Extensions for HypeDE

HypeDE runs an unmodified GNOME Shell, so it can carry extensions. Some come with HypeDE and follow its theme; regular GNOME extensions work too.

Included

Dynamic Island

by RBXLU · DynamicLinux · GPL-3.0

Lives on the shelf as a capsule next to the launcher button, like “Now playing” on a Chromebook. It shows music, downloads, timers and screen recording; click it and it opens above the shelf.

  • Tabs: clipboard history, file shelf, AI chat, notes, text tools, system, weather, timer and a pet.
  • Tools: screenshot, screen recording, text from screen (OCR), colour picker, voice to text.
  • Matches your theme: colours, font, corners and animation speed come from HypeDE.
  • Open it with a click or Super+Alt+Space; turn it off in Settings → Personalization → Dynamic Island.

In Midnight — the capsule follows the theme.
GNOME extensions

Everything from extensions.gnome.org, when you want it.

GNOME extensions are off in the HypeDE session so that a setup made for regular GNOME cannot break the shelf. Turn them on in Settings → System preferences → GNOME services → GNOME extensions, then install them with Extension Manager or from extensions.gnome.org.

Work well

Clipboard managers, system monitors, caffeine, weather, sound output switchers, tiling helpers.

Conflict with the shelf

Dash to Dock, Dash to Panel and others that replace the top bar or the dock — HypeDE already moves those parts.

Supported versions

GNOME Shell 48–50, the same as HypeDE itself.

Want your extension to come with HypeDE?

Open an issue in hypede/hypede with a link to the repository. It needs a GPL-compatible licence and GNOME Shell 48–50. We fit it into the shelf and the theme, as we did with Dynamic Island, and credit you here and in the README.
