hi
Completely agreed. I was actually hoping for a shell extensions item
in control center, maybe under personalization? It could list which
extensions you have installed, offer to update, remove, etc, and an
add button which would open a search box for you to type into. It
would search
extensions.gnome.org, present results, and allow you to
install them right from the window
Thanks

Another fun project would be to pick important settings from Tweak
Tool and merge them into gnome-control-center. We're not getting
requests for Tweak Tool because it's a good app (it's not), but
because gnome-control-center isn't good enough.
I agree that Tweak Tool doesn't need to be included by default.
It's dead simple to install with the gnome-software search
provider, and it's home to the settings that we *don't* want to be
offered to users. Anything we expect users to change belongs in
gnome-control-center.
I took a look through Tweak Tool and identified some candidates:
* I think there's a strong case to be made for having the other
background and lock screen settings in gnome-control-center. This
has been a longstanding complaint from users since the background
panel was redesigned in 3.6.
* Shell extensions: As long as we're going to offer them, we
shouldn't relegate them to Tweak Tool. Perhaps gnome-software would
be a better location than gnome-control-center, but either would be
better than Tweak Tool. (But the gnome-shell browser plugin is very
crashy at worst and unreliable at best, so we should fix that
first.)
* Fonts: Frequently-requested settings, since people have
extremely different preferences for how fonts should look. It'd be
good to have a fonts panel. This would be a big project, though.
* Power: The "power button action" and "when laptop lid is closed"
settings would be good to have in the Power panel. At least we
need the laptop lid setting; that's easy and commonly-requested.
* Top bar: Maybe show date in clock could live in the Date & Time
panel, where the 12/24 hour setting is.
Curious for thoughts on these (Bastien? Rui?). I'll file bugs if
they seem sane.
