|description=Starting with GNOME 3.8 Fallback is dead. Long live classic mode. Built with GNOME 3 technologies. Built as a set of extensions: each can be installed individually from extensions.gnome.org, and as a whole from distribution packages. Classic mode extensions are as supported as the core experience. Can be further tweaked from the extension config app. Classic mode is: application menu, task bar, traditional look, window list and more.

Description

Classic mode is an alternative desktop mode, which uses the same technologies as the standard GNOME session.

  1. Go to the login screen, either by logging out or by rebooting
  2. At the login screen, select a user
  3. In the bottom corner of the screen is a gear button - this opens the session menu. "GNOME Classic" should be listed as an option.

  5. Check that it is possible to launch applications and that the apps are organized into logical categories
  6. Check that it is possible to use the system calendar and notifications from the top bar
  7. Check that it is possible to use the system menu from the top bar
  8. Check that windows have minimize and maximize buttons

  10. Check that Alt+Tab shows windows instead of applications
  11. Check that it is possible to lock the screen and then unlock to get back into the session

Expected Results

Please file a bug for any obviously mistaken behavior during a general exploratory testing of classic mode.
