gnome-shell extension: move Thunderbird indicator to the top panel

By analogy with moving Skype indicator to the top panel, I created extension, which allows to move Thunderbird indicator from system tray to the top panel:


0. Download archive from here.

1. $ tar -zxvf thunderbird_to_status_bar_v2.1.tar.gz

2. $ mv thunderbird.status@gnome-shell.rdiachenko.org ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions

3. Type 'r' in Alt+F2 prompt to restart Gnome shell

4. Install gnome-tweak-tool:

$ su -c "yum install gnome-tweak-tool"

5. Press Alt+F2 and type in 'gnome-tweak-tool'

6. Choose 'Shell Extensions' and switch on 'Thunderbird Status Icon Extension':


7. Type 'r' in Alt+F2 prompt to restart Gnome shell
