# Deskmeter GNOME Integration
Display your current deskmeter task in the GNOME panel or in a standalone window.
## Quick Start
### Task Window (No logout required)
```bash
# Run the task window with auto port detection
python3 task_window.py
# Make it always-on-top and visible on all workspaces
wmctrl -r "Deskmeter Task" -b add,above,sticky
```
### GNOME Extension (Requires logout)
Extension is already installed and enabled. Just log out and back in to activate it.
```bash
# Check status
gnome-extensions list --enabled | grep deskmeter
# View logs after login
journalctl --user -u org.gnome.Shell@wayland.service -f | grep deskmeter
```
## Features
-**Auto port detection** - Finds dmweb on ports 10001 or 10000
-**Workspace change detection** - Updates when you switch workspaces
-**Error handling** - Won't crash GNOME Shell if something fails
-**Minimal UI** - Clean display without window decorations
