A button that hide/show all the open windows on desktop

You can automatically install the extension from the website (automatic installation) or you can download the repo files (manual installation).

Automatic installation (best option):

• Install from webpage on gnome extension website.

Manual installation:

• Open a terminal and give the command

git clone https://github.com/amivaleo/Show-Desktop-Button.git ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/show-desktop-button@amivaleo

• Restart the gnome shell by rebooting or by logout&login or by pressing alt+f2 then writing r and pressing enter.

• Enable the extension in Tweaks.

If you'd like to translate the extension in your native language, you can

• download the file show-desktop-button.pot which is in the locale folder
• open it using Poedit or using any other software or by terminal
• translate the string in your language
• save and compile the translation
• rename the resulting file with extension .mo to show-desktop-button.mo
• send that file to me by opening an issue (in which you MUST specify the language short code, like it_IT, es_ES, en_US, etc) or by a pulling request
