Re: Shutdown Options

[Gabriel Rossetti <rossetti gabriel gmail com>]

Hi Jason,

welcome :-)

I don't understand, you are a web developer so writing extensions shouldn't scare you as it uses the same technology :-). The hardest part is the lack of documentation, but you can look at the GS code that is here for guidance, that is what I do:

/usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/

Depending on what you want to do, it may only take a line or two of code.

Best of luck,
Gabriel

I'm new to the list, so I guess I could introduce myself.  My name is Jason and I've been an avid Ubuntu user since Dapper Drake.  Professionally, I am a Microsoft Web developer doing contract work.  At night, however, I have been tinkering with Linux programming for a few years.  After a hiatus from Ubuntu after the release of Gnome 3 (I wasn't an early adopter), I have recently started toying with ideas for extending Gnome 3.

So now for the reason of this post.  I've got an idea about a shutdown option, but after downloading the Gnome-shell source, I immediately realized that I'm not prepared to create an HTML5/_javascript_ extension.  Would anyone here have any advice for me?  If I could simply make a recommendation, then that would be enough for me to know that someone else might be able to make an extension that addresses my idea into a reality..
