Number one is the Axe Menu. It is like MGSE on steroids.
Number two is Window List extension which puts a task switcher on the Gnome tool bar.
Then add Move clock to right and the Hot-Corn-Dog extensions. Hot-Corn-Dog moves the hot corner to the bottom left. You can add other things like a notifications area and also turn on desktop icons if that is your want.
Result
Gnome Shell that mimics Cinnamon, but with the tool bar at the top.
So how is it going moving applets around in Gnome Shell? Dual panel layout coming around nicely? You can't make either one into the other anymore - and the closest to achieving it would be Cinnamon with a "Gnome Shell Overview" extension.GeneC wrote:+1GregE wrote:For those of us that still use Gnome Shell I have been playing with 3.4 and some new extensions from extensions.gnome.org

Just enable experimental and upgraded Gnome Shell to 3.4
Extensions Used
AXE (Mint menu clone)
Hot-Corn-Dog
Favorites
Move clock
Aalternative Status Menu
Remove User name
Remove Accessibility
Only thing missing is Weather. Going to see if the old one, or Mock's works in shell.
Virtually the same as Cinnamon but with overview.
Very nice.
Don't even see the need to bother with Cinnamon (but probably will )

BTW, another mention for Bolt: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/330/bolt/
That thing is awesome.
I only use a single top panel, so that works out"...Shell seems to have an edge at least for the way I use it. ..."
