how to manipulate Gnome's "Top Bar"/"Activities Bar"/"Top Panel" using GDK

I am using Linux and Gnome. Using [GDK](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GDK), I would like to programmatically manipulate the Top Bar (i.e., the bar at the top of the screen with "Activities", the time, etc.). Here is a picture of it:

I have been unable to find any information online. I have also tried using [wnck](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libwnck), but I don't think the Top Bar is accessible through wnck.

If it isn't possible with GDK, then is it possible with another library such as GTK or X11?
