You can change gnome 3 to the old style by clicking your name in the upper right corner, click system settings, and look for system info, click system info, select graphics, and click “ON” for Force Fallback Mode. The button may not look like it says on but click the button next to OFF. I have not tried it yet but I think that’s how it works. You may need to log out or restart for the changes to take affect.

KDE was and is FAR more windows-like than GNOME ever has been…maybe
you should look at changing to it??
especially since GNOME 3 has taken such a radical departure from the
“traditional” desktop, it might be easier on you to opt for the more
traditional rather than beat the new 3 until it looks/acts more like
what you expect/want…

Those guys are not reading here. You might try the gnome mail list at
opensuse. There was also a recent “rant” in the project mail list.
Apparently, the new way is to select activities, and the panel on the left
should have icons for the opened applications. But if, for example, you
opened two xterms, there is no way to select one of them. And the top bar
only displays one xterm and offers to quit it if you click.
Cumbersome.
