Gnome Tweaks in Ubuntu 19.04

Selecting "Top Bar -> Application Menu", there is no way to hide the app menu.

I suppose this happens because the app menu has been changed in the latest Gnome Shell version and that's why the switch has no effect.

Unfortunately this won't be fixed as GNOME-Shell no longer supports the option to hide it. The toggle still needs to be removed from Tweaks.

As an alternative solution, this extension has been working well for me:
