In older distros, there is the feature: right-click the top-bar > Add To Panel. But not anymore in Ubuntu 16.04? I want to create a application icon-shortcut to the application bar. I want to use the default settings in the latest Ubuntu. I would like to add just a Matlab.desktop icon to the panel.

2I guess you mean a feature in GNOME 2. It was dropped five years ago. But it's still available in MATE desktop environment (a fork of GNOME 2).– user300458May 4, 2016 at 13:12

@user300458 Yes. I want to use the defaults in the distro. I just want to add Matlab.desktop icon to the panel and I am wondering where it is.– Léo Léopold Hertz 준영May 4, 2016 at 13:14
