Modification of the extensions wiki page

2011-04-26 Thread Thomas Bouffon
Hi, After a short discussion with Giovanni, I took the liberty of modifying the page http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/Extensions, to include per-extension documentation, and a few sexy screenshots. I'll fill the alternate-tab and auto-move-windows pages tomorrow. Cheers, Thomas ___

Hi all, The following is absolutely _not_ a criticism about the gnome-shell design, but more of a question of what I should do. - I know that the gnome-shell Alt Tab is made on purpose, but in my particular situation It's _highly_ disruptive. So I wrote an extension to set the old style one again.
