How to make Gnome 3 look and feel like Gnome 2 without Fallback Mode

[Jamwa]

1. Install the Gnome Shell Frippery extension

2. Disable overview displaying on mouse hovering on the top left corner by editing the file

/usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/panel.js:

this._corner = new Clutter.Rectangle({ width: 1,
                                       height: 1,
                                       opacity: 0,
                                       reactive: true });

Change reactive: true to reactive: false and it will disable the hot corner. You can still activate the overview screen by pressing the Super (Windows) key but I have noticed that this kills the bottom panel.
