Ubuntu – Gnome shell – Remove bottom panel

gnome

I have tried many solutions, but bottom bar is still there.

Tried with Tweak Tool but there's no option Remove bottom bar extension in this version.
Any help?

OS: Ubuntu 14.04

In order to remove bottom panel follow the below steps from Wey on the Arch Linux forums:

  • Edit /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/gnome-shell.css: Search for #message-tray and comment the block out with /* ... */. This will remove the black bar, but not the icons and their text.

  • Next go to /usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/messageTray.js: Search for ICON_SIZE (its in line 881 here) and set it to 0:

    ICON_SIZE: 0,

    About three lines below it states

    this.title = title;

    Make it

    this.title = '';

    This makes the whole thing disappear.

(OR) use yanir's solution from the same thread:

  • Edit /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/gnome-shell.css: Search for #message-tray and comment the block out with /* ... */. This will remove the black bar, but not the icons and their text.

  • edit /usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/messageTray.js the following way: (the last class at the end of the file)

    const SystemNotificationSource = new Lang.Class({
    Name: 'SystemNotificationSource',
    Extends: Source,
    _init: function() {
        this.parent(_("System Information"));
        this._setSummaryIcon(this.createNotificationIcon());
    },
    createNotificationIcon: function() {
//        return new St.Icon({ icon_name: 'dialog-information',
//                             icon_type: St.IconType.SYMBOLIC,
//                             icon_size: this.ICON_SIZE });
        return 0;
    },
    open: function() {
        this.destroy();
    }
});
