Yaa101 - I often find it helpful to start gnome-shell from a terminal (gnome-shell --replace), in which case you can see stderr messages appear on it directly (much more logging information than the error console in looking glass). Also, from your code you can use 'log'/'print' to output to that terminal, whereas global.log only goes to the error console in the looking glass. ... >>> >> > Does somebody know where to find a proper reference on ST for >>> >> > gjs?

I find it isn't too hard to convert from the C function names to the JS function names - usually the class name becomes an object in the namespace (e.g. st_theme_context_get_for_stage -> St.ThemeContext.get_for_stage). If you can't find a documented function on the Javascript side I sometimes find it helpful to look to the corresponding .gir file (St-1.0.gir, I forget which package installs it though). >>> >> > For instance I want to know what CSS properties each ST element >>> >> > use. >From my experience, any CSS property that you can think of is more-or-less supported by the St objects. You can always test by doing (e.g.): object.set_style('color: red; background-color: blue'); // etc. Each call overrides the last. In terms of seeing what possibilities are out there, I found it useful to look at /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/gnome-shell.js which defines the styles for all the things used by gnome-shell. _______________________________________________ gnome-shell-list mailing list gnome-shell-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list
