I've searched in Google and looked in another questions, but still I can't solve this problem! I want to install GNOME-shell theme. So I'm trying to enable user-theme-extension in GNOME tweak tool. But I can't enable it. It has a yellow triangle near it says
"extensions does not support shell version"
What should I do? How can I install GNOME shell themes?
you are using gnome-tweak tool....,following this step
1. Shell Extensions -> user theme Extension --> enable(on)
2. alt + f2 -> "r" -> enter
Backing to gnome-tweak, you go to the Theme. You will see a workable function of shell-theme.
Don't use firefox or chrome to install the add-on from the website, you should use the default gnome browser which goes by the names web and epiphany.
This means the gnome-shell version you are using is not matching with the version the extension was made for.
Are you on Ubuntu 12.04? the official gnome3 ppa doesn't provide the gnome-shell-extensions package for Precise(12.04). But the Gnome-shell testing ppa does. So you can try adding it to your list of repositories. But use caution because they are unstable builds.
You could try adding the webupd8 gnome3 ppa. This ppa has some of the best gnome-shell extensions, including the user-theme extension. you can add this ppa by typing the following in the terminal:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/gnome3
followed by:
sudo apt-get update
next try installing user-theme extension with:
sudo apt-get install gnome-shell-extensions-user-theme
This works for me on my version of gnome-shell, if it doesn't work please post your version of gnome-shell here.
source: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/10/official-gnome-shell-extensions.html
git clone git://git.gnome.org/gnome-shell-extensions then go in that directory cd gnome-shell-extensions then do ./autogen.sh –prefix=$HOME/.local – enable-extensions=”user-theme". Log out and in, and check if it works. this version should work with gnome-shell version 3.5.2 (there's not yet a version 3.5.3 available)
Search a ppa for your version of Ubuntu that contains the gnome-shell-extensions package: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas?name_filter=gnome-shell-extensions For Precise, https://launchpad.net/~noobslab/+archive/gnome works perfectly. Install this package, and the user-themes extensions from extensions.gnome.org will function correctly.
