Till now I was working with Ubuntu 16.04, with classic GNOME flashback (I don't remember where did I install it from).

Now I moved finally to 20.04, and tried to install the same, but somehow it looks much less elegant to me.

While this is how it looks in 16.04:

This is how it looks after installing it on 20.04:

I wonder whether this is how it is, or should I install another package or something.

You have to try MATE as in Ubuntu MATE. Install it with

sudo apt update

sudo apt install ubuntu-mate-desktop^

then reboot, login to MATE session and enjoy classical traditional desktop without bells and whistles.

Customization is possible by running MATE Tweak after installation - you can switch Panel layout to Traditional layout (as in GNOME 2) -

or try more modern layouts which suite your needs.

Additional note:

you can make a screenshot with opened context menus by running MATE Screenshot with timeout in interactive mode by mate-screenshot -i command.
