GNOME Shell Focus Effects Extension

Using GNOME Shell on Ubuntu 11.10(Oneiric), I tried to add a new effect like Compiz Fusion."gnome-tweak-tool" is required in order for you to use this extension.

To install GNOME Shell Focus Effects Extension, make sure GIT is installed, then run the following commands:

$ sudo apt-get install git
$ git clone https://github.com/paradoxxxzero/gnome-shell-focus-effects-extension.git
$ mkdir -p ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions
$ cp -r gnome-shell-focus-effects-extension/focus-effects@paradoxxx.zero.gmail.com ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/

To also copy the example config file to your home folder, run the following command:

$ cp gnome-shell-focus-effects-extension/example.ffxrc.json ~/.ffxrc.json

Now you can tweak the effects by opening the .ffxrc.json file in your home folder (it's a hidden file so press CTRL+H to see hidden files and folders).

Once installed, restart GNOME Shell and apply the extension using GNOME Tweak Tool.
Note: you'll also have to restart GNOME Shell (or log out and log back in) after disabling the extension!
