Big Sur Menu for Gnome Desktop

This is a fork of "Poppy Menu" that I have modified adding some functions and decorations to make the menu more similar to the macOS menu in its Big Sur version and thus bring it to Gnome as an extension in the Shell.

Installation

There are two ways to install the extension on your distro with Gnome Desktop; the first is manually, the second, and easier, is the installation from the official page of Gnome extensions**

Manual Installation

To do a manual installation, all you have to do is download the extension from Big Sur Menu for Gnome Desktop and unzip the file to obtain a folder that you must move to the path:

/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/

To see the "/.local/" folder you need to access the hidden files and for that you must first press the "ctrl + h" keys or go to the Nautilus menu and check the "Show Hidden Files box.

Installation from Gnome Extensions

**SOON! When I have a little more time I will upload the extension to "Gnome Extesions" since I do not have an account yet on the page and I need to inform myself and read the information about the rules of the page to upload an extension. I will try to do it as soon as possible, so, a little bit of patience, thanks }; -]

NOTE
After moving the folder to the extensions path, restart the Gnome Shell, press "Alt + f2", then type "r" and "Enter", this will restart the shell and the extension will appear in "Tweak Tools".
If you are using Wayland, you will need to restart your session.
All this in case the extension does not appear in the list of extensions in "Tweak Tools" or in "Extensions"

I hope you enjoy this extension on your top panel and all its functions are useful in your everyday work, and Please report any problem to improve the extension };-]

I'm sorry to disappoint you, friends, I have also tried the extensions that are available for Global Menu, but none of them work correctly, I have been working on solving the problems that these extensions have but with the new versions of Gnome it is no longer possible to extract and separate the menu of the applications since it has a new design.

When I have a little time, I will upload a video on how I have configured each aspect and what are the extensions that I have used, because I am still working on some extensions, at the moment I only had time to upload this menu, but soon I will upload the extension of "System Tray" and a fork of "Dash to Dock" with floating dock and rounded edges, just have a little patience, I advance a little every time I have a little free time. So, a little patience, friends, you will soon have the extensions and other necessary things.

Thank you for your votes, they motivate and help a lot, thank you so much };-]

What do you use for the global menu and the system tray? This configuration might get me back into Gnome...
