# 🎨 Colorful Notification Icons
GNOME Shell applies a grayscale (symbolic) filter to notification icons by default.
This extension disables that behavior, allowing notification icons to keep their original colors.
## ✨ Features
- Removes the grayscale effect from notification icons.
- Works with **GNOME Shell 46 or later**.
## 🔧 Installation
1. Download the extension ZIP file.
2. Move it to `~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/`.
3. Extract the ZIP and ensure the folder name matches the UUID:
```bash
mv colorfulnotificationicons@pcha.zip ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/
cd ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/
unzip colorfulnotificationicons@pcha.zip
```
4. Enable the extension:
```bash
gnome-extensions enable colorfulnotificationicons@pcha
```
5. Restart GNOME Shell (`Alt + F2`, type `r`, and press Enter) or log out and log back in.
## 🛠️ Uninstallation
To remove the extension:
```bash
gnome-extensions disable colorfulnotificationicons@pcha
rm -rf ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/colorfulnotificationicons@pcha
```
