\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Use Gnome Tweak tool and\/or Extensions app frequently? You can add them into top-right corner system menu<\/b> in Ubuntu 20.04, Ubuntu 22.04, and Ubuntu 24.04.<\/p>\n

Meaning you don’t have to search for and launch it every time from ‘Activities’ overview or ‘Show Applications’ screen. Like the built-in ‘Settings’ (Gnome Control Center), just click on top-right corner menu to launch your desired configuration tool.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is implemented by an extension called “Tweaks & Extensions in System Menu”, which support GNOME version so far up to v46. Sadly, not updated at the moment for GNOME 43 which is default in Ubuntu 22.10 & Fedora 37.<\/del><\/p>\n

Install the Extension to add system menu options<\/h3>\n

For Ubuntu 22.04 and higher<\/b>, first search for and install ‘Extension Manager’ from Ubuntu Software or App Center.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Install Extension Manager in Ubuntu 22.04+<\/p><\/div>\n

Then launch “Extension Manager” and use it to install the ‘Tweaks in system menu’ extension under ‘Browse’ tab.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Finally, switch back to ‘Installed’ tab, and click on gear button for that extension to open the configuration dialog. Where you can TURN ON\/OFF either option and set its position.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For Ubuntu 20.04<\/b> and old Ubuntu 18.04<\/b> (not tested), first open terminal by press Ctrl+Alt+T<\/b> shortcut key on keyboard. And, run command:<\/p>\n

sudo apt install chrome-gnome-shell<\/pre>\n
Then, use the ON\/OFF switch to install it via the link page below:<\/p>\n
