|description=Starting with GNOME 3.8 Fallback is dead. Long live classic mode. Built with GNOME 3 technologies. Built as a set of extensions: each can be installed individually from extensions.gnome.org, and as a whole from distribution packages. Classic mode extensions are as supported as the core experience. Can be further tweaked from the extension config app. Classic mode is: application menu, task bar, traditional look, window list and more.

  1. Go to the login screen, either by logging out or by rebooting
  2. At the login screen, select a user
  3. In the bottom corner of the screen is a gear button - this opens the session menu. "GNOME Classic" should be listed as an option.

Expected Results

Please file a bug for any obviously mistaken behavior during a general exploratory testing of classic mode.
