I'd like to combine the shell bar and the top bar on my desktop for all applications.

I have noted on the screenshot below what I mean by shell bar and top bar.

You can use the Unite GNOME Shell Extension.

First make sure that you have chrome-gnome-shell installed:

sudo apt install chrome-gnome-shell

You also need the GNOME Shell integration browser extension installed. You can install the extension in Firefox by visiting this page and clicking the Add to Firefox button or in Chrome, by visiting this page and clicking the Add to Chrome button.

Allso install Tweaks to access the extension's options (and a bunch of other useful GNOME settings):

sudo apt install gnome-tweaks

Now, you can visit the Unite GNOME Shell Extension webpage, toggle the switch on the right-hand side of the page to ON and click Install on the pop-up.

Then, press Alt+F2, input r and press Enter to restart GNOME Shell to make the extension take effect.

To disable The extension, go to Tweaks → Extensions and toggle the Unite extension OFF. To uninstall it, visit its website and click the "X" button on the right-side.

    I don't know why but, it wasn't working on Chromium (maybe because it's not Chrome), but it worked on Firefox. Thank you very much for your help and for the correction, I also corrected the error on the screenshot. – gogor44 Jan 02 '20 at 19:02

    @gogor44 It should work with Chromium too, [unless you're using the snap version instead of the traditional apt version](https://askubuntu.com/q/1111784/480481). – pomsky Jan 03 '20 at 05:53
