<title>What is GNOME Classic?</title>
<p><em>GNOME Classic</em> is a feature for users who prefer a more traditional
desktop experience. While <em>GNOME Classic</em> is based on <em>GNOME 3</em>
technologies, it provides a number of changes to the user interface, such as
the <gui xref="shell-terminology">Applications</gui> and
<gui xref="shell-terminology">Places</gui> menus on the top bar, and a window
list at the bottom of the screen.</p>
<p>You can use the <gui xref="shell-terminology">Applications</gui> menu on the
top bar to launch applications. The <em xref="shell-terminology">activities
overview</em> is available by selecting the <gui>Activities Overview</gui>
item from the menu.</p>
<p>To access the <em xref="shell-terminology">activities overview</em>, you
can also press the <key xref="keyboard-key-super">Super</key> key.</p>
<section id="gnome-classic-window-list">
<title>Window list</title>
<p>The window list at the bottom of the screen provides access to all your open
windows and applications and lets you quickly minimize and restore them.</p>
<p>At the right-hand side of the window list, GNOME displays a short
identifier for the current worskpace, such as <gui>1</gui> for the first
(top) workspace. In addition, the identifier also displays the total number
of available workspaces. To switch to a different workspace, you can click
the identifier and select the workspace you want to use from the menu.</p>
<p>If an application or a system component wants to get your attention, it
will display a blue icon at the right-hand side of the window list. Clicking
the blue icon shows the <link xref="shell-notifications">message tray</link>,
which lets you access all your notifications.</p>
