Elsa looks beautiful! I've been running Loki for a while now and this is a nice step forward both in aesthetics and what's under the covers.
Except ... that word "Applications" in the top left hand corner always bothers me. It doesn't mean anything and it doesn't help anyone. Under Freya it was easy to replace with an icon.
I know it seems trivial but it's something that every user will look at every day. So it really should be replaced - if not with an icon, then at least with a backslash ...

Hi, You can do this. You can replace it with an icon. Take a look at how it looks : Apple Logo or DartBoard Logo. Here are the steps for it: - Open file manager up as administrator and go to: /usr/share/themes/name-of-your-theme-folder/gtk-3.0. (The Default theme would be BackSlash)
- Place the icon you want to use in that folder.
- Make sure the icon has proper permissions by right clicking on it, choosing properties > more > and making it 644-777 (read, write, and executable by owner, group, everyone) or else wingpanel may not load. (Alternatively you could issue chmod 777 <icon name>.svg)
- Open up /usr/share/themes/name-of-your-theme-folder/gtk-3.0/apps.css in Scratch, scroll down to the panel settings, find .panel-app-button, and change what's in the {brackets} to what's below.
.panel-app-button > GtkWidget > GtkWidget:first-child { padding: 0px 24px 0px 0px; font-size: 0px; background-image: url("icon.svg"); background-repeat: no-repeat; } - Change the background image url to the name of the icon that you placed in the gtk-3.0 folder. The padding above is adjusted for a 24x24 icon but you can adjust it to fit something bigger/smaller/wider, just change "24px" to the width of your image.
- In terminal type: killall wingpanel to see the changes.
Hope This Helps. Regards, Admin.
