For this you can use the Tweek Tool. My utility was not installed initially, but it can be installed via yum. Next, open: Tweek Tool -> File Manager -> Put a check mark (it is there alone).
And on the screenshot - Tweak Tool:
After that, all the files that you had on your desktop finally appear there. In addition, the context menu call from the desktop also works.
You can find all of them here: gnome-shell-extension . With the installation on the site is very clear.
For example, System Monitor Extension is put by several commands:
Only one note: I didn’t have a Gnome Shell Weather Extension. After installing it, the Gnome shell stopped running. In general, the problem with him has not yet decided. Everything else works fine!

Good luck!

Various extensions
You can find all of them here: gnome-shell-extension . With the installation on the site is very clear.
For example, System Monitor Extension is put by several commands:
mkdir ~/git_projects
cd ~/git_projects
git clone git://github.com/paradoxxxzero/gnome-shell-system-monitor-applet.git
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions
cd ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions
ln -s ~/git_projects/gnome-shell-system-monitor-applet/system-monitor@paradoxxx.zero.gmail.com
sudo cp ~/git_projects/gnome-shell-system-monitor-applet/org.gnome.shell.extensions.system-monitor.gschema.xml /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas
cd /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas
sudo glib-compile-schemas .Only one note: I didn’t have a Gnome Shell Weather Extension. After installing it, the Gnome shell stopped running. In general, the problem with him has not yet decided. Everything else works fine!
