How can I move the clock and date to the bottom in Ubuntu 20.04?

I want move the clock and date bar (where Wi-Fi, sound, battery information is displayed) to the bottom of the screen. Can I do that? This is my actual bar. (My system is on Spanish so my browser is on Spanish too.)


There are a few options here, all requiring, obviously, to install a Gnome Shell extension.

  • To do just what you want, i.e., move the bar to the bottom, install the extension BottomPanel by abstract. The extension Just Perfection by JustPerfection can do much more, but also includes an option to move the panel to the bottom. It is very well maintained and even works on the newest Gnome Shell 40.
  • A more invasive change would be to use the extension Dash to Panel by jderose9. This changes the setup to something resembling that of Windows 10. The bar moves to the bottom, and also includes the dock. That extension is available in the standard Ubuntu repositories. You can install it from the Ubuntu software center or with the command sudo apt install gnome-shell-extension-dash-to-panel.
