Hi there, this is what my taskbar looks like and I am not able to turn off the button that says applications + it isn't doing anything it just displays the apps like the Zoing logo but without the search bar.
I tried to remove it in the taskbar settings but that removes both or none.
which means nothing to me since I just moved to linux and I am pretty darn new to this. Perhaps you understand more. I also posted this on the github page.
Right click on the taskbar for panel properties, then choose layout and then remove the application plugin. It can also be done by right clicking on it and selecting remove plugin/extension.
Yes i have that also. He must something double or changed on taskbar settings. Your solutions is correct. It also comes if he installing example de with zorin-core-desktop-full then also could be double.
I think it has something to do with extensions manager. I just played around with it and noticed the zorin symbol disappear but not the (applications button) that's what I am calling the annoying thing that acts like the zorin logo but with no function.
I also noticed that there is the zorin appindicator giving me this error:
Gio.IOErrorEnum: An object is already exported for the interface org.kde.StatusNotifierWatcher at /StatusNotifierWatcher
and I get the ubuntu appindicator error:
Gio.IOErrorEnum: An object is already exported for the interface org.kde.StatusNotifierWatcher at /StatusNotifierWatcher
Did you using before any testing kde or another DE desktop?
I remember when i have some problems i clicked on apperance Zorin then choose some another DE from Zorin and then all back to default. That means when you choosing some DE from Zorin this propably reseting all things for default. Did you tried that? If not propably some settings or software could do that problem also.
have you checked ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/ to see if that extensions is installed?
If it is installed in Root, it would be /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/
Ok, I think at this point, we can presume that the warnings for that extension are unrelated and harmless.
There are lots of apps that throw warnings when things don't go their way...
What you could try is disabling ALL gnome extensions (temporarily) to see if the applications item vanishes from the panel.
If it does, we then know it is an extension.
Re-enable extensions one by one until it reappears- showing which extensions is responsible.
Yep that fixed it. I guess coming from mac and then windows to linux I get overwhelmed with the amount of things you can do here. I just had to go to my extensions manager and toggle of the application menu. Doh.
