CentOS

I just installed Centos 7 on a Lenovo.
How do I add applications to the top menu .
I do this a lot with xfce4
I went to the gnome.org site and could not find docs to help with stable add ons.

thanks

Do you mean the .desktop files that are stored in /usr/share/applications/?

Thanks for the lines. No I actually mean how to I add an application icon to the top menu bar.

I don't know what the top menu means. I have an activities menu on the top left hand side of my desktop that has "icons" that I use to launch various programs. These "icons" match what is in the .desktop files in said location.

I also have some icons on the top right hand side of my desktop that are provided by various gnome3 extensions (including, volume, logout/poweroff/control center etc./weather report and umount removable drives).

Thanks again. With xfce4 it is easy to add a application to the top or bottom menu. Hopefully the image shows.

Those are done by adding what's called gnome shell extensions. I don't really know much about them, the ones I've seen all seem to be javascript.

See https://extensions.gnome.org/ for more info.

The one 1885 is looking for seems to be this one: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/ ... favorites/

BTW: One could install Xfce from epel repository.

I need to see if OpenStack will run under xfce4. I want to experiment with OpenStack
