# Set GNOME Shell on Fire!

When I released the [Desktop Cube Extension](https://github.com/Schneegans/Desktop-Cube/), many people requested to revive one of the most useless features of Linux desktop history: Setting windows on fire! This extension is not only more useless than the cube, but it is also much more hacky. So I expect some bug! [Let's incinerate them all](https://github.com/Schneegans/Burn-My-Windows/issues)! ## Included Effects Name | Preview -----|-------- **Fire**
The classic effect inspired by Compiz. However, this is implemented using a GLSL shader and not with a particle system like in the old days. |

**Matrix**
Turn your windows into a shower of green letters! The color is actually configurable.

_Only available in GNOME Shell 40+_ |

**T-Rex Attack**
Destroy your windows with a series of violent slashes!

_Only available in GNOME Shell 40+_ |

**TV-Effect**
This is a very simple effect to demonstrate that this extension could also be used in a more professional environment. |

## Installation You can either install the Burn-My-Windows extension from extensions.gnome.org (a), download a stable release from GitHub (b) or clone the latest version directly with `git` (c). ### a) Installing from extensions.gnome.org This is the easiest way to install the Burn-My-Windows extension. Just head over to [extensions.gnome.org](https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/4679/burn-my-windows/) and flip the switch! If you want to use a more up-to-date version, you can try one of the methods listed below. ### b) Downloading a Stable Release Execute this command to download the latest stable release: ```bash wget https://github.com/Schneegans/Burn-My-Windows/releases/latest/download/burn-my-windows@schneegans.github.com.zip ``` Install it by executing the following command. If you have the Burn-My-Windows extension already installed and want to upgrade to the latest version, append the `--force` flag in order to overwrite existing installs of the Burn-My-Windows extension. ```bash gnome-extensions install burn-my-windows@schneegans.github.com.zip ``` Then restart GNOME Shell with Alt + F2, r + Enter. Or logout / login if you are on Wayland. Then you can enable the extension with the *Gnome Tweak Tool*, the *Extensions* application or with this command: ```bash gnome-extensions enable burn-my-windows@schneegans.github.com ``` ### c) Cloning the Latest Version with `git` You should **not** clone the Burn-My-Windows extension directly to the `~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions` directory as this may get overridden occasionally! Execute the clone command below where you want to have the source code of the extension. ```bash git clone https://github.com/Schneegans/Burn-My-Windows.git cd Burn-My-Windows ``` Now you will have to install the extension. The `make` command below compiles the locales, schemas and resources, creates a zip file of the extension and finally installs it with the `gnome-extensions` tool. ```bash make install ``` Then restart GNOME Shell with Alt + F2, r + Enter. Or logout / login if you are on Wayland. Then you can enable the extension with the *Gnome Tweak Tool*, the *Extensions* application or with this command: ```bash gnome-extensions enable burn-my-windows@schneegans.github.com ``` ## :octocat: I want to contribute! That's great! Here are some basic rulles to get you started: Commits should start with a Capital letter and should be written in present tense (e.g. __:tada: Add cool new feature__ instead of __:tada: Added cool new feature__). You should also start your commit message with **one** applicable emoji. This does not only look great but also makes you rethink what to add to a commit. Make many but small commits! Emoji | Description ------|------------ :tada: `:tada:` | When you added a cool new feature. :wrench: `:wrench:` | When you added a piece of code. :recycle: `:recycle:` | When you refactored a part of the code. :sparkles: `:sparkles:` | When you applied clang-format. :globe_with_meridians: `:globe_with_meridians:` | When you worked on translations. :art: `:art:` | When you improved / added assets like themes. :lipstick: `:lipstick:` | When you worked on the UI of the preferences dialog. :rocket: `:rocket:` | When you improved performance. :memo: `:memo:` | When you wrote documentation. :beetle: `:beetle:` | When you fixed a bug. :revolving_hearts: `:revolving_hearts:` | When a new sponsor is added or credits are updated. :heavy_check_mark: `:heavy_check_mark:` | When you worked on checks or adjusted the code to be compliant with them. :twisted_rightwards_arrows: `:twisted_rightwards_arrows:` | When you merged a branch. :fire: `:fire:` | When you removed something. :truck: `:truck:` | When you moved / renamed something.
