Instructions to use gsettings are confusing

[andrewfader]

I propose a simpler set of instructions

cd ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/glassygnome@emiapwil/schemas
vim org.gnome.shell.extensions.glassy-gnome.gschema.xml

or use your favorite editor and add/edit rules as follows

[
(
['vlc'],
100,
100,
0
),
(
['.*'],
100,
80,
0
)
]

then run the following command and reload the extension

glib-compile-schemas .

You can reload the extension by toggling it on and off in the interface or running this in the extensions directory

gnome-shell extension-tool -r glassygnome@emiapwil
'glassygnome@emiapwil' reloaded.

I don't understand why this extension is not just using the global extension settings in /org/gnome/shell/extensions/extension-name/

[emiapwil]

@jcuenod I think it is because the extension is installed to the user's GNOME prefix (i.e., ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/) instead of the system's GNOME prefix (i.e., /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/). I imagine if it is installed there (which may require the root privilege) the setting should appear in /org/gnome/shell/extensions/. I can do a quick test later today.

Ahh, interesting. It would be great to set these things in a preferences window...

Let me see if I can make a simple preference window work this weekend.
