Is there a way to add something like an online Bitcoin to USD calculator to the Gnome desktop? I don't think the Software store has anything like that.

There is a gnome-shell-extension available for Gnome Shell that does this.


First, install gnome-tweak-tool, gnome-shell-extensions, and the gnome-shell-integration "native hosts" package chrome-gnome-shell by running the following commands in a terminal:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install gnome-tweak-tool gnome-shell-extensions chrome-gnome-shell

Reboot before you proceed.


Next, go to the bitcoin-markets official-gnome-shell-extension homepage and install the bitcoin-markets extension.

Finally, open the application "gnome-tweak-tool" (it might be listed as "tweaks") and click on the "extensions" tab on the left and make sure that the extension is enabled here (there should be a toggle switch for each extension listed).


Please post any errors or problems you encounter. Thanks!
