# GNOME shell extension NASA APOD

Let this simple GNOME shell extension change your wallpaper every day to the

NASA's Astronomy Picture Of the Day. It will also show a notification

containing the title and the explanation of the image.

Tested and developed on NixOS, GNOME 42 (please, always refer to `metadata.json`

to check if the main branch actually works on your older GNOME shell).
