Examples for GNOME settings.

manage applications on startup in GNOME 3

Startup applications are automatically started when you log in. With the program gnome-tweaks you can easily manage startup applications.

After the program gnome-tweaks is installed

# dnf install gnome-tweaks

you can start it:

$ gnome-tweaks

The following picture shows the adding of an automatic start of a terminal emulation with the program gnome-tweaks after log in.

As well with the command gsettings you can also change the button-layout to add 'Minimize' and 'Maximize'

or check the setting:

extensions

By default shell extensions are disabled. So first you need to allow user-extensions , before you can use it.

The appropriate command to general switch on extensions is:

$ gsettings set org.gnome.shell disable-user-extensions false

My favorite extension is 'Dash to Dock'. Fedora provides the package gnome-shell-extension-dash-to-dock for it. By default this package is not installed with the GNOME desktop.

# dnf install -y gnome-shell-extension-dash-to-dock

login automatic

Edit the /etc/gdm/custom.conf file and make sure that the [daemon] section in the file specifies the following:

[daemon]
AutomaticLoginEnable=True
AutomaticLogin=username
