Hi all, The team of the Guadalinex distro (I'm included) already has a couple of extensions that transforms Gnome Shell into a "Gnome 2 / Windows-like" desktop. This is because an incoming version, called GECOS, addresses a very specific group of users. We develop two extensions, https://code.launchpad.net/~guadalinex-members/gnome-shell-extension-reflection/trunk https://code.launchpad.net/~guadalinex-members/gnome-shell-extension-windowslist/trunk and also use a modified version of the following: applications-menu, panel-favorites and move-clock https://code.launchpad.net/~guadalinex-members/gnome-shell-extension-applications-menu/gecos https://code.launchpad.net/~guadalinex-members/gnome-shell-extension-panel-favorites/gecos https://code.launchpad.net/~guadalinex-members/gnome-shell-extension-move-clock/gecos Hope this help you. -- Antonio Hernández
