GNOME extension designed to reposition the clock on the right side of the panel.
Moveclock is a GNOME extension designed to reposition the clock on the right side of the panel. It was inspired by the Frippery Move Clock but has the ability to move the clock on either the left side of the System Menu or to the right corner, creating a look similar to macOS. Disabling the extension reverts the clock and status panel to their default positions. This addon was designed to be very simple, for more detailed control of the menu bar you might want to use Just Perfection or a similar extension. Moveclock is currently compatible with GNOME 46 and has been tested on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.
Ensure you log out and log back in after installation to allow the GNOME shell to update.
