Why does Users Theme Extension not show up under Gnome Tweak Tool?

Comment converted to an answer
After installing the user theme extension, you should restart gnome-shell. Only then would the extension show up in the GNOME tweak tool.
To do that, press Alt + F2 and enter r in the dialog box. Now gnome-shell would restart and the extension will show up in the tweak tool.

I have want to use user themes for gnome shell, but I am having troubles. I installed the user theme extension, but it doesn't appear to show up under the gnome tweak tool. To confirm that I have the user themes extension installed, here is the feedback I get when I try to install it through terminal again:
sudo apt-get install gnome-shell-extensions-user-theme Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done gnome-shell-extensions-user-theme is already the newest version. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
I go under Shell Extensions and there is not option to enable User Themes.

Alin Andrei over 12 yearsDid you restart GNOME Shell after installing it? This is required for an extension to show up in GNOME Tweak Tool. Also, what PPA did you use?
-
egidra over 12 yearsYes, I forgot. I followed a guide on the internet, but I exited the tab. Do you think I can reinstall it somehow?

domih over 7 yearsI have a self created extension which was not showing up in gnome-tweak-tool. After changing the extension name in metadata.json and entering ALT+F2 and restarting gnome-shell with command "r" the extension showed up.
