Let's say I'm on Ubtunu 20.04 and have a custom accessibility script that I can

  • start by running /opt/myTool/activate.sh
  • stop by running /opt/myTool/deactivate.sh.

Is there a way to register it to gnome accessibility menu in the top bar so it will appear as a toggle like the other tools such as "High Contrast", "Magnifier", "Screen Reader" etc?

  1. Download the gnome-shell-extension CustomAccessibilityButton from this github-link

  2. To install the extension from the Downloaded zip file, change directory to the downloaded location. for Example if the Downloaded file is in $HOME/Downloads

    cd $HOME/Downloads
gnome-extensions install CustomAccessibilityButton.zip

  3. From the installed Extensions Directory run the compile-schemas-script

    cd $HOME/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/Custom\ Accessibility\ Button/
./compile-schemas-script

  4. Refresh the gnome-shell with Alt+F2 – "r" – enter method or logout/login

  5. enable the extension

    gnome-extensions enable 'Custom Accessibility Button'

  6. Refresh the gnome-shell with Alt+F2 – "r" – enter method or logout/login

Now Custom Accessibility Button Should Appear.
