GNOME offers support for changing/overhauling the user interface (GNOME Shell) through the use of ''[https://extensions.gnome.org/about/ Extensions].'' Extensions are bundles of third-party [https://gjs.guide/extensions/ GJS] modules that are loaded while GNOME is running to augment the user experience. A repository of GNOME extensions can be found on GNOME's official [https://extensions.gnome.org/ webpage] and can be installed imperatively if needed by unpacking the extension in <code>~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions</code> directory. Extensions can only be activated if it supports the GNOME release that it's installed alongside with.

~~However~~, ~~Nix~~ automatically packages all available GNOME extensions under the <code>pkgs.gnomeExtensions</code> attribute. Extensions which require additional dependencies are then manually packaged if needed. Installed extensions can be enabled graphically through the built-in "Extensions" application or through the <code>gnome-extensions</code> command line interface.

In addition, NixOS automatically packages all officially available GNOME extensions under the <code>pkgs.gnomeExtensions</code> attribute. Extensions which require additional dependencies are then manually packaged if needed. Installed extensions can be enabled graphically through the built-in "Extensions" application or through the <code>gnome-extensions</code> command line interface.
