Migrate to GNOME 45-47

[Sominemo]

Migrated the extension to GNOME 45's ESM API, which also means older shell versions must be dropped.

fixes #175

How to install directly: Suggested installation guide: https://www.linuxuprising.com/2021/02/how-to-install-fildem-global-menu-and.html

On Step 2, get release from this repo instead: https://github.com/Weather-OS/Fildem-v2

After Step 2, execute:

git clone https://github.com/Sominemo/Fildem-Gnome-45.git
cd Fildem-Gnome-45
sudo cp -r fildemGMenu@gonza.com ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/fildemGMenu@gonza.com

[!NOTE]
By default Fildem has “Show menu only when the mouse is over the panel” setting on, so it might appear like it’s not working. You need to hover over the title bar to see the menu, or you can disable this behavior in extension settings.

Re-login after installing

Same issue happening here. Would really love to see this working in the future.

Even after reloading the extension doesn't seem to work. Tried with Firefox, VSCode, Sublime Text, Discord, and yet it didn't worked with any of those.

Also, using Extension List, it appears as this:

Is there a way to get any feedback on what's not working with it? This way I feel we should be able to identify and possibly fix this issue.

[chaudharyjatin115]

i fixed it thanks for headsup

randomly gets item.get_first_child() is null after unlocking

[Anthony-Eid]

@chaudharyjatin115 Could you please tell me how you ended up fixing it? It's not working for me. Thanks!!

Edit: Is there prior setup that is needed for fresh installs of the extension? The read me states that you need to edit and create some files, but that information seems outdated.

Hi @Sominemo,

I am planning to make your current work to Arch AUR. I have tested it on my machine and your work to port it to Gnome 45 and 46 works perfect.

@rayzorben Can you just clone this repo and replace the package build file with this? https://github.com/chris4540/Fildem-Gnome-45/blob/test/pkgbuild/PKGBUILD

I remember I fixed this a bit a month ago.

Here is the makepkg log file for your reference makepkg-log.txt

This repo package file shall clone again, while it should not be, just comment the clone and update the build command should work.

I no longer get any errors in fildem, but I don't get any global menu bar which is what I am looking for (MacOS style menu in the top bar on gnome).

fildem-hud seems to work but this is all I get

[chris4540]

After installing the python package, you still need to install the gnome extensions and enable it

sudo cp -r fildemGMenu@gonza.com ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/
<re-login>
Go to the gnome extension app
Enable it using the GUI app

I was thinking of making the aur package that combined the python installation and the gnome extension, while I don't have time atm.

[rayzorben]

Yes I have done that as well

VS Code insiders doesn't work with global menu what can i do to add it to the compatibility menu or whatever the menu is called but i wanted this extension only for vs code or should i just uninstall the insiders version and work with the main version ?

[Sominemo]

Hi everyone,

Please consider asking your questions in discussions or issues.

Please avoid sending questions regarding specific app or distro support here.

I have notifications on and keep my eye on this pull request only regarding porting the extension part of Fildem to newer Gnome versions.

Thank you.

[ardinugrxha]

Hi @gonzaarcr there are many people, myself included, who want to use this feature. However, it is not supported with GNOME 46. Please consider this PR. Thank you.

[niceEli]

will this work in Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (gnome 46)

[Trevor-143]

Is it working on gnome 46? (fedora 40)

Let me try it as well. Thanks for letting us know

[Sominemo]

I just verified that the extension works with GNOME 47 on Fedora 41 Beta. Marking it as GNOME 47 compatible for now.

[Trevor-143]

Can you share some screen shots? I tried to do this and i was not successful. It showed in the extension manager but when i apply it it was not working

Personally, I have given up with Fildem, plus it is buggy. Instead, I created a new extension for Gnome Shell that reduces the Top Panel to the top right hand. And I use XFCE4 Panel with the Global Menu extension. I tried with Budgie Panel, but sometimes it crashes. XFCE4 is much more stable. This desktop uses my simple extension, plus JustPerfection for a few more settings and BlurMyShell. This extension has absolutely no settings at all to keep it as simple as possible in order to maintain compatibility with further Gnome updates. You can tweak the transparency and the size of the Gnome Panel manually by editing the code and the CSS.
