Ubuntu User Interface Tweaks

“I have spent time on all of the major Desktop operating systems
and Linux is by far the most customizable. The GNOME Desktop
environment, the default environment of Ubuntu and many other Linux
distributions, is a very simple yet very customizable interface. I
have spent a lot of time around a lot of Linux users and rarely do
I find two Desktops that look the same. Whether it is simple
desktop background customizations or much more complex UI
alterations, GNOME allows you to make your desktop your own.

“Just like any other environment that you’re going to find
yourself in for an extended period of time, you’re going to want to
make it your own. The GNOME Desktop offers this ability in a number
of ways. First of all I’ll cover perhaps the more obvious methods,
and then I’ll move to the more complex. As mentioned in the
introduction, by the end of this article you’ll know how to
automate (script) the customization of your desktop down to the
very last detail. This is perfect for those that find themselves
reinstalling their machines on a regular basis.”
