Gnome Shell Extension disables highlight?
ru flag

Zack here. I have installed a gnome extension: Panel Date Format. I put in my settings and all that, and next thing I know, my clock no longer highlights when I hover over it. It's not anything with my theme, because when I disable the extension, it highlights again. Is there a way to mod the extension to make it highlight on hover again? GNOME version is 40.4. Thanks

Any alternative to the gnome3 desktop-profile-manager extension?

I am looking for a way to easily change profiles between three environments with different monitor setups, I regularly plug my laptop in.

Currently I have 3 monitors.xml files, that I switch each time via cli, but this extension: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/688/display-profile-manager/

Any known alternatives?

Trying to update the extension invariably leads to the ubiquitous red "ERROR" message on the extension list (and a defunct extension).
