Fedora 工作站的默认桌面 GNOME Shell，因其极简、整洁的用户界面而闻名，并深受许多用户的喜爱。它还以可使用扩展添加到 stock 界面的能力而闻名。在本文中，我们将介绍 GNOME Shell 的 3 个简单且有用的扩展。这三个扩展为你的桌面提供了更多的行为，可以完成你可能每天都会做的简单任务。


### 安装扩展程序


安装 GNOME Shell 扩展的最快捷、最简单的方法是使用“软件”应用。有关详细信息，请查看 Magazine [以前的文章](https://fedoramagazine.org/install-extensions-via-software-application/)：

*Fedora 29 中的 Removable Drive Menu 扩展*


首先是 [Removable Drive Menu](https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/7/removable-drive-menu/) 扩展。如果你的计算机中有可移动驱动器，它是一个可在系统托盘中添加一个 widget 的简单工具。它可以使你轻松打开可移动驱动器中的文件，或者快速方便地弹出驱动器以安全移除设备。

如果你一直在安装和尝试新扩展，那么 [Extensions](https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1036/extensions/) 扩展非常有用。它提供了所有已安装扩展的列表，允许你启用或禁用它们。此外，如果该扩展有设置，那么可以快速打开每个扩展的设置对话框。

最后的是列表中最简单的扩展。[Frippery Move Clock](https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/2/move-clock/)，只是将时钟位置从顶部栏的中心向右移动，位于状态区旁边。

OK
The default desktop of Fedora Workstation — GNOME Shell — is known and loved by many users for its minimal, clutter-free user interface. It is also known for the ability to add to the stock interface using extensions. In this article, we cover 3 simple, and useful extensions for GNOME Shell. These three extensions provide a simple extra behaviour to your desktop; simple tasks that you might do every day.

### Installing Extensions

The quickest and easiest way to install GNOME Shell extensions is with the Software Application. Check out the previous post here on the Magazine for more details:

## Removable Drive Menu

First up is the [Removable Drive Menu](https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/7/removable-drive-menu/) extension. It is a simple tool that adds a small widget in the system tray if you have a removable drive inserted into your computer. This allows you easy access to open Files for your removable drive, or quickly and easily eject the drive for safe removal of the device.

## Extensions Extension.

The [Extensions](https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1036/extensions/) extension is super useful if you are always installing and trying out new extensions. It provides a list of all the installed extensions, allowing you to enable or disable them. Additionally, if an extension has settings, it allows quick access to the settings dialog for each one.

## Frippery Move Clock

Finally, there is the simplest extension in the list. [Frippery Move Clock](https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/2/move-clock/), simply moves the position of the clock from the center of the top bar to the right, next to the status area.

## Steven

The layout of this post is a bit odd, if someone doesn’t notice the pages they’d miss all of the content…you may want to advertise that in the body of the first page?

## Clément Verna

That should be fixed now 🙂

## Steven

Yep, looks great and seems to show the content on a single page.

Great content. I’d also propose the multi-monitors-add-on, TopIcons, dash-to-dock, and audio-output-switcher as great utilitarian extensions for those that have a Fedora/Gnome workstations.

The multi-monitors-add-on allows you to have a top bar (with a clock) on your secondary/ancillary displays.

The dash-to-dock allows for a MacOS type of dock on the bottom of the screen that is really nice for those who may use both Mac OS and Gnome in their day to day routines.

The audio-output-switcher makes it a really quick and seamless way to transition from a headset to speakers for when you’re playing games, or joining online meetings and would rather confine your audio input/output.

## Ryan Lerch

We recently did a post on Dash to Dock here on the magazine:

https://fedoramag.wpengine.com/dash-dock-extenstion/

The other ones would be awesome too for standalone articles! The Fedora Magazine is by the Fedora Community for the Fedora Community, so if you are feeling keen, we are always looking for new writers and content 😀

## Ryan Lerch

Thanks for fixing that! 😀

## Erick White

You know, it’s a pretty bare document with just the paragraph up in my e-mail. :p Either the page didn’t publish or an accidently early publish. It was funny.

## Stuart Gathman

All of those come “out of the box” with Cinnamon spin!

## Saif

same for KDE

## Jorge

“Is known and loved by many users for its minimal, clutter-free user interface…” so minimal that after installation you will lost a lot of time to choose and parameterize the poor extensions to make Gnome useful.

## Fabio

Perfect!

## Pawa

Thank you, this is helpful!

## archuser

Why isn’t drop-down terminal mentioned here?

## Ryan Lerch

what a nifty extension! that is a great idea for a future post!

we are always looking for new writers here at the Magazine, so if you are feeling writer-y, jump in and pitch!

## Fabio

If you guys know that these are useful extensions, so why dont they come enabled? Until when will we have to keep installing extensions to have basic functions like eject a usb drive?

## Ryan Lerch

To be honest, I rarely use USB drives, so having this feature in the top bar is not really something that i use every day. So i understand the assumption here to not clutter up the top bar all the time with every shortcut and feature in an OS. Ejecting a USB is available out-of-the-box on Fedora with the files app, so it really isn’t a missing feature.

The Workstation Working Group is responsible for decisions like this for Fedora Workstation, so feel free to file a feature request in their ticket queue for discussion:

## Yury

When Gnome 3 came out, there was some discussion about how the desktop metaphor was dead and the minimal “tablet-style” the new norm. Then Windows 8 dropped and people felt justified in the direction Gnome was heading. Except, Windows 8 had a nifty button called “Desktop”. Click it, and you’re in the original Windows interface. You could use the Tiles, sure, but it also had a full desktop experience. When’s that extension coming to Gnome?

## Thomas

Not sure what you are asking for. By default the windows desktop doesn’t force tiling. In fact you must install extensions to get a tiling wm like interface.

## AsciiWolf

Another must-have extension for me is (K)StatusNotifierItem/AppIndicator Support for tray icon support.

## jesse

Do we have anything like these “tips and tricks” but for the KDE side of the house?

I love both Gnome and KDE, but am currently using KDE. I like the look of KDE but enjoy the ease of Gnome.

KDE has the same functionality and in some way a little more polished for advance users. Gnome is very minimalist and that is good for new users.

Anyways, I was just wondering if we have these same type of articles for KDE on Fedora. They have their own distribution now, but I still like KDE + Fedora.

thanks,

## jakfrost

The differences of the two are evident. The fundamental difference being that Gnome uses Wayland, and KDE is only available by using Xorg. Wayland is a better windowing compositor than Xorg, but Xorg is still more ubiquitous.

## Leslie Satenstein

The bqckground prior to the first extension, appears to be the Manjaro Linux background.

It may be too late to change the background to something flat/unicolor.
