk 2-3 qt every thing the same. KDE is really not my flavor its like a visit back in time, Gnome setup correctly uses the same RAM at start up using LXDM for login, But Iām old now and not well gnome only needs minimal attention every 6 months, KDE is virtually every day well week fix one thing something else needs fixing, I really donāt need that at the moment. I will get back to JWM when iām well.
How did you get the icons on your desktop, with an extension and how did you make your top bar larger? Iāve searched this forum & google. Some of those extensions donāt work with 3.38.2, can you recommend any? Thanks
Desktop Icons or Desktop Icons NG (ding) will get you what you wantā¦ https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/2087/desktop-icons-ng-ding/ https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1465/desktop-icons/
Ding is more āexperimentalā, but try both & see which one you wantā¦both bring back the āoldā nautilus behavior.
To change the top bar sizing is not really that hardāgo into the theme you are using & in /gnome-shell, modify the gnome-shell.css line that defines the font size. Search for āfont-size: 10pt;ā for instance. To increase the bar, goto a 12pt or so. The bar will āexpandā to accommodate the larger font.
Also, https://extensions.gnome.org has a update page that will keep your extensions up to date.

Thanks! I was just looking at this lol https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/2087/desktop-icons-ng-ding/
Hereās his āstagingā page: https://gitlab.com/rastersoft/desktop-icons-ng
Be forewarned, if you start building an extension from source, you will need to modify the metadata.json file to prevent the Extensions page from trying to install a ānewerā version over your ātestingā version. If you get into doing it that way just message me about the mods to the metadata file.
