gnome-shell-extension-gsconnect VS blur-my-shell

I mean.... yeah! Thats exactly what you should be doing. Upgrading your OS when not all your essential software is supported is bad practice to begin with and most non-rolling Distro support previous version for a bit (Fedora 38 will be supported for 6 months after the release of 39 for example). The extension manager app has a great "upgrade assistant" that lets you easily see which of your extension was already ported. Most extensions were already ported and the rest will probably follow shortly after Gnome 45 hits major distros. GSconnect already merged a PR so their release will be soon.

https://github.com/GSConnect/gnome-shell-extension-gsconnect/releases/tag/v55 does not mention security fixes. Do you have more information?

I'm using GSConnect on Ubuntu. I have first disabled "Clipboard Sync". There are a number of Actions for which keyboard shortcuts can be defined for a device [1]. One of them is Clipboard Push. I assigned Shift+Ctrl+Alt+V to that, so whenever I execute that contrived key combination, the clipboard is synced to my mobile. I suppose KDE Connect has a similar feature.

GNOME Extensions : quick-settings-tweaker, appindicator and KStatusNotifier, arcmenu, blur-my-shell, dash-to-panel, forge, gsconnect, just-perfection, show-desktop-button, space-bar, user-themes and vitals

You can install blur my shell extension to modify the look.

if you want blurred backgrounds, the extension blur my shell will work.

Why don't you just look at the source code? https://github.com/aunetx/blur-my-shell

Blur my Shell - Blurs the background in the overview.

dnf install gnome-browser-connector Firefox extension: {addons.mozilla.org} - Resource Monitor • Show system resources in the top bar - User Themes • Custom themes (may break some things) - Dash To Dock • turns the application launcher into a macos style dock - Blur My Shell • make the UI glassy

In my case, I'm using the Blur My Shell extension, so it basically takes whatever background image I have and places it in the overview with a blur effect (though you can also remove the blur completely and just use the extension to set your background as your overview background). By default it will blur a lot of things around your desktop, like the top bar, for instance— just disable anything you don't want; I personally only leave the Overview blur active.
