Circle of friends logo has now been shifted into the launcher, allowing Close-Maximize-Minimize buttons to go all the way to the left in fullscreen view with a window, and the global menu.
Cheers Mark, and yeah pretty cool eh? I’m just hoping there will be a few new themes added. Or at least someone can make a new one specifically for Unity. Oh and that the Launcher can be moved too, sick of it being on the left
Well let’s remember, it is only in pre-release so there is still lots of things to iron out from 11.04. I was thinkin’ about going back to Classic, it’s GNOME3 that comes with Natty isn’t it? Been meaning to give it a go.
Also be aware Ubuntu 11.10 will not have GNOME 2.x installed by default… so you won’t “immediately” be able to select it from the session menu… but you CAN still install it yourself.
Are you telling me, that for the duration of Natty’s release I have sat here day after day, hoping and praying for the ability to move the launcher to the bottom, when I could easily have been using Gnome3 (updated from Gnome 2.xx)and still have kept all my customization? Not to mention getting comfortable with Unity as well. Thanks for telling me buddy! XD Now I feel stupid. I bet in GNOME3 you can move the launcher to the bottom.
But I STRONGLY suggest you read the warning at the PPA before installing GNOME 3 in 11.04… it reads:
This package contains packages from GNOME3 and their dependencies so they can be used in Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty). This PPA is [b]EXPERIMENTAL[/b] and [b]MAY BREAK YOUR SYSTEM[/b]. [b]There is no downgrade process[/b].
Grr… This Mark Shawberhufkjnsdfkjsdbhdk dude is making my life far more harder than it needs to be. What ever happened to the, “Linux is customizable for everyone” part? With Ubuntu being what some people call Linux, why would “he” go MS on us? He said that the launcher will never be able to have the option of reposition which I think is total BS, all of this in saving vertical space. There is a feature called, “auto-hide” / “idle-hide”. Meh. I don’t fancy doing ANOTHER fresh install of Natty, I’ll leave my system be just now.
Indeed, only though when I use like a dock like “Docky” / “Cairo dock” or something my laptop runs slow Don’t understand it, because my laptop does support hardware acceleration. Supports 2D & 3D as well, maybe so memory is leaking into something?
