Installed tweak tool but I cant find the extension to get rid of activities replace it with the old style application list.

Is their an article here that would direct me? I really do not like the new gnome windows 10 style.

Install and activate GNOME shell extension Applications Menu from here. Visit this webpage via Firefox or Google Chrome, you'll be prompted to install a browser add-on/extension first. Install the add-on/extension and then you'll able to install Applications Menu just by clicking a button.

If you want to disable "Activities" button try Hide Activities Button extension.

If you want to disable hot-corner feature to show Activities overview try No Topleft Hot Corner extension.

Once installed you'll be able to manage extensions from the "Extensions" section of GNOME Tweak Tool.

  • not useful.. 'Although GNOME Shell integration extension is running, native host connector is not detected. Refer documentation for instructions about installing connector.' – razor May 14 '18 at 09:35
  • @razor What is "not useful"? If you just bothered to check the documentation it's referring to, you would have found out that one needs to install chrome-gnome-shell package (along with the browser extension) to be able to install and manage GNOME extensions from the browser. But then again I guess it's easier to comment "not useful" :-) – pomsky May 14 '18 at 09:37
  • yes, i bothered, i've installed 'chrome-gnome-shell' before, Chromium and Firefox display this error..... – razor May 14 '18 at 14:48
  • it looks like 'chrome-gnome-shell' needed python2, but not mentioned it in dependencies... ubuntu:GNOME – razor May 15 '18 at 09:25
  • @razor Ah! So that means you have made changes to your system which made that package ineffective? Then you'll have to fix that first. Or you can manually install extensions and manage them using GNOME Tweaks. – pomsky May 15 '18 at 16:25
  • did i ? i didn't remove python2, there was just python3 after fresh install – razor May 16 '18 at 08:43
