I use gnome 3 in classic mode.

• rogerbinns 13y ago
  I'm using the Gnome 3.6 fallback mode. My main workstation has 4,000 sq cm of display across two monitors. I have found a taskbar is the least worst way of dealing with lots of windows, especially if there are multiple ones from the same app. It is important that the taskbar allow reordering and hover to raise (eg for drag and drop). Being horizontal also means that mouse travel distance isn't too far even from the furthest points - a problem for desktops that focus on the top left corner. I've repeatedly tried Gnome 3 shell and even the 3.8 classic mode. They always fail due to not having a functional taskbar. Notifications are also completely messed up - I can't figure out why you would want them hidden! Most bizarre are things like the system monitor being in the hidden notification area - in what way does that make any sense? I've tried other environments and just didn't like them - eg KDE (too busy), LXDE (too spartan), Cinnamon (I like other Gnome 3 advancements).
