How to revert to GNOME Classic?
I installed gnome because I liked the old gnome, but I installed Gnome 3, and even when I go into gnome classic, I can't right click the top and bottom bars and customize them like I used to do in Ver 11 (or 10... I'm not exactly sure... but it wasn't 12) of Ubuntu. Anyway to revert back?
I'm in 12.04
You are in GNOME Classic session which uses compiz for effects. Compiz disabled those options. To add the icons do the following
Login to "Gnome-Classic (No effect)" session
Press and Hold the Alt
While holding Alt key, right click on the top panel
Select "Add to panel"
Choose "Application launcher"
Click on the "Forward" button at the bottom.
Select the desired application icon from the list. You can add a complete category such as "Sound & Video" to the panel!
Click "Add" button or double click the Application entry.
You're done. Now login again to Gnome-Classic (with effect) session. It should now include the icons in top panel.
