Extension fails to load in GNOME 3.32

See original GitHub issue

The usual! 😄, GNOME isn’t exactly friendly with extensions backwards compat, eh 😕.

Here are the errors I see in journalctl:

gnome-shell[19665]: JS ERROR: TypeError: label is undefined

gnome-shell[19665]: Some code called array.toString() on a Uint8Array instance. Previously this would have interpreted the bytes of the array as a string, but that is nonstandard. In the future this will return the bytes as comma-separated digits. For the time being, the old behavior has been preserved, but please fix your code anyway to explicitly call ByteArray.toString(array).
                    (Note that array.toString() may have been called implicitly.)

I’m using the latest version available on extensions.gnome.org.

EDIT: new extension https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1732/gtk-title-bar/ (github) seems to do the job.

In addition to already-mentioned extension “Unite” (which works but may be too invasive, as it tries to replicate Ubuntu’s Unity feel), I just found extension GTK Title Bar - Remove Title Bar for non-GTK Software / https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1732/gtk-title-bar/ , which is weirdly named but seems to do the job very well under 3.32 🙂.

I have fixed this issue in my extension (unite) and this is the final solution: https://github.com/hardpixel/unite-shell/blob/master/unite%40hardpixel.eu/modules/windowDecoration.js#L86
