[SOLVED] Add categories to gnome shell (within activities view)

vienswuer · 05-20-2014, 06:16 PM

There are some distros that bring this feature by default. Is it an extension? A shell specific version? Take a look at this screenshot: http://lavidaestux.files.wordpress.c...licaciones.png

Using the Tweak Tool, go to Extensions and enable Applications Menu.

I am referring to "activities view", not the menu. Thanks anyway.

'This is a feature that comes only with older versions of GNOME. The screenshot you are looking at is of an older version of GNOME Shell. In versions of GNOME prior to 3.8, there was a category selector on the right side as your screenshot shows. In GNOME 3.8, the category filter was removed and applications can now be launched using either a "Frequent" or "All" filter.' (Sneetsher from Askubuntu)
