This extension has been tested with Gnome 3.18+.
This extension manipulates the Gnome Main Panel, aka Top Bar. So, most other extensions which operate on the top bar should be compatible. For instance, to add intellihide behavior to the panel, try [Hide Top Bar](https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/545/hide-top-bar/). Or, to set the panel opacity, try [Dynamic Panel Transparency](https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1011/dynamic-panel-transparency/). If you'd like to add a traditional application menu, check out [Gno-Menu](https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/608/gnomenu/).

## FAQ
How do I add transparency to the panel? [Dynamic Panel Transparency](https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1011/dynamic-panel-transparency/)
How do I change workspaces by scrolling the mouse wheel in the empty space? [Top Panel Workspace Scroll](https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/701/top-panel-workspace-scroll/)
How do I add a traditional start menu? [Gno-Menu](https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/608/gnomenu/)
Why can't I put the panel vertically on the left or right of the display? Gnome-shell and it's numerous extensions add widgets to the panel. These widgets have been designed using padding and absolute positioning assuming a horizontal layout. At this point in time, I don't think it is possible to allow for a vertical layout and still maintain any sort of reasonable compatibility with many of the other features of Gnome.
