GNOME Extensions

GNOME 3 features a unique extension system which allows you to install various add on packages within GNOME. These extensions can be used to fix a lot of the behaviour of GNOME 3 that many people do not like.

When you first login to a RHEL7 (Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 7) desktop you will be logged into ‘GNOME Classic’ which is GNOME 3 with a lot of extra GNOME extensions.

Finding and installing extensions

Open the Firefox web browser and navigate to extensions.gnome.org

The website itself is used to find and install extensions.

Once installed you can open the GNOME Tweak Tool to configure extensions.
