Can I configure XFCE or LXDE (the lightweight desktops) to look like this GNOME panel?

enter image description here

Note:

  • "dock-to-panel" on the left that shows favorite apps
  • starting apps not from the favorites adds them there temporarily
  • currently running apps are underlined
  • no separate list of currently running apps
  • "System Monitor" to the right shows CPU, RAM and network usage histories.

This answer is for XFCE

For the menu, add the whiskermenu plugin. You can change the icon to make it look like a grid.

For the dock, install xfce4-docklike-plugin, and add it to the panel. There is a PPA, so that you won't have to compile it yourself.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xubuntu-dev/extras
sudo apt update
sudo apt install xfce4-docklike-plugin

docklike-plugin

You can add a system monitor plugin to the panel (you can download prebuild .deb packages from here). Plugins for calendar, network, sound, and power are already available in XFCE.

Finally, change the color of the panel in the panel settings.
