Installation

You can install it via https://extensions.gnome.org. Alternatively (or if you want an up-to-date version), download / clone the repository and run the scripts/build.sh script with the -i flag. Make sure to have gettext installed. If you've manually installed the extension, don't forget to reload GNOME Shell afterwards (by logging out). It's also on the AUR but that one isn't maintained me.

Translations

Translations (even just partial ones) are very welcome! If you are already familiar with how it works, feel free to directly open a pull request with a YOUR_LANG.po file at translations/. Don't worry, in case you don't know how to create a .po file. Just open an issue and I'll set everything up. You'll only need a text editor and your language skills :)
