24 Excellent GNOME Extensions (Updated)

Last Updated on June 12, 2023

This article has been superseded by 33 Excellent GNOME Extensions.

10. Internet Radio

This is a rather snazzy shell extension that lets you listen to internet radio streams with the minimum of fuss and bother. One of our favorite multimedia extensions.

The configure button lets you turn on title notifications, title notifications in the panel, play/stop media keys, volume adjustment slider in the menu, and enable it as a search provider. The playlist button lets you define which streams to show, edit stream information, delete streams, and play streams. Add new streams by clicking the + button. The latter option lets you show radio stations as search results in the GNOME overview.

There’s Cyrillic tag support, as well as a search online radio directory radio-browser.

11. ShellTile

ShellTile is a useful tiling window extension that lets you reorganize your windows.

Move a window over another one, holding down the Control key, and you’ll see the extension in action.

There’s grouped windows minimize, resize, raise and change workspace together. Maximize a window to remove it from the group.

12. Gno-Menu

We’ve tried to keep to a minimum extensions that offer similar functionality. But we’re happy to make an exception when it comes to application menus.

Gno-Menu is a traditional styled full featured Gnome-Shell apps-menu that aims to offer all the essentials in a simple uncluttered intuitive interface. There’s full support for user theme integration. There are view options, a search bar, a favorites panel, categories/workspace box, power options, selected app box, as well as a gear icon which launches GNOME Shell preferences.

We think that ArcMenu just shades Gno-Menu, but you may very well disagree.
