From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What's the use case of this extension? It might be too confusing for the users.
to scroll on the top panel to change volume, is the use case of course. I put the github link for reference.
I think only problem lies with the last line. Importing Volume is done differently now.
Do I miss something? I already can do that in the latest fedora natively.
that's neat. Can it also do this, natively? https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/6015/panelhideswindow/
No, the extension is needed for this
Ah I see now way you wanted the first extension. Natively you have to scroll on the right part of the panel around the volume icon to change the volume. Not in the middle of the panel
yeah okay so that's the same on GNOME on every distro. The icon is too small so it takes too long to get the mouse just right just to change the volume a bit.
You don't have to be exactly on the icon iirc, just on the right most component of the panel.
