CentOS Linux release 7.5.1804 (Core)
GNOME-Classic:GNOME
Hi,
I have never been on a CentOS system before.
I am at a new place on a CentOS system and ]GNOME-Classic:GNOME.
Is GNOME-Classic:GNOME the default desktop for CentOS?
I can't find any GUI options for configuring the taskbars, changing the format of the clock, adding applets to the task bar, and a "new document" option to the context menu on the desktop or adding a new background color choice to the relevent menu.
Again, I am a total newbie to this system.
Is there a way to tell if all of those options have been locked down for me, or is there a different way of configuring those things in GNOME-Classic?
Thanks for any clues
New to CentOS. Is my copy of GNOME locked down or do I simply not know how to use it?

Are you expecting GNOME Classic to be GNOME 2? Genuine question, it’s come up before.
GNOME Classic is just standard GNOME 3 that’s been themed to look like GNOME 2 through the use of extensions and a side theme. However, it is not functionally the same as G2. For that you would need to install MATE. Check GNOME Tweaks for extension/functionality management and Settings > Details for clock format.
Cheers,
Mike
