classic gnome desktop

[tinny]

I was reading a review of Mint Bianca, and one commenter provided a clear detailed procedure for changing the SLAB-type menu back to classic Gnome. I would like to recover that procedure. Can anyone give me a link to the article?

Would someone in Mint forums kindly provide a detailed procedure for changing the menu back and forth between the two options.

I have read a general procedure here in forums, but that discussion was so casual and brief I couldnt follow it. Too many pronouns, not enough specifics, too much assumed and skipped.

Thanks

There's no complicated procedure involved. Right click on the panel-->Add to Panel-->Select Menu Bar-->Click Add. If you want one drop-down menu then select Main Menu instead. If you want to remove the Mint Menu then right-click on the Mint Menu and select remove from panel. You can use this procedure for any of the panel applets.

found it at DistroWatch:

If you don't like the default menu, (which I initially did not like and still have mixed feelings about);
Right-Click on "Bianca" on the Panel and select "Remove from Panel".
Bingo! It's gone.
Right-Click on an open spot on the panel and select "Add to Panel", scroll down and double-click on "Main Menu" or "Menu Bar"(which ever you like best), and Bingo! you have a new menu.
If you ever want the "slab" back, choose "Linux Mint Menu".
It's that simple. You have 3 choices.
I personally keep the "Linux Mint Menu" and "Main Menu" on my panel, so I can go either way I like.
The "Menu Bar" is identical to Ubuntu and most standard Gnome default menus.

Ah, that's much better. Now can you tell me how to put the panel on top, like in Ubuntu. The panel with menu is on the bottom right now.
