Hi, I am wondering if there is a way to get an older version of gnome shell, like the one that looked like this: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JSR8IC77Ub4/TGI7upt62cI/AAAAAAAAA38/Ls5TEoVDYdU/s1600/Screenshot-4.png
I used gnome shell beta about 8 months ago, and it looked like that. I just tried it again today and now it looks like: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/97/GNOME_Shell.png/800px-GNOME_Shell.png

The older search showed more information, I just don't like it anymore. Does anyone know at which version they changed it? Can I compile the older version from source? My guess also is that older distributions of Ubuntu still use the older gnome shell if you install it with apt. Is that true?

Thanks for all your help.

What extra info did it have? Have you looked at the Zeitgeist extensions (http://seilo.geekyogre.com/2011/10/gnome-shell-with-a-little-zeitgeist-extension-update/)?
