I am somewhat new to Ubuntu, and I've been tweaking the desktop to my liking quite a bit. My current main issue is the top bar, which yes, I have hidden. Hiding though, for me, isn't enough. I like seeing things like weather, time, and notifications, I just don't want that damned top bar. What I am looking to do is get rid of the top bar entirely, but keep certain elements like the date/time/notification display, weather, and activities tab on the desktop, preferably dragged and dropped wherever I please. I would also like to be able to edit/tweak these elements to change things like colors, icons, shapes, and sizes. Attached are a couple of images to show what I'm working with as well as a (butchered) image of what I want to have:
Here's what I have now, here's my currently installed extensions (including what is in use), and finally, what I want the display to look like (in a horridly butchered form).
I know a small bit about command-line usage, but not a lot, and so far all I have really tried have been different GNOME extensions. Does anybody know if there is a good way to move and tweak these top-bar elements? I apologize if this is a dumb or redundant question, I don't exactly know how to word it in a way that makes sense.
