The default “server with gui” install ends up without crucial items in the settings menu. There is no Appearance menu so you can’t switch to dark mode. You can’t reinstate minimize/maximize buttons etc. And how can I see installed extensions?

Thanks!

On my “Workstation” install, the Appearance tab is now in Gnome Tweaks, and the list of extensions is now in the extensions app.  
Check you have the packages installed

```auto
rpm -q gnome-extensions-app.x86_64
rpm -q gnome-tweaks.noarch

```

Thanks @gerry666uk that did the trick. Just a bit strange this is not installed by default. Thanks
