Small Configuration Tool for Ubuntu Unity-2D 12.04 LTS Precise Pangolin (Updated Apr 11th 2012)

An update to the small desktop tool for Unity 2D to work with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Precise Pangolin.

Download: For 12.04 Precise Pangolin only

QuickLists

Features:

-> Dash and Icon right click Shortcuts (QuickLists) for launcher settings and compositing manager’s extra effects, which brings window edge shadows and “alt-tab thumbnail previews” very handy for multi-tasking.

Unity 2D Desktop Tool

-> Updated Gtk3 GUI: Few available options to tweak Unity 2D not included in ‘System Settings’ for Launcher and Dash, Applications Lenses and a checkbox to enable OpenGL for Graphics Rendering as long as your system has a supported graphics card. If so, you might not be able to see any differences in your desktop regarding its visual components but just an overall graphics performance improvement.
Note: The Compositing Manager checkbox available in previous versions of the GUI has been removed. The switcher shortcut in the dash or quicklist in the icon handles this features and brings a pop up message dialog which helps to refresh the desktop so window shadows are instantly enabled.

    Thanks for your work. I hope they don’t take away the dodge feature from Unity 2D too.

  4. Thanks Aleve, I hope not :)

    How do I uninstall this?

  7. You can either install it via the Software Center by just clicking the package installer, using GDebi or using your terminal.

    I have Unity 2D but I cant see it in Panel Control

  9. Interesting, do you mean the “System Settings” window?

  12. Have you put the latest version of the source code somewhere? I’d be happy to look at it. Thx

  13. Hi Julien,

    I haven´t, but the window (which is a single script) and all the rest can be found at “/usr/lib/2d-desktop-settings”. Feel free to ask any questions related to it :)

    Greetings!
