Hello,
I was following some instructions to apply a theme, which included enabling gnome extensions via the browser
obviously this then proceded to break various features - Topbar disappeared, Arc menu stopped working, Dash-to-dock disapeared, Importing settings didn’t work, …
I stepped away for a few days, and when I came back thought of Timeshifting to restore to before I started meddling with adding extensions, but I guess I missed the window of time or it just didn’t restore those elements
so a little more research and I’ve now realised that installing what I now realise were duplicates of extensions broke everything, but now I’m stuck with makeshift haphazard fixes and I still can’t import settings into extensions (so I can’t apply the nice themed look I was hoping to achieve which got me into this mess)
If I uninstall the duplicated extensions via the browser (eg Dash to Panel), they disapear completely, and they don’t show up in the manually installed extensions in Layout Settings tweaks
so after that long background intro … my question is:
I’d like to know if there’s a way to reset gnome settings and extensions to the defaults?
ideally reset gnome tweaks, layout settings, extensions, Arc Menu, Dash to Panel, Dash to Dock, top panel, …
My guess is
- remove the one’s I think I installed manually via browser,
- for the solutions from archived forum Dash to Dock not working in Gnome 3.36 - Newbie Corner - Manjaro Linux Forum
- then re-install them via pamac
Am asking this wonderful community if I’m on the right track, if there’s a list of default extensions, or if there’s a simpler was to reset gnome to original settings
Hope that makes sense & many thanks
