 Okay, so I have made a lot of videos on GNOME and its extensions and today we shall have a look at some extensions that are less popular than usual but nonetheless greatly improved the user experience. Now before I do that, let's start with a list of extensions which are great but won't be covered in depth because I've talked about them in the past or they're already popular enough they don't need any more advertisement. This includes MaterialShall, Caffeine, Dash2Doc, FloatingDoc, RuntedCorner's user theme, JSConnect and the Clipboard Indicator. Of course many of you might know this, in fact these are the obvious ones, so let's just get them out of the way. Instead let's start off with some of the interesting ones. So Pomodoro. The name explains this extension. It's basically the Pomodoro Technique which helps you focus what you're doing, it helps you get rid of the distraction that you might have in your PC. So for those of you who don't know Pomodoro Technique is a way to keep a focus and keep away the distraction for a certain time, usually like 25 minutes and then you spend the next five minutes explaining how this works. This extension sets a timer for you to focus and do nothing else for a specific time and finally reminds you to take a break after a while and come back to work after a few minutes. I personally like to combine a Pomodoro widget with a 2D1 on my plasma machine at least to give me a bit of a productivity space on my panel. It's nice to see that you can do something similar in GNOME 4.45 but in GNOME 2. Disable force quit or weight button. So if you use GNOME you probably know that it sometimes pop-ups this dialog even though it's not really necessary or Windows software is a bit slow and needs time for a task. This also sometimes pops up while processing out videos, run drinks, image processing and other slow tasks in GNOME. So nothing particularly fancy but who knows maybe somebody out there was indeed annoyed by these dialogues and didn't know about the existence of this extension at all which just hides those dialogues. So it basically saved your life. You don't have to thank me. Simple taskbar. Again the name explains the extension entirely. It basically turns your top bar of GNOME into a good simple taskbar where you could see all of your minimized opened and pinned applications and open them just from there just like the task manager in KDA Plasma or any other desktop. When paired with other extensions like Unite which allows you to merge the window title bar with the top bar when maximized and so on the combination could make the desktop way more space efficient and good looking. Workspace great. So this is something which many desktops have by default and GNOME also has by default but in a different way. In KDA if you press meta and f8 it allows you to view all of the workspaces in the form the exact way you arranged it. This could be a row but also a grid. The same approach can be found in most desktops like Cinnamon, Unity and also GNOME. But in GNOME you'll have to get into the activities view where you see the workspaces in this manner. So quite different from what we expect in KDA Plasma. The workspace grid allows you to press a desired shortcut and get this simple grid view for the workspaces in GNOME. It's simple, easy to use and provides a good experience for those who want this in GNOME. Although it doesn't exact work like the grid in KDA, it has the work for you. However, note that it's not under active maintenance and it is looking for a new maintainer. This means that updates might break this extension. So proceed with caution. Focus. So this is a good one. It allows you to keep windows which are not in focus with a certain transparency whilst keeping the windows in focus opaque. This gives you this nice 3D view and is just pleasing to see. It also has an impact on accessibility as sometimes the default look might not transmit easily enough which window is currently active. I know as an example that this is a common complaint that we have in the style of KDA Plasma. Rounded window corner. This is one of those extensions which does a slight change in the look and feel but this small change might make the desktop feel more modern or prettier. As the name suggests, it changes the border radius of the window making it more rounded in the corners. Some might hate this but it seems like the design trend is to pump up the radius of everything, google. Something like this also exists in KDA Plasma which is especially important because Plasma does not round the bottom part of the windows pedifold and you might want instead that. Why do I keep talking about KDA in a grand video you say? Well maybe because I'm slightly biased? I don't know. Pano. This is an extension I have spoken about in the past. Pano is a clipboard manager for Gnomeschall which allows you to not only view all the stuff you've copied in a fancy way but also view copied images, rearrange stuff if you needed, search your clipboard and so on. I mean sure you could do that in your normal clipboard indicator extension is the best out there when it comes to copying and keeping them in a clipboard format even comparing them to other desktop environments and their widgets is just the best. It even allows you to see the files and the emojis you copied before not to mention the amount of details it gives of the copied items like application name, image as if necessary and so on. Clip note. This has to be one of the top five economic extensions for productivity. Short explanation. This is similar to google keep embedded into Gnom which you could sync if you want with other Gnome devices I guess using apps like sync thing in which case you'd rather just be better off using jobbling. This is meant to be a simpler and quicker way of form of note taking where you quickly select something through clipboard, files etc and just save it as a note on your desktop. You could also add tags, rearrange them and so on. If you want to refer to the notes you could have a quick look through the extension in the top bar or you could check out the notes in the clip notes directory in the local folder. All in all great for those who want to remember something and keep referring to a lot of stuff. At the same time it's not that useful for those of you who use a complete note taking app like jobbling where you do the same thing through the extension and so on. It's meant for those who don't need a complete note taking application but would still like a small place to keep some info. Notes. Talking about notes we shall move into sticky notes. Notes it's google keep but in Gnome and better considering it could be viewed without going to a web browser. If you're not a clip note fan and need something more versatile and a bit more feature rich notes is probably for you. It allows you to organize in many ways like color tags and so on and you can have them in the desktop. This could also be a bit distracting for those who believe in having a cleaner desktop with simpler elements and a wallpaper but the interface is clean and it also provides you with a lot of shortcuts options to change and toggle when they appear and disappear from the desktop. You could hide icons and have automatic focus have either above all the window or below all the windows and many more features. If quick sticky notes is your thing this is a good one not to mention the extra productivity you could have if you use this long clip note. Burn my windows again this is something I've spoken about in my previous videos but amazing extension it gives you a list of call animations which you could select to open and close windows. I'm not gonna go much into here because I've covered this in previous videos but it's really cool and a nice touch for your GNOME desktop web feed. This uses RSS and Atom feed reader to integrate into GNOME for you to view read write through clicking on the button on the top bar. Again it's a simple and it does exactly what it says it's helpful to get notified by your feed and just get your RSS content through the GNOME desktop itself. Circular widgets this is basically like conky but for GNOME with some extra features like drag and drop support added non customizable calendar added net speed widget highly customizable RAM CPU clock and net speed widgets and so on it looks pretty good out of the box and it is fairly customizable when it comes to the widgets to add and remove and so on. Now let me just end the video saying thanks for watching guys and also I'm doing some kitty development so it's not for GNOME extensions but still pretty cool stuff and also I'm doing these videos and suddenly I'm not currently employed by anybody to do all any of this like kitty involvement videos and that but I do receive donations to Patron Kofi, LibraPay, YouTube Memberships, PayPal all of that and if you feel like supporting the videos you can just use any to just leave a tip and make sure that this channel keeps on doing videos like this so if you did that by the way if you did that and your the names thank you it's actually helping out a lot.
