I know questions that sound like this one have been asked before, but none of the "solutions" are working for me. I am using Gnome Classic option.

  • I could not find any extension that does what I want.
  • I could not find any entry for gnome-panel in my dconfEditor

Will you please help me.

I installed Gnome 3 using sudo apt-get install ubuntu-gnome-desktop. I am talking of the panel visible in the following picture:

gnome3 classic - bottom panel

These are the list of extensions I have installed:

List of installed gnome shell extensions - part1 List of installed gnome shell extensions - part2

  • It is the Window List plugin the same one used in Gnome Shell standard session which comes within gnome-shell-extensions package. It's full name:

    window-list@gnome-shell-extensions.gcampax.github.com

    Installed in: /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/

  • What it seems happening is .. the Gnome Classic session use it as a required plugin. So it does ignore disabling it. (Using gnome-tweak-tool)

  • To get rid of it, move it somewhere else or delete it

    sudo rm -r /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/window-list@gnome-shell-extensions.gcampax.github.com

  • To re-enable it, copy it back or reinstall gnome-shell-extensions.

    sudo apt-get install --reinstall gnome-shell-extensions
user.dz

To check the current panels:

$ gsettings get org.gnome.gnome-panel.layout toplevel-id-list
['top-panel-0', 'bottom-panel-0']

Set the panel which you want to stay visible with Tried in Ubuntu 12.04:

$ gsettings set org.gnome.gnome-panel.layout toplevel-id-list "['top-panel-0']"

which will leave you with only the top-panel like you see in the snapshot below.

(With that done I wasn't able to Super + W or Alt + tab the minimized windows. But I haven't checked with other dock apps.. I suppose they'll work.)

To use both the panels again just run:

$ gsettings set org.gnome.gnome-panel.layout toplevel-id-list "['top-panel-0', 'bottom-panel-0']"

Apparently GNOME shows an option to delete panels on Alt + right click. On some machines it can be Alt + Super (the "windows" key) + right click. A menu should appear with the option to delete. If not, then I'm sorry.

EDIT: Didn't see the comment chain where you said that. weird stuff.

onwards ubuntu 17.xx

just rename the metadata.json file in 

/usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/window-list@gnome-shell-extensions.gcampax.github.com$

and restart the system it will be disabled.

You can get a JavaScript extension such as this one which removes the bottom bar: https://sourceforge.net/projects/removebottombar/files/gnome-shell-extension-remove-bottom-bar-3.2-1.src.tar.gz/download

Install gksu if it isn't already, then press Alt+F2 which opens a small window. Type 'gksu nautilus' (without the quotes) and navigate to usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/ , right-click window list and rename it. I named it window-lizt which disabled the extension.
