Re: gnome 3.18 - Hide Activities bar extension.

Go into the directory "~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/". Look for the folder of your extension. Open the file "metadata.json" in the extension's folder. You will see a list of gnome-shell version numbers that are supported by the extension. Add a "3.18" and make sure to not make a mistake with the commas and brackets.

Re: gnome 3.18 - Hide Activities bar extension.

Or you can disable extension version validation in gnome-shell by running

dconf write /org/gnome/shell/disable-extension-version-validation true

in a terminal. This way you don't have to manually alter compatibility information each time gnome-shell has a new release.

Unfortunately I had uninstalled all extensions and now when I try to install it from extensions.gnome.org , popup shows with option to install but when i click it , nothing happens and when i check in ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/ it is empty , I also ran the command "dconf write /org/gnome/shell/disable-extension-version-validation true " and tried but still it does not install anything , gnome tweak tool too shows no extensions.

I found a script named "gnome-shell-extension-installer". It's in the AUR. I bet it will help you download those extensions.

Re: gnome 3.18 - Hide Activities bar extension.

Thanks , I found these extensions in backup and now it works partially, windows are now full screen, however activities bar is now on top of  these windows and is not hiding anymore, I can manage anyway, I need full screen windows when working with citrix as I have issues when clicking on mails in outlook , it does not point accurately if windows are not maximised.

Thanks for your assistance, I will keep this thread for a day , in case anyone wants to reply.
