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

Have many extensions installed on your GNOME desktop? Here’s a new tool to help managing them with a more efficient way.<\/p>\n

Without launching Gnome Extensions app or Extension Manager every time, the new “Glass Grid” allows user to either press a keyboard shortcut or click the indicator on panel<\/b> to quickly trigger an overview of all the installed extensions.<\/p>\n

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

Then, user can either click on extension name to open its preference dialog. Or, use the buttons right beside them to turn on\/off, refresh or configure extensions. There’s also a global ON\/OFF switch in top-right to toggle all extension with one click. If you have too many extensions more than a page capacity, it supports scrolling horizontally with either mouse or keyboard arrow keys.<\/p>\n

The extension grid view can be triggered either via keyboard shortcut or indicator applet. And, it will disappear when pressing Esc or clicking anywhere outside. It has a dark mode layout, and support quick launching extensions.gnome.org<\/a> and Gnome Extensions app (if installed) via header buttons.<\/p>\n
