wg-indicator's Issues

Gnome 41 support

Hello, can't install on Fedora 35 with Gnome 41

BW icon

Could you consider to switch (or to provide an option) on a black-white icon to better fit in the design of standard icons in Gnome Shell?
I'm actually using a personal version of the icon but I can't provide a PR except to just overwrite the actual one.

Support GNOME 42

I was hoping for native support of WireGuard in GNOME 42 / Fedora 36 but it seems this extension will be needed for another release cycle. Code changes seem to be needed as the extension GUI shows the following error when just adding version 42 to the manifest:

Object 0xc4083b28928 is not a subclass of GObject_Object, it's a Object

Doesn't seem to work on Gnome 40.4

Was working previously.

Multiple interfaces & up/down actions

The main request would be to have a click action to enable/disable the available interface/s. Other extensions manage the feature by means of sudo requests to handle the task. If the wireguard connection is configured as network manager virtual interface, it is possible to enable/disable the interface with a simple user command: nmcli connection up/down interface-name.

Would be possible to add a simple click action? The multi-interface question is related to the case where the interfaces are more than one. This could be managed with multiple-icons (with the interface name as tooltip) with click action to enable/disable the specific interface; another approach, as on other extensions, would be to show a single icon but with cascading menu.

silence logging to journal

Hi,
when using the extension, the journal log is spammed every second or so with the entries like

Apr 27 09:58:48 britten gnome-shell[35983]: wg0 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx wireguard wg0

(x-ed out the numbers because I have no idea of those breach privacy...). Would it be possible to make this extension work silently?

Shell 40

Just found you extension which seems to be a nice workaround until gnome-shell gets native support for WireGuard. I had to change the metadata.json to make it work on shell 40. Mind adding that version in addition?

GNOME 40: No property margin on GtkGrid

The extension was rejected on GNOME-Extensions because the settings menu doesn't open on GNOME 40:
