I want move the clock and date bar (where Wi-Fi, sound, battery information is displayed) to the bottom of the screen. Can I do that? This is my actual bar. (My system is on Spanish so my browser is on Spanish too.)

  • You can use a different desktop environment. There are several with the characteristic you're asking for. – ChanganAuto May 16 '21 at 22:41

    You could look at the dash-to-panel gnome-shell-extension: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1160/dash-to-panel/ The "gnome-tweaks" app complements it nicely, perhaps install that one as well. – Levente May 16 '21 at 22:47

There are a few options here, all requiring, obviously, to install a Gnome Shell extension.

  • To do just what you want, i.e., move the bar to the bottom, install the extension BottomPanel by abstract. The extension Just Perfection by JustPerfection can do much more, but also includes an option to move the panel to the bottom. It is very well maintained and even works on the newest Gnome Shell 40.
  • A more invasive change would be to use the extension Dash to Panel by jderose9. This changes the setup to something resembling that of Windows 10. The bar moves to the bottom, and also includes the dock.

As someone who's completely new to ubuntu I had trouble with installing Just Perfection.From a little bit of digging I found that to use the "install" button I needed to first install the extension manager app. I found that here.

So for me the process was:

  1. Open the terminal and install extension manager

    sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt install gnome-shell-extension-manager

  2. Go to Just Perfection

  3. Install Just Perfection extension. It opens in the extension manager, or if it doesn't open just search for it in your apps. There it should be located and you can control it from there :)

  1. Your said so options are available when Just perfection window opened in maximized option.

  2. Got the desired time date , Battery percentage hidden(removed) after moving from default/Custom option to minimal/Super minimal.

The same is visible when we toggle to left corner of the display!!

Thanks and regards.
