+
+<p>GNOME 3 features a completely reimagined user interface designed to
+stay out of your way, minimize distractions, and help you get things done.
+When you first log in, you will see an empty desktop and the top bar.</p>
+
+<media type="image" src="figures/shell-top-bar.png"

+  <p>GNOME shell top bar</p>
+</media>
+
+<p>The top bar provides access to your windows and applications, your
+calendar and appointments, and system properties like sound, networking,
+and power. Under your name in the top bar, you can set your availability,
+change your profile or settings, log out or switch users, or turn off your
+computer.</p>

+<p>To access your windows and applications, click the <gui>Activities</gui>
+button, or just throw your mouse pointer to the top-left hot corner.
+You can also press the <link xref="windows-key">windows key</link> on
+your keyboard. You can see your windows and applications in the overview.
+You can also just start typing to search your applications, files, and

+shows you your favorite and running applications. Click any icon in the
+dash to open that application. If the application is already running,
+clicking the icon will bring up the most recently used window.</p>
+
+<p>To pick a window in a running application, or to open a new window,
+right-click on the application icon. You can also drag the icon to the
+overview, or onto any workspace thumbnail on the right.</p>
+
+<p>When you enter the overview, you will initially be in the windows overview.
+This shows you live thumbnails of all the windows on the current workspace.
+Click any window to focus that window and exit the overview. You can also
+use the scroll wheel on your mouse to zoom in on any window thumbnail.</p>
+
+<p>Click <gui>Applications</gui> to enter the applications overview. This
+shows you all the applications installed on your computer. Click any
+application to run it, or drag an application to the overview or onto
+a workspace thumbnail. You can also drag an application onto the dash
+to make it a favorite. Your favorite applications stay in the dash even
+when they're not running, so you can access them quickly.</p>

 <p>Workspaces refer to the grouping of windows on your desktop. You can create many workspaces, which act like virtual desktops. Workspaces are meant to reduce clutter and make the desktop easier to navigate.</p>
 
 <p>You could use workspaces to organize your work. For example, you could have all your communication windows, such as e-mail and your chat program on one workspace and the work you are doing on a different workspace. Your music manager could be on a third workspace.</p>
