 Posted: Sat Apr 05, 2014 3:10 am Post subject: GNOME 3.10 customisations [SOLVED] |
 |
|
Hello, I'm just getting started with GNOME and wondered if it's possible to perform the following customisations to the desktop shell:- have the bar show multiple clocks of various time zones, not just one for local.
- have the bar disappear and only appear when the mouse is moved to the top of the screen.
Thanks. I did try the tweak tool but couldn't see a way.

Thanks. I managed to get the hide-top-bar thing working but the panel world clock beats me. On the page, there's an on/off slider but no other indication of how to download or install the extension. I do have the gnome shell integration plugin for the browser (Firefox). I would have expected something like a download link or other way of getting the clock onto my computer.
Puuting the slider to on doesn't seem to do anything.

Yup, in "/usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/extensionDownloader.js" the download url is different from what "extensions.gnome.org" expects (same url but with another param "version_tag" added at the end).
If you have php installed you can use this script as an alternative to get that/other extension. 
---or--- download it from https://extensions.gnome.org//download-extension/world_clock@ailin.nemui.shell-extension.zip?version_tag=3585
| Code: |
#!/usr/bin/php
<?php
if(!isset($argv[1])||!preg_match('/^https:\/\/extensions\.gnome\.org\/extension\//', $argv[1])){
exit("use: $argv[0] <link to extension's page>\n");
}
$url=$argv[1];
$shell_version="3.10.4";
$html=file_get_contents($url);
if(preg_match('/data-uuid="([^"]+)"/', $html, $match)){
$uuid=$match[1];
if(!preg_match('/^[a-z0-9@\._-]+$/i', $uuid)){
exit("don't like this uuid's chars\n");
}
$json_string=file_get_contents("https://extensions.gnome.org/extension-info/?uuid=".urlencode($uuid)."&shell_version=".urlencode($shell_version));
if(!empty($json_string)){
$json=json_decode($json_string);
if($json){
if(isset($json->download_url)){
echo "downloading '".$json->name."'\n";
$extension=file_get_contents("https://extensions.gnome.org/".$json->download_url);
if(!empty($extension)){
if(file_exists($uuid)){
echo "deleting old dir..\n";
shell_exec("rm -r '$uuid'");
}
mkdir($uuid);
$fp=fopen($uuid."/".$uuid.".zip", "wb");
if($fp){
fwrite($fp, $extension);
fclose($fp);
shell_exec("cd '$uuid' && unzip $uuid.zip && rm $uuid.zip");
if(file_exists($uuid."/metadata.json") && file_exists($uuid."/extension.js")){
echo "extension saved as '$uuid'\n";
} else {
echo "failed to extract extension\n";
}
exit;
}
echo "failed to save file\n";
} else {
echo "can't download..\n";
}
} else {
echo "can't find version for your shell\n";
}
print_r($json); // debug
exit;
} else {
echo "failed to decode json (extension info)\n";
}
} else {
echo "failed to get json (extension info)\n";
}
} else {
echo "can't find uuid\n";
}
?>

Thanks, that works. It would be nice to set the colours differently as I can do with XFCE, but the basic functionality is there.
