ChrisJumper:

This extension looks gnome 3.0 only. You can check it in metadata.json file. You can try to edit it to 3.2, but it won't probably work. You should install weather extension from my "overlay". It works with 3.2

It works fine here, can you check your .xsession-errors file? Or maybe you have missing icon (?) You can try to click to some empty place on your panel, if it shows player control.

I don't have any free place on the top panel for this (try click for all the some empty place).

And i do reboot again and this is my fresh xsession-errors file: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/489914/

What's wrong?

gnome-tweak-tool doesn't list any extension. Do I need to do anything else after install an extension from your overlay?

Solved!!

Mint Linux have some nice extensions for Gnome3.x

Lots of custom stuff + some mimic classical desktop - I have tried a few of these and they seem to work very well

Would someone be willing to tell me exactly how to add the weather extension into Gnome 3.2? I'm not that familiar with ebuilds and overlays. I've installed Gentoo a few times, but never had to do anything with portage except masking/unmasking. I don't know how to use layman or overlays, so I'm not sure where to go from here.

I will research how to use layman and add overlays to portage in the meantime, but I'm thinking that I should be able to add the overlay into portage and just emerge it like a regular ebuild? If that's the case, how do I add this overlay?

Thanks guys!

Hello,

information to the layman-overlay can be found here: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/overlays/userguide.xml

For the weather-extension you do not need the layman-overlay.
The weather extension is to be found here: https://github.com/simon04/gnome-shell-extension-weather

In a nutshell, the installation:
Download the zip file in your home directory. Unzip it and go into the folder.
For installation, run the following commands:

Ok. I have downloaded, unpacked, and autogen/make/make install and restarted gnome with no weather. gesettings list-schemas does show the line org.gnome.shell.extensions.weather, but everytime I try a set command it spits out this:

** (process:24512): WARNING **: The connection is closed

I must be missing a step or something...Tx

If you copy-paste the above instructions may errors occur.
I had too many blanks in the installation instructions.
Sorry.
I have corrected it.

Thanks
