gnome-shell-extension-user-theme does not work.

Hello everyone,

I am having an interesting issue with using custom gnome-shell themes via the gnome-tweak-tool and user-theme extension on a fresh install today. It is showing as enabled in the shell extension list, but when trying to select a gnome-shell theme, it's grayed out and says extension is disable. All other theme options work correctly. Does anyone know what the problem might be?

thanks in advance.

Yes, there's a problem with the latest version of user theme package. See last post in this thread (post #75):
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=127459&p=3

Basically, you need to remove user theme extension, download the one specified in that post and install that instead, using pacman -U packagename

I just fixed that same problem on my machine less than 10 minutes ago

Thanks for the tip. So basically downgrading to the previous version worked. The current package that's available will need to be fixed, until then I am going to have to exclude it from updating.
