ZmanBar is a GNOME Shell extension written in modern JavaScript (ESM) for the GJS environment. It integrates with core GNOME components by modifying the existing clock and calendar menu labels (St.Label) to include the Hebrew date. Date calculations are handled by an adapted version of the jewish-date library.
