Today's instalment of Fedora Test Day will focus on gnome-shell extension management. Since the release of GNOME 3 about a year ago there's been a great progress in ways one can customize it.

Since the release of GNOME 3 about a year ago there's been a great progress in ways one can customize it. Remember applets, desktop widgets etc. back in GNOME 2? Missed them? Now we have all that back in form of gnome-shell extensions! Shell's architecture makes it relatively painless to make them and a lot of useful extensions are already out. | ||
There are several ways one can manage gnome-shell extensions. In addition to having gnome-tweak-tool, extension management has also been integrated with Firefox and https://extensions.gnome.org/, where you can search for and install extensions as well as enable/disable them. Haven't tried it yet? Go on, it's really nice! And while you're at it, please help us test these various ways of extension management by following the few test cases over here, catching bugs and thus contributing in efforts of making gnome-shell with extensions what all have been waiting for! | There are several ways one can manage gnome-shell extensions.

* For most testing, a graphics adapter capable of compositing. If you have an adapter that doesn't support HW acceleration, you can still proceed if the all new software rendering kicks in. However you can still expect frequent lags and crashes, especially if you're having software rendering due to running Fedora in virtual environment. | * For most testing, a graphics adapter capable of compositing.

{{admon/important|Shell inside VirtualBox or virt-manager / KVM|Until now only modern and 3D capable cards were able to run gnome-shell. Most modern CPUs are in principle powerful enough to run gnome-shell and a full GNOME 3 session without 3D support and only via software rendering. Thanks to updates in several packages software rendering will be available from Fedora 17. This means that a full desktop session can now be run inside VMs as well using vesa, cirrus or qxl drivers. If it's inconvenient for you to install Fedora or use the Live CD on 'real' HW, you can take advantage of VMs. However be warned that you are still likely to experience crashes at this point | {{admon/important|Shell inside VirtualBox or virt-manager / KVM|Until now only modern and 3D capable cards were able to run gnome-shell.
