updates for GNOME 47 (gnome-shell 47.beta)

[razielanarki]

uses Cogl.Color instead of Clutter.Color as per https://gjs.guide/extensions/upgrading/gnome-shell-47.html#gjs

note: needs further testing:

there is one instance of new Cogl.Color({...}) that i had to change to a Cogl.Color.from_string(...) in appIcons.js#1053 (in _getRunningIndicatorColor()) as journalctl logged an

JS ERROR: TypeError: (intermediate value).Color is not a constructor

there for some reason.

There are 4 more instances of new Cogl.Color({...}) that i haven't really tested for:

• 2 in appIcon.js#1135-1136 (in _drawRunningIndicator(), when type == DOT_STYLE.METRO), and
• 2 in progress.js#408,414 (in _showProgressOverlay())

I had to do the same changes after an upgrade to Fedora 41, so I can confirm this is required and works well, as after the changes dash to panel works just fine.

Could you try to update this patch so that it works with both GNOME Shell 46 and 47?

I suppose something like:

import Clutter from 'gi://Clutter';
import Cogl from 'gi://Cogl';

//...

// TODO: Drop GNOME 46 backwards compatibility
const fallbackColor = Clutter.Color ?
    new Clutter.Color({ red: 82, green: 148, blue: 226, alpha: 255 }) :
    new Cogl.Color({ red: 82, green: 148, blue: 226, alpha: 255 });

and so on.

I'm pretty sure that before the Gnome update, there was an "Extensions" item in the panel context menu. But now it's gone.

In my case (ubuntu 24) dont show running apps indicator. I can`t see aplication is running or simply pinned to panel

[lufog]

@K1nHub, for me, the indicators are displayed correctly. I just manually patched the necessary files based on the diff from this pull request.

gnome-shell 1:47.0-1

[K1nHub]

@lufog i patched only 1 file. Which files are patched?

[lufog]

@K1nHub, just look at the diff in the Files changed tab.
