Finally! Remove the bottom bar (panel) from Gnome Shell.

Here is a little extension I made for Gnome Shell. It removes the Message tray (bottom bar). I recommend to use with gnome-shell-gnome2-notifications extension by rcmorano so that you can see all your notification icons in the top bar. Have fun.

  2. Great, just like in Windows to setup basic stuff I must to download some 3rd party stuff which may or may not work or be supported in future – fricking great… but hey! this is gnome, you gnome users should be glad of having no choice because you love “simplicity”! so why there is so much gnome-shell addons in the recent past?

    • As a Gnome 2 user I disagree. I think Gnome 2 offers me a good balance of flexibility and simplicity. I’m going to avoid Gnome 3 for as long as I can because of this.

        • I know that, but you said “you gnome users should be glad of having no choice because you love ‘simplicity’!” and I as a Gnome user disagree with that. I’m sure there are plenty of Gnome users who would stick with Gnome 2, given that there is an active Gnome 2 fork supported by GNU/Linux Mint.

  3. I like Gnome 3. Quit whining, Gnome 3.2 is not nearly as bad as people say these days. Yes, it’s odd to have some tray icons repeated at the bottom AND at the top (keyboard switcher, bluetooth icon). But that’s really just a minor oddity and perhaps due to me using Gnome 3 on Ubuntu, a distribution that doesn’t spend much time (if at all) on the Gnome 3 experience.

    Come to think of it, Linux Mint 12 is worse, because they repeat the entire application launch interface at the top right, and then their own on the bottom left. That’s just coo-koo bat-shit crazy.

    And to Unity there’s no comparison at all. Gnome 3 is **VASTLY** more mature than Unity, which at this time is really a pre-Beta steaming heap.
