Review of "WACK - Sonoma Lockscreen" version 1.6.0 (20)

Details Page Preview

macOS Sonoma-inspired lock screen for GNOME Shell. Part of the WACK Project. What's new in v1.6.0: - Lockscreen Messages, allows you to put custom messages on the lockscreen, e.g "Timothy's ThinkPad, call the police if found" - Prompt Vibrancy, emulates gaussian blur for the password field with a simpler solution that samples the colors of the wallpaper beneath the password field. - Sneak Peek of the [PRO] upgrade. Check GitHub repo to learn how to upgrade your copy of WSL, totally FREE of charge. - Unlock Crossfade is now strictly coupled with WACK Shell [BETA], that enables windows to fade in upon unlock, no longer just the panel sliding down and clock fading out. WACK Shell is currently only available on GitHub.

What's new in v1.6.0: Optionals: - GDM Expansion options: Since EGO does not allow for Extensions that utilise gdm session-modes, and that Sonoma GDM layout has been in development for quite some time, i have added rows in prefs if anyone would want to try out the GDM feature. Alongside its installation with curl, it is also possible to revert and uninstall with curl command provided in prefs. The extension dynamically loads and checks whether gdm.js and crossSessionManager.js (these are main components for the GDM Expansion) exist, if they don't the extension would keep functioning normally. - WACK Shell Integration: for those who want the full Unlock Crossfade experience, prefs now also provides an option to install WACK Shell (BETA) via repo clone or curl. WACK Shell is still in late stages of its development, so it would help for potential testers to try this out before i fix things up and ship it here. - Multi Monitor bug fixes and stability improvements, thanks to github.com/frjr17 - New Features: Lockscreen Messages, and Prompt Vibrancy (Cupertino mode only)

Didn't review all files after seeing the line touching the dconf GDM file (line 36 `prefs.js`). You should never do that. If the extension really wants to run on GDM, it should be distributed on other platforms since EGO doesn't host GDM extensions. Also, bypassing EGO rules for extensions installed from here isn't something the user expects.

I have removed the lines probing for GDM and dconf overrides in my extension, and have uploaded it here. As per your instruction, the version with GDM features is now entirely on GitHub.
