I just installed your extension, but clicking on the settings button on the extension page in my browser does nothing at all.
I am afraid that this part does not work on my system (gnome-shell 3.4.1), this means it also will not work on many other peoples' system. Also I cannot work on the settings box if I have no access in the first place. So for now there is no use in persuing that route for my extensions' settings, maybe at gnome-shell 3.6 there is any use. The extension is mainly for my own use (scratching my own itch), but until I can offer a decent working extension with a decent working config, I will not distribute it to the world. Thanks for the suggestion, I probably will use the examples from your extension in a few months. -- (o_ //\ Regards, Groeten, V_/_ Bas Burger.
