    [SOLVED] Need help to customize panel/bar in Gnome

    Hi,

    I wanted to ask if there is a way to move the button "Show Applications" at the bottom of the left panel to the top bar. Is there any extension or editing some config file that can do that?

    I appreciate very much your help!

    You can't move it to the top bar as far as I know, but can move it to the top of the dock.
    Install Dash to Dock Extension, then
    Launchers Tab > Move Applicatiions Icon to Beginning of Dock

    Thank you both for your quick replies.

    Both the method linked to by CelticWarrior, using dconf-editor, and the one suggested by Dennis N work and definitly moves the Application icon to the top of the dock. Thank you both for pointing it out to me. I wish there were a way of putting it on the top bar, so if you come by a method to do that, I will be more than happy to implement it.

    Not sure if the dash to panel extension will help. It combines the dock and panel and has a number of settings.

    You're right. It includes the "Show Applications".

    This was really nice, better than I could wish for. It does exactly what I wanted and more.

    Thank you so much Frogs Hair for bringing it up!

    (I'll mark this one SOLVED)
