Bug Description

Ubuntu 19.10

1. In the Settings app, Dock(Dash) screen, there should be an "Application Menu Style" option. The user could select: Full screen, Horizontal, or Vertical.
2. The ability to choose the application menu style. I would prefer a horizontal applications menu.
3. A full screen application menu is the only option.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, we cannot work on this bug because your description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem.

We have instructions on debugging some types of problems at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures.

At a minimum, we need:
1. The specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem.
2. The behavior you expected.
3. The behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
Thanks!

Can you please clarify what part of the system you are referring to with "application menu"?

Maybe with a screenshot? Are you referring to the icon grid, which is full screen right now?

I'm referring to the icon grid. The horizontal/vertical bar could be resizable.

Thanks. I like your design mockups, particularly the vertical bar. I think this is worth suggesting to the Gnome Shell developers so please open a bug requesting the feature at:
