Port to Gnome 45

Hello! Gnome 45 introduces new ES-like imports. I tried to port it myself, but ExtensionUtils also changed.

Here's the migration guide: https://gjs.guide/extensions/upgrading/gnome-shell-45.html

Support Gnome 43

This would be great! Thanks! :)

Trim/scroll long event names

Add option to ignore all day events

Please add the ability to ignore all day events. It's confusing when there are holidays and birthdays.

Attached screenshot of the experience on 2023.06.14 which is an American federal holiday named Flag Day

Show "Ends in 1 hr" instead of "In 0 min"

Does not work with online calendar event

Hi,

Firstly, massive thanks for this extension, looks really promising

Then the issue 😆, most of my calendar events are saved inside my Google Calendar account. My Google is then synced to my Ubuntu, which then adds my events in Gnome Calendar. The issue is that the extension does not seems to be aware of those meetings.

On the following screenshot you can see that I have a meeting at 6PM and it's 5:35PM on my system, but the extension is showing Done for today!

For the test, I tried adding a "Test" event in the Personal calendar of Gnome Calendar, which was picked up instantly by the extension

Show approximate time

Hi. Thanks for an incredibly useful extension!

One change I would appreciate though, is if it could just show approximate time until the event. Instead of ticking down, changing the time every minute, it would be more calm if it could say for example "in ~3 hours". Maybe it could update every 15 minutes or every half hour. Or an option to select when it should update: Every minute, every 15 minutes, every 30 minutes, every hour.

Thanks!

issue closed

Hi this is a great extension but would be super nice to be able to see current event instead of the next event. This is because I use my calendar as a schedule so seeing the current event helps staying on task and knowing what I need to be doing.

Many thx

Deal with events starting at the same time

Show 🎉 icon when done for the day

Add settings panel with ability to change position of indicator

Move the text to the Activities overview (option)

Hi again.

The very useful thing about this extension is that it keeps you reminded of your next event. But having the reminder in your face at all times might not be the best option for everyone. I think a lot of people might only need that reminder from time to time, like for example when they open the Activities overview. Moving the text there, either by default or as an option, could be very nice for some people.

I've tried to make a simple mockup of how this could look here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Teams/Design/whiteboards/-/issues/16#note_1325532

Thanks again for your work! :)

Not compatible with Gnome Shell 44.x
