How to use `gsettings set` to configure GNOME shell extension called Arc Menu?
I would like to change the icon image of the arc-menu found in GNOME Tweak Tool > Extensions > Arc menu > Appearance > Customize menu button appearance > Button appearance.
However, I want to use the gsettings set command to achieve this, or any other equivalent cmdline commands to do so. Strange thing is that it is not visible in the Dconf Editor, i.e. /org/gnome/shell/extensions. Yet the Arc-menu is visible, it appears in both https://extensions.gnome.org/local/ and GNOME Tweak Tool > Extensions. What must I do next?
what happens is when you install this extension..
the directory [email protected] is installed here ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]
If you list the contents..
ls .local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]/schemas/
Example:
pratap@i7-4770:~$ ls .local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]/schemas/
gschemas.compiled org.gnome.shell.extensions.arc-menu.gschema.xml
pratap@i7-4770:~$
the gschema.xml file is here.. you need to copy this to $HOME/.local/share/glib-2.0/schemas/
Note: check the directory glib-2.0/schemas is already available under $HOME/.local/share/ or not. If not create the directory first.
cp .local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]/schemas/org.gnome.shell.extensions.arc-menu.gschema.xml .local/share/glib-2.0/schemas/
and then compile
glib-compile-schemas $HOME/.local/share/glib-2.0/schemas/
Once it is successfully compiled with the above command..
now you can use gsettings or dconf
Example:
pratap@i7-4770:~$ gsettings get org.gnome.shell.extensions.arc-menu custom-menu-button-icon
'/home/pratap/1.png'
pratap@i7-4770:~$ gsettings get org.gnome.shell.extensions.arc-menu menu-button-icon
'Custom_Icon'
pratap@i7-4770:~$
Please note that when ever you remove the Arc-Menu Extension via Ubuntu Software
remove the schemas file for this Arc-Menu $HOME/.local/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gnome.shell.extensions.arc-menu.gschema.xml
rm $HOME/.local/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gnome.shell.extensions.arc-menu.gschema.xml
and compile..
glib-compile-schemas $HOME/.local/share/glib-2.0/schemas/
