32
<p>GNOME 3 features a completely reimagined user interface designed to
33
stay out of your way, minimize distractions, and help you get things done.
34
When you first log in, you will see an empty desktop and the top bar.</p>

<p>GNOME shell top bar</p>
40
<p>The top bar provides access to your windows and applications, your
41
calendar and appointments, and system properties like sound, networking,
42
and power. Under your name in the top bar, you can set your availability,
43
change your profile or settings, log out or switch users, or turn off your

55
<p>To access your windows and applications, click the <gui>Activities</gui>
56
button, or just throw your mouse pointer to the top-left hot corner.
57
You can also press the <link xref="windows-key">windows key</link> on
58
your keyboard. You can see your windows and applications in the overview.
59
You can also just start typing to search your applications, files, and

<media type="image" src="figures/shell-dash.png" width="51" height="300" style="floatstart floatleft">
66
<p>On the left of the overview, you will find the <em>dash</em>. The dash
67
shows you your favorite and running applications. Click any icon in the
68
dash to open that application. If the application is already running,
69
clicking the icon will bring up the most recently used window.</p>
71
<p>To pick a window in a running application, or to open a new window,
72
right-click on the application icon. You can also drag the icon to the
73
overview, or onto any workspace thumbnail on the right.</p>
75
<p>When you enter the overview, you will initially be in the windows overview.
76
This shows you live thumbnails of all the windows on the current workspace.
77
Click any window to focus that window and exit the overview. You can also
78
use the scroll wheel on your mouse to zoom in on any window thumbnail.</p>
80
<p>Click <gui>Applications</gui> to enter the applications overview. This
81
shows you all the applications installed on your computer. Click any
82
application to run it, or drag an application to the overview or onto
83
a workspace thumbnail. You can also drag an application onto the dash
84
to make it a favorite. Your favorite applications stay in the dash even
85
when they're not running, so you can access them quickly.</p>
