Remove GNOME Menu Icon Arrow

If you are linux user and using ubuntu or some other distribution then this may help you to remove menu icon arrow. Here’s how to do this.

Before you do that you need some package to be in your system. If not just copy and paste these commands in terminal.

 

 

 

 

1
sudo apt-get install apt-build //if prompt, choose your options and processor type.
1
2
sudo apt-build source gnome-panel

sudo apt-get build-dep gnome-panel

I believe you already have gnome-panel_2.30.2.orig.tar.gz in /var/cache/apt-build/build/ folder.

1. Now go to that folder using following

   1	cd /var/cache/apt-build/build/

2. Then unzip the folder

   1	tar -xzvf /var/cache/apt-build/build/gnome-panel_2.30.2.orig.tar.gz -C ~/

   (this will extract the folder into your home folder after job you can remove it.)

3. Open

   1	panel-menu-button.c

   for necessary changes

   1	cd ~/gnome-panel-2.30.2/ sudo gedit gnome-panel/panel-menu-button.c

4. Find the line

   1	"has-arrow", <strong>TRUE</strong>, NULL);

   and change it to

   1	"has-arrow", <strong>FALSE</strong>,NULL);

5. Finally run these commands

   1	sudo ./configure

   1

   sudo make

   1	sudo make install

   1	sudo killall gnome-panel

That’s it you are done.
