Ever since Ubuntu ditched Unity and switched to Gnome3, I’ve been trying to\u00a0 get the correct combination of extensions to mimic my Unity experience. Throw into the mix a heavy usage of MacOS X over the last 2 years.\u00a0 After spending a considerable time with the gnome extensions, I’ve finally managed to get my desktop experience to a point where I can work with keyboard shortcuts without getting frustrated. Below is a screenshot of all extensions that I’ve installed.<\/p>\n

A few notable extensions :<\/h4>\n

Notification Centre\u00a0 – Helps move the notifications from the middle to the right side.
\nDynamic Panel Transparency –\u00a0 Improves the look and feel of Ubuntu desktop so much
\nScreenshot Tool – This makes taking screenshots so easy , especially the select Area function
\nNoAnnoyance – Apt name, remove the annoying Window is ready notification
\nPixel Saver – I prefer control buttons on the left, so this becomes a must for me to save some vertical screen real estate
\nMaximize to Workspace – Mimics the MacOS X maximized window feature to a good extent<\/p>\n
