You can now easily config Unity with a little app called MyUnity.
For Ubuntu 11.04 and 11.10 you can install MyUnity with these commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:myunity/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install myunity
For Ubuntu 12.04 and upcoming releases, you will find MyUnity in

with a visible tool to adjust unity-3d options, 'experimental' or otherwise.

Burton Leathers,
This is not a mailing list and I doubt anybody would read such a long

ccsm is there 'sudo apt-get install ccsm' would do it, and there is a

There are two reasons I will not use Unity (yet):
1. I can't use my panel applets anymore.
2. I can't configure Unity. Especially the impossibility to resize the
icons is a big step back in time.
I won't use Unity until at least these two problems are resolved.

There are theree things I would find Unity hard to use if I could not change
them.
1) size of the icons in the launcher - the default is way too big for my small
screen
2) option to set the launcher always on top (for me) or some kinds of autohide
(I have seen other people like this a lot)

Making something easy to use is great, I commend that. I really like
some things about unity, but this moronic trend that options are bad is
absurd. Having no easily available options, believe it or not, ACTUALLY
MAKES IT HARDER TO USE. Even very novice users change at least some
basic settings in

11.10 will ship with a preinstalled tool.
I have to make my apologies, i misread comment #14 the first time, its not a
bad idea to ship unity 'as it is' in the
When I upgraded to Natty, I was impressed at how icons I'd previously
added to my GNOME panel, and two shortcuts to third-party applications
on my desktop, were automatically added to the launcher.
However, this means that there are several icons on the launcher for
applications I seldom use, and
Personally, I don't care what 'they' do, or don't do.
I'm going to make Unity look however I wish. Nobody is going to stop
me.

The same applies to us!

@Mark Shuttleworth, the Unity config tool will be available for Ubuntu 11.10?
As you said: «but we do not want any
visible options at this stage».
Thanks.

Sorry but i can not agree with hiding configuration settings (while i
agree that they should be as easy as possible).
Shouldn't ubuntu encourage users to explore it and to tailor it on
user's needs?
Apple do things like that, deciding what the user can or can not do.

Mark, for natty we can do without a preinstalled configuration tool but in
oneiric we need this.
Maybe integrated in the system control center that i hope will be improved for
11.10

The lengths you have to go to just to resize the dock/launcher are just
plain farcical, and it's an experimental feature to boot so may not

The intent here, (of this bug), was to see if there was to be a simple

Will wait for the inevitable 3rd party software to achieve just this
then. Zero-config is not the way to go. I can say right now I wouldn't
even be thinking about using Unity if it wasn't for the experimental
option to resize it. It's stupidly big on my screen at 48 pixels.
Zero-config =
I guess that's understandable if some or all of the experimental options are
considered unstable. The idea of a zero-config experience feels a bit thin
considering that the launcher hide mode and icon size will be factor in the
user's experience.
To limit that to one predetermined setting
Perhaps Canonical plans to offer a configuration option as a commercial

CCSM is still in the repositories, you can do alt+F2 and type
about:config, hit enter and that will take you directly to the Unity

This zero-config desicion is a mistake, and to be honest it will more
than likely be reverted at some point because people like choice. But
really, development of a config tool should have started the same day as
Unity itself...
