Fedora 28 - No desktop-icons extension in tweak-tool

I just installed Fedora 28 with gnome 3.28.1

As home-shell and nautilus does not longer manage icons on desktop I tried to install this extension but after reboot I do not see it in extensions panel in tweak-tool.

I tried to place it in both ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/org.gnome.desktop-icons and /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/org.gnome.desktop-icons

Any help ?

Desktop is Still Empty

The extension was shown in gnome-tweaks but the desktop is still empty.

Can you tell me how to solve it?

Ability to change icons name color

How can I make name white color? I can't read the name of them.

Move build system into Makefile

@dady8889 with this commit i moved the build way into Makefile .. can you check it since all files are build and install correctly but i can't see the extension in tweak-tools.. i presume my typo error but after some research i'm not able to found it.

Thanks in advance
