Hi,
I've just upgraded from fedora23 to fedora24 on my desktop, and the fonts have changed. They now appear to be much smaller by default, and perhaps not as well-defined (anti-aliased?).
I don't even know where to start to troubleshoot this issue. I've been using Linux for decades, but haven't followed GNOME and font development.
Another issue relates to gnome-tweak-tool and GNOME extensions.
When the system is idle for a few minutes, the screensaver is enabled and a password is required to unlock it. I used gnome-tweak-tool in the past to disable this, but it's been enabled again.
Many of the extensions are disabled, and visiting extensions.gnome.org with Chrome says "We cannot detect a running copy of GNOME on this system, so some parts of the interface may be disabled," preventing me from installing any extensions or enabling the ones that are currently disabled.
When viewing the Appearance section, "Shell theme" is disabled with an exclamation point next to it.
What can I do to enable extensions in Chrome again?
Thanks, Alex

Were you ever able to use Chrome for this? There is a Firefox extension included with Gnome Shell that enables this. And you can use gnome-tweak-tool to enable the extensions that are already installed.

In gnome-tweak-tool, enable (install first if necessary) the User Themes extension. You may need to restart the tweak tool after enabling the extension.

This isn't really Fedora related, unless you actually mean something other than Google Chrome.

I get the same issue as this when using Firefox to access the site, but I can't determine whether or not the extension fixes the issue because even though I have the extension in /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins and a link to that extension in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins (which is where the upstream 64 bit Firefox requires it) Firefox is refusing to use the plugin at the moment, as it is with a number of other plugins (the only ones its using at the moment is the Adobe Flash plugin, which is linked to from both directories, and a plugin that is in my home location and is linked to from both directories.
Sam, when Gnome-tweak-tool refuses to enable an extension (only offers a remove button) and displays a grey triangle with an exclamation point in it, with a mouse over that says 'Extension Load Error', how does one determine why the extension won't load. The extension is Coverflow Alt-Tab, and implements an Alt-tab methodology that I would like to use (The methodology that I think this extension implements looks to be similar to the Alt-tab methodology offered by Compiz).

Thanks very much for the suggestions. I went through the options in Chrome and still didn't see anything directly related. Pop-ups were already enabled.
I didn't even think to use Firefox for some reason. Turns out it worked just fine, however.
