Gnome 44 has been out for a very long time. Has the developer abandoned the project?

What are some good alternatives to this extension?

+1 This looks like exactly what I need - I am particularly interested in the 'spotlight' option, if it works as I think it must it would be brilliant (if you'll pardon the expression) - but it does nothing on my gnome 44.1 even when version checking is disabled.

A comment for Jiggle on Gnome Extension Store by SteveGoodenough read:

As a workaround for 43 you can

disable version check in gnome extensions (temp) with gsettings set org.gnome.shell disable-extension-version-validation true

install jiggle

edit ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]/metadata.json and add 43.1 to the version list

re-enable version check in gnome extensions (temp) with gsettings set org.gnome.shell disable-extension-version-validation false I'm hoping the dev picks up the PR to add support for 43 as it works fine

I just gave it a try, and everything seems working fine. Please add support for Gnome 43~44! 🥺

@XiaoPanPanKevinPan's suggestion does not work for me.

Doesn't seem to work as well on GNOME 45.0. it had passed over 5 different versions of gnome already.. it is safe to assume that this project has been abandoned...

Given that the project has been abandoned, do anyone have the technical insight to understand the specific circumstances in Gnome 44+ that breaks this plugin, even with version checks disabled?

If I knew what to go for, then I'd be happy to fork the project and make the changes myself.

is the developer still alive? 🤔
