When I released the Desktop Cube Extension, many people requested to revive one of the most useless features of Linux desktop history: Setting windows on fire! This extension is not only more useless than the cube, but it is also much more hacky. So I expect some bug! Let's incinerate them all!
Do you want to show that you love it too? You may become a sponsor for as little as 1$ / month! While coding new features is the most awesome way to contribute, providing financial support will help me stay motivated to invest my spare time to keep the project alive in the future.
You can either install the Burn-My-Windows extension from extensions.gnome.org (a), download a stable release
from GitHub (b) or clone the latest version directly with git
(c).
This is the easiest way to install the Burn-My-Windows extension. Just head over to extensions.gnome.org and flip the switch! If you want to use a more up-to-date version, you can try one of the methods listed below.
Execute this command to download the latest stable release:
wget https://github.com/Schneegans/Burn-My-Windows/releases/latest/download/[email protected]
Install it by executing the following command. If you have the Burn-My-Windows extension already installed and want to upgrade to
the latest version, append the --force
flag in order to overwrite existing installs of the Burn-My-Windows extension.
gnome-extensions install [email protected]
Then restart GNOME Shell with Alt + F2, r + Enter. Or logout / login if you are on Wayland. Then you can enable the extension with the Gnome Tweak Tool, the Extensions application or with this command:
gnome-extensions enable [email protected]
You should not clone the Burn-My-Windows extension directly to the ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions
directory as this may get overridden occasionally!
Execute the clone command below where you want to have the source code of the extension.
git clone https://github.com/Schneegans/Burn-My-Windows.git
cd Burn-My-Windows
Now you will have to install the extension.
The make
command below compiles the locales, schemas and resources, creates a zip file of the extension and finally installs it with the gnome-extensions
tool.
make install
Then restart GNOME Shell with Alt + F2, r + Enter. Or logout / login if you are on Wayland. Then you can enable the extension with the Gnome Tweak Tool, the Extensions application or with this command:
gnome-extensions enable [email protected]
That's great! Here are some basic rulles to get you started: Commits should start with a Capital letter and should be written in present tense (e.g. ๐ Add cool new feature instead of ๐ Added cool new feature). You should also start your commit message with one applicable emoji. This does not only look great but also makes you rethink what to add to a commit. Make many but small commits!
