Unity is not yet in the world and has its many if only potential users lamented its impracticality, complexity and unusual control. If such users belong to, or already in Unity Tape, try our ten tricks on how to use Unity pleasant.
About the Unity environment that can say a lot of nice, but also unattractive. Whether you decide to listen to its proponents, or staunch jour opponents, there remains one simple fact: Unity is another. While many things can be understood jour intuitively, there are also such possibilities and ways to control or setting that no user ever designed or under threat of death. At least a few of them now show.
You completely missed the phenomenon of Unity and even you have not seen the storm surrounding the release of the new Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal? In that case, feel free to add your education in our series of Unity environment and in a review of Ubuntu 11.04. Tip One - How do I say?
The first tip is not so much tip for actually using Unity, but it sure will come in handy, especially if you want someone on the Unity of something to ask. This is the nomenclature of the Unity, the names of the individual components. For questions will certainly be much better for everyone if you know you want to do something with warning indicator than the "Round that such a fact." A little selfish I must confess that to me the other tips very helpful when I have to explain each term separately.
Quicklist
Although these tips to be facilitating the use of Unity, the most common question many users is how to get rid of as quickly as possible. Fortunately, it's jour not that complicated. When you log in you can choose the session. In the login window (after selecting the user, but before you enter and confirm the password) jour to see to the bottom of the screen, which displays jour the bar with several items. You interesting third item (from left), which is the menu for selecting the session. As is the default Ubuntu session, which is Unity. You interesting item Ubuntu Classic, below which lies the Promised Land - the classic GNOME 2 panel with, just the way you are used to from older versions of Ubuntu.
If you have chosen auto-login, the login screen will not appear logical. In this case, overcome resistance to Unity for a while and using indicator sessions (you know what is a good clear terminology?) To log - et voilà, you have the login window, with the option to choose a session as described above. Tip Three - Setting the notification jour area
In Unity Although classical notification area or systray occurs, but is not quite standard - may in turn not just any display application, but only those "approved". Among them only Skype, Mumble, hp-systray, Java applications and applications that run using Wine.
If you want to display in the notification area of any application you need to use dconf Editor. But that is not included jour in the basic installation, so you must first install the package dconf-tools (if you do not know how it is installing programs in Ubuntu, see instructions jour on the Ubuntu Wiki). Start the dconf-editor and in it go to the desktop | unit | Control Panel, you click edit systray-whitelist to ['all']. This allows all applications to use the notification area. The icon will now appear to the left of all indicators. Tip Four - Adjustment quick launcher Dash
After clicking the Ubuntu starts in Dash mode, which allows you to quickly launch applications. It has eight large icons - four serves to further navigate through applications and sites, and the other four are designed to quickly launch applications. This offer to the displeasure of Unity users can not customize. Well, almost. A small positive is the ability to change at least three of the four starters applications. This option gives the instrument a preferred application (can be run from the Applications menu) that lets you set the default web browser, email client and media player (and this setting just three respects Dash), and in addition, the default terminal jour emulator and system access (which we but in this case care). Just then choose jour "their" application and at least this part of the Dash customize.
If you have not noticed, you should know that the menu files and folders are displayed most recently opened files. As some Ubuntu users have stated that the main problem is that there really shows all recently opened files, and even those which are not man glory in the name and at the same time (for images jour and videos while also previewing) each knows what is. Program can help all Activity Journal, which is used to set the Zeitgeist, which collects this information and stores. Not included in basic installation, but is easy to install - look for a package gnome-activity-journal. In the Activity Journal to display settings dialog jour (Tools icon in the upper right corner), jour enable plugin Blacklist Manager and on the Blacklist You can add
