Ask HN: What GNOME Shell extensions do you use?

• gnome-shell-extension-appindicator

  157 1,121 7.4 JavaScript

  Adds KStatusNotifierItem support to the Shell

  

I'm currently using 4 extensions.

system-monitor (https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/120/system-monitor/). It is nice to see my CPU and memory usage at a glance with some history. I don't look too often but it can be good for understanding how builds are progressing, check that my software is utilizing parallelism well and see when things are in an infinite loop gobbling RAM.

Clipboard History (https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/4839/clipboard-histor...)

I can't live without a clipboard manager, this seems to do a decent job.

Bing Wallpaper (https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1262/bing-wallpaper-c...)

I don't see my wallpaper often but when I open the menu or log in it is nice to have a new beautiful picture.

AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support (https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/615/appindicator-supp...)

I like icons in my toolbar.
