Things I found unpleasant about Unity so far. Default decorator was straining my intel card and had those hideous heavy shadows - replacing w/ gtk decorator in gconf for unity (and gnome classic) fixed, but I should not have had to go to gconf - appears changing decorator in ccsm no longer works.
Opening multiple terminal windows apparently requires middle click on the terminal button. But middle click is something I find hard to do on a touchpad with no 3rd button. doubleclick perhaps would have worked, for now I just right click on the new window. No applets! So no cpu frequency applet, no network/cpu/mem monitor, pretty much no useful customisation of that top bar, and I definitely care about applets. If I ran a search for ccsm, but I already had ccsm open behind other stuff, it popped open the side menu and wiggled the icon, but did not bring it to foreground. When I first started Unity I was presented w/ some apps on sidebar w/ identical icons. In my case, it was system firefox vs one I had downloaded to desktop. There was no way to differentiate between them since I could not: drag the icon to the desktop or right click on it to get to properties. Had to start them one at a time and grep the process list, then unpin the desktop one. No way to change icons (again, lack of right click for properties), if some apps have multiple icons - I had a few of these due to gksudo calls. search and sidebar don't seem to theme well. Stability has improved quite a lot, at least. I don't like the limitation in customisation of real-estate. Under gnome classic, I have all my applets and list of apps and everything rearranged into a 20px bar on the top, set to autohide. I can't do that in Unity, so it actually burns more real estate. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/648180 Title: Unity sucks -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
