“At the request of many Ubuntu users who hated the Unity
interface, introduced with the Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal)
release, it looks like Canonical is trying hard to make it more
user friendly by adding new functionality and allowing users to
easily configure it.“After the ability to access Unity’s Lens directly from the
‘Ubuntu Button,’ the new ‘Show Desktop’ button, and the replacement
of the Application Menu with the HUD (Head-Up Display) feature,
users will now be able to quickly and easily set the Unity
Launcher’s icon size, to enable or disable the auto-hide function
of the Unity Launcher and set the releal spot to left side or in
the top left corner.“These new Unity settings were implemented in the ‘User
Interface’ entry (also accessible via Change Desktop Background if
you right click on the desktop) in the System Settings tool for
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin), along with the ability to
restore Unity to the default settings. Click the image above for
more details!”
