I've a version of TopIconsPlus which works with 3.30 here:
https://github.com/jwrdegoede/TopIcons-plus/tree/gnome-3-30
To use this git clone it and then add a symlink named
"~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/TopIcons@huttli"
pointed to the clone (and remove the old version from
"~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions").
Thanks! I see that the original author (phocean) who is linked from
extensions.gnome.org marked his version as unmaintained, and there are
several forks (yours and huttli's) that should be working. Could somebody
replace the non-working extension on
extensions.gnome.org with one of these
forks (of course if you or huttli are OK with it)?
