How to change name in top bar for an application in GNOME?
I am running Ubuntu GNOME 15.10 with GNOME 3.18 and I would like to be able to change the text for an application in the top bar. So for instance how would I change this:
To just Firefox?
Solution 1:
You need to edit the .desktop file.
First, open it in gedit or nano with one of these commands:
sudo nano /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop
<%%>
sudo -H gedit /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop
Then find the line that says Name=Firefox Web Browser, and change it to Name=Firefox:
Of course, the same works for Google Chrome etc.
