Hi! I’m having a hard time finding info about ways to make the lower panel on my desktop do what I want. It seems it only allows me to pin application shortcuts to it. I’d like to add other things. I’m guessing this lower panel is a Gnome tweak, so I suppose I’d like to tweak the tweak. If anyone knows where this mysteriously wonderful lower panel comes from I can probably find docs on it. It has its own settings menu and I’ve explored those options in the GUI.

    Yeah, I know very little about GNOME in general. 🙃

    Thankfully, application menu entries are pretty standardized between desktop environments.
    It’s just a bunch of .desktop-files in /usr/share/applications/ and ~/.local/share/applications/. If you’re hard-core enough, you can do what Menu Editor does with just a run-off-the-mill text editor…

      Yes, that was what I was thinking about. It’s going to be what I have to do. However, I DID discover that the ArcMenu extension is adjacent to how I want things. You can put scripts and other files on it.
