It's been about a week since I upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10. I thought by now I'd be longing for 10.10 back and raving about what a big mistake upgrading was. I assumed I'd at least switch to the Gnome 3.x desktop but I've been surprised by Unity. I don't hate it, don't love it either, but it's growing on me. Don't get me wrong, it has some issues and annoyances (Right Click Context Menus) but I can see where they are going with this. I've looked at some
Youtube videos of the next Ubuntu Release, 12.04, and see that they're addressing some of my complaints, the biggest of which is not having the ability to customize the look/feel of Unity. I haven't found any "show stoppers" yet so I think I can live with the small issues I've encountered until Ubuntu 12.04 with Unity 5.0 comes out in a month.
I've thought about doing more 11.10 "how to's" but since we are so close to 12.04 I think I'll wait, upgrade early and write some articles for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS instead.
One parting tip... Most of the
Unity customization lives in the
CompizConfig Settings Manager. To get to it; open a
TERMINAL Window and type;
ccsm
Sorry about the Blue Tint, it's one of those "annoyances"
