Install gnome session fallback by entering following commands into the terminal.
You can also install the global appmenu (Appmenu) by entering the following commands in the terminal.
Once it is executed you can add more applets on the panel by hitting “[Win]+[Alt]+Right click” or “[ALT]+Right click” on panel.
Once installed you can logout from the current session and chooses the gnome-classic or gnome-classic(without effects) during the login. If you are low on hardware resource then it is better to run the gnome-classic without effects.
