In short, it's useless but useful, and it just looks good.
The original interface of Centos7's classic mode is really unsatisfactory. The icons are large, the background is ugly, and the operable space looks small. It really makes people want to beautify it.
Desktop extensions you may need:

Overview:
(1) Choose the background image yourself.
(2) You can download your favorite theme, icon, cursor (mouse arrow) form from Gnome-look.org , decompress it and put it into the corresponding folder (the decompression code can be found (1 message) Xiaobai Guidance - Installation from Centos7 (Linux), IC618, SPECTER18, Caliber2019 to CMOS inverter simulation (6) process library PDK installation_Silent Sheep┈━═☆’s Blog-CSDN Blog) :
Cursor cursor (mouse arrow) theme location: /usr/share/icons/
Icon theme location: /usr/share/icons/
GTK/Applications main style (including windows, etc.) location: /usr/share/themes/
Just select it under Optimize .
You can also adjust fonts , etc.
(3) Open any folder, adjust the 67% of the figure (100% when not changed), and you can change the size of the desktop icon
(4) Execute the command in the terminal yum install gnome-shell-extension-dash-to-dock to install the "dash-to-dock" plug-in. The root mode is required to install the library file on the terminal. If it is under a personal account, sudo is required yum install gnome-shell-extension-dash-to-dock来完成安装。sudo用于操作root模式下才能运行的代码。
Although it can also be downloaded from the official website, I have used the discovery library file to download the most convenient way.
Dash-to-dock can realize a lower toolbar similar to the MacOS system. After modification, it can also be changed into a status bar similar to the lower part of Windows. It is much more beautiful than the lower workspace of Centos7.
After downloading, just activate it in the extension area.
The next step is to improve the Dash to Dock interface.
For specific matters, please see the reprinted article Dash to Dock installation and configuration (picture and text tutorial) - keatonlao - Blog Park (cnblogs.com)
(5) Finally, remove the bottom work area.
To modify the bottom taskbar, you need to modify the files. Enter the following folder, delete the /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/ directory, and rename or delete the folder [email protected].
I currently choose to change my name and add 1 after its original name. If you want to restore it, just change it back to the original name.
As for other extension components and beautification methods, you can explore them yourself, so I won’t repeat them here.
Finally, I will show you my beautification results. It looks much better than before (^_^).
Still the same sentence, useless but useful, just look good.
