Hi,
First of all, let me apologize if this is the incorrect place to ask. I've asked on IRC and got little or no response that actually helped me.
In gnome 2 there was an amazing tool called hamster-applet. Now, since gnome 3 doesn't support applets anymore, i notice i'm missing functionality. Sure, the hamster-time-tracker program can be used stand-alone, but i really miss having a status in the top panel to see what the current activity is.
My question is, since i have absolutely no knowledge of javascript, is there anyone who could create a simple gnome-shell extension that displays the current activity (if any) in the top bar / panel?
Thanks in advance :)
kind regards,
Léon
Hi Léon,
I'm also an avid user of Hamster Applet and have been using it successfully in Gnome Shell.
I suggest you launch it using 'Time Tracker' and then look at the bottom right bar. If you have it setup to let you know an activity is currently running, it will remind you in the bottom middle.
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Clint

For some reason, this doesn't work for me. I have set it to remind me every 5 minutes, but no message is being displayed. Still, i would like it to keep the old functionality. That is, always display the status in a place where it's noticeable (eg. top middle of the screen).
Oh well. Maybe the author will find some time and adapt it for gnome-shell in a better way.
Thanks for your suggestion though, i appreciate it :)
kind regards,
