[FEATURE] GNOME 46 Support

Opened this issue · 9 comments

The latest LTS version of Ubuntu is launching w/ GNOME 46 this month, so it would be great to have this extension up-to-date on https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/906! It's really indispensable for the UX of my system, thank you.

or for the love of god somebody please fork it, lol

new versions of ubuntu & fedora have launched w/ gnome 46

I hear you... I wish I could help... I listen to music all day every day while I work, and this extension is a big part of my day...

Please!! give us a version for GNOME 46!!

In #263 the changes to support gnome 43 were fairly minimal... I have no prior experience with gnome extension development but do wonder if it's possible that just adding 46 to the list in the config file is all that is necessary.

Or whether there are likely to be more substantial changes required.

Unfortunately @FoamyGuy, in terms of visual layout at least, the top-right dropdown menu from the GNOME top bar this extension deals w/ is substantially different than previous versions' implementations, so the porting of this extension will likely be a little bit more involved than just changing a version number in a .json file. I could try, but I highly doubt it'll work at all. Unfortunately, I'm not a developer either.

So i am a developer (though not familiar with javascript) and i've had a quick look. From what i can tell the biggest change is that from gnome 45 the old import system has been deprecated so i'll look into updating the imports and see if everything works. Not sure how much time i will have to dedicate to this but if i get something that works or is close to i will update in here

Thank you @TheBlackKoala, you're a saint.
