Do you like GNOME default panel

[RicardoVarasSantana]

Hey!

When I installed openSUSE with the GNOME DE, I found it absolutely different from other distro's GNOME. Really didn't like it and spent some time looking up for a way to change the main menu. I succeeded . One thing that I find not so cool for me are all those items in the main menu, but editing it is no big deal.

So, what are your thoughts of the default GNOME for openSUSE?

I made a mistake on this poll name. I wrote GNOME default theme and should have been "GNOME default panel". I cannot edit the poll so that's it. I am sorry.

Could you write here, how to do it correctly?
I really do not like it, but do not know how to change it.

Thank you.

Thank you so much. I have found opensuse comomunity very warm, so that's one of the reasons I'm staying.

You have to add (if you wish) a new panel, it'll appear on top of the screen. Then Right click and choose Add to panel. Look up for the custom menu (not the main menu), and there you go

i kinda like the default gnome main-menu. it is different. and it takes a bit of getting used to, but it is not as boring as the Applications | Places | System one. yes, a bit user-unfriendly at times, but refreshingly different. i am sure a lot of thought went into choosing the main menu as default for opensuse....and for good reason.
one of them i think, is the fact that the desktop search tool "beagle" works from the menu itself. i use the search tool all the time. it is really handy. with the normal custom-menu, that feature is not there.

I don't find it boring, maybe because I have been using it ever since I started with GNOME. To me it's well designed, yet not as "fun" as KDE's kickoff menu style .

I believe that too. I'd like to know the reasons for , however have not checked if it's possible to add a beagle applet to the panel.

I am not a big GNOME fan, but if I must use it I prefer the defaults from gnome.org.

I like to keep only one panel on my desktop. and many applets mean much space is taken. i mean if one has the menu + window list + workspace switch + system tray (with further applets), a lot of space is used up. i like it clean and simple.
