There still is no way to set a sound alarm for critical low power battery on GNOME settings. It does not matter if version 3.8.3 or 3.10 or Tweak Settings have been installed. Nether Shell Extensions known to get it.
Matter of fact, it would be a good GSOC project to make it available.

Thanks Ricardo for your commentary.
IMHO Gnome is getting pretty different from its past DE concept and perhaps it is loosing essential details for usability, in favour of new "bells and whistles" which are of scarce utility for many of old Gnome users.

Welcome Marco. I agree GNOME 3 now is very different from we used to use a few years ago. And the "pros" their developers are targeting Not always easy to appreciate. OTOH, GNOME 3 is work in progress from "scratch" and almost clean template. I don't think it has much in common with GNOME 2. Developer are re-building or re-writing many new lines of code. I hope we can soon have a nicer user experience. I don't think is going to be like the old times but different and still useful. It looks less modular as used to be and may be more like all-in- one DE (lock-in). I will always miss the old times (cube effects, different workspaces, etc...) Thanks to all above. On these days, I spend more time on KDE. It is powerful and highly configurable DE. And this is the way I love to work. It has several workspaces, activities, widgets,etc.. always available one click away or just there. Despite these features is not resouces hungry as many people think about. I hope it does not change soon. Anyway, LXDE, XFCE, and other minimalistic DE are available for those who need to take care with resouces or want customized approaches. Preferences are on the eyes of the beholder. :-D Regards, -- Ricardo Chung | Panama Member openSUSE Projects -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
