Cannot change panel top bar title using Gnome extension (Ubuntu 22.04.2)

um flag

I am trying to change the top bar title, as follows:

I have installed the "panel date format" Gnome extension:

https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1462/panel-date-format

Then:

~$ gnome-extensions enable [email protected]

returned with no error message. Then:

dconf write /org/gnome/shell/extensions/panel-date-format/format "'%A %-d %B %Y %k:%M (%:z)'"

returned with no error; but there is no change at the top bar title.

~$ gnome-shell --version
GNOME Shell 42.5

When opening dconf-editor, it shows, under the title:

/org/gnome/shell/extensions/panel-date-format/format

No schema is available. A schema is what describes the use of a key, and dconf editor cannot find one associated with this key. If the application that was using this key has been uninstalled, or if this key is obsolete, you may want to erase it

Defined by: Dconf backend

Current value: %A %-d %B %Y %k:%M (%:z)

This was fixed according to: https://lukastrumm.com/notes/gnome-settings-schema/

sudo cp -v /home/user/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]/schemas/org.gnome.shell.extensions.panel-date-format.gschema.xml /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/
sudo glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/

and now dconf-editor is not complaining about an error; but still, the top panel bar title is not changing!

System: Ubuntu 22.04.2; Linux 5.19.0-41-generic #42~22.04.1-Ubuntu

Sounds like a good question for the people that made the extension.
I sit in a Tesla and translated this thread with Ai:

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
