No windows showing on Windows list #8

When I click the monkey icon on the taskbar and select the drop-down menu "Windows", no actions happen and no drop-down list shows up, even though I have multiple windows open.

I am using Arch Linux with the gnome Desktop Environment and installed the extensions through Firefox and the package chrome-gnome-shell-extensions.

I am also having this issue on Manjaro. Gnome 3.30.1

Hi @KiloLiuton @Kivarnis please note a patch was provided some time ago and it was committed on the testing branch (v. 3).

Have you already tried to replace the v.2 with the latest version?

KiloLiuton commented 5 years ago

Hi @medenagan , thanks for the response. How can I force version v. 3? The readme file on the testing branch shows latest version as v. 2 to me. I recently tried reinstalling from the gnome shell extensions website but the problem persists.

medenagan commented 5 years ago

Hi @KiloLiuton, version 3 has not been submitted yet to the GNOME Shell Extensions team. An automatic installment is not available for now.

About the readme file, unfortunately it does not acknowledge these changes yet. But extension.js was updated and metadata.json shows v.3.

If you want to force the testing version being set up:

You need to find these two files on your system. You can look for their directory on a terminal with locate window-corner-preview@fabiomereu.it or you can press ALT + F2 from your desktop, type lg and choose Show source from the Extensions tab.

Normally the path is ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/window-corner-preview@fabiomereu.it.

You can just replace these 2 files mentioned above with their newer version and restart the shell by pressing ALT + F2 and typing R
