Extra tip for changing dash/launcher color

A new feature for Unity in 11.10 is the ability to change the color of the dash/launcher to match the user's current wallpaper. To take advantage of this, simply set a new wallpaper for your desktop, and the color will change automatically to match.

Note that more advanced control over the dash/launcher color (i.e., setting them to separate or arbitrary colors regardless of the wallpaper chosen) is currently not possible...at least not through an option. The dash/launcher color can actually be arbitrarily set by using an image editor to change the center pixels of your chosen wallpaper to the desired color. (See the OMG! Ubuntu article documenting this here.)

Ubuntu 12.04

overview

The default configuration option installed as standard is User Interface.

There are three further unity configuration options used in this answer that can be installed:

• MyUnity
• dconf-editor
• ccsm

Note: In previous answers, the utility CCSM was extensively used as the primary configuration tool. The use of this tool is strongly not recommended and can break your desktop. In this answer, CCSM is only used where the other tools do not offer the configuration options discussed.

Note that some changes only appear after logging out and in again (i.e. restarting X).

User Interface

1. Hit the Dash and search for appearance

From the Appearance tab you can configure the:

• wallpaper
• theme
• size of the launcher icons

From the Behaviour tab you can configure the:

• how to invoke the launcher by moving the mouse (hot-spot) - either left-side of the screen or the top-left corner
• how quickly the launcher is revealed - lower the slide bar, the longer the mouse needs to be at the hot-spot to be revealed.

MyUnity

1. Hit Alt+F2 and type myunity and hit enter.

You can now configure quite a few different settings, like the launcher behavior, dash configuration, panel transparency, desktop icons and various font settings.

Launcher

1. color - Launcher background color
2. size - Launcher icon size
3. Transparency - Background transparency of the launcher
4. Show devices - Show removable USB drives as an icon

5. Behavior - How the launcher interacts with windows

   • Fixed - The launcher will never hide.
   • Hidden - The launcher will hide when a window would overlay it.

6. Display - What effect the launcher should use when hiding i.e. to fade away or to slide (or both)

7. Backlights - Style of icon background

   • Icons On - the icon back light will always be on.

• Active Icons On - the icon back light will be on as long as the application is running.

• Icons Off - No backlights on icons

• Only Icons Edge - the edge illumination will be on as long as the application is running.

Launcher Quicklists

This option allows you to create quicklists - quicklists are a submenu that are displayed when you right-click a launcher icon.

For example - shutter

Dash

1. Display available apps - control whether similar applications from the software center should be displayed
2. Display recent apps - control whether applications you have recently used should be displayed

3. Blur - how or if Dash background is displayed - default is to blur the background

   • Off - No Blur
   • Smart - Active Blur - This means it actively blurs what is behind it.
   • On - snapshot of the desktop that doesn't get updated (in cases where the drivers can't handle it)

4. Dash Size - whether the dash shows in netbook or desktop style depending on the screen resolution

Panel

1. Transparency - how transparent the top-panel should be displayed
2. Transparency Maximized Toggle - if you are using a transparent top-panel this toggle controls whether an application that is maximised has its decoration also displayed transparently or in the theme colour.

Unity Tweak Tool 还可以做更多事情，我希望最终涵盖它可以做的所有事情。

A new simple Unity tweaking tool, but very powerfull, is "MyUnity":

You can do a lot of thing, more than many other tools. From now, he is in italian, but I think that english translation will come sooner.

Now available in English, refer to OMG!Ubuntu article from December 11.

There is an unofficial Compiz plugin that allows you to move the Unity launcher to the bottom (looks out of place and ugly there in my opinion).

More information about it at:

How To Move Unity Launcher To The Bottom Of The Screen [Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot] ~ Web Upd8: Ubuntu / Linux blog

Personally would wait for an official plugin for this but if you are feeling feisty...

Use at your own risk.

Unity 是通过 compiz 配置的。从软件中心安装 CompizConfig 设置管理器 (ccsm)，然后在桌面部分查看 Unity 选项。

Unity 2D 设置可以使用此处提供的工具进行配置：

除了在另一个回复中描述的 CCSM（Compiz Config Settings Manager）配置之外，您还可以通过自定义启动器和所谓的快速列表更改在 Unity 中右键单击应用程序启动器（图标）时出现的菜单选项。

例如，您可以在 Banshee 图标中添加 STOP、PLAY、PAUSE、NEXT、PREVIOUS，您可以在 Nautilus（文件浏览器）图标中添加您喜欢的文件夹，您可以在终端图标中添加常用的 SSH 服务器等。
