 So here we are running Unity 5.0 on Ubuntu 11.10. I installed it a couple of hours ago and I've been using it and I haven't seen any problems so I think it's quite stable for anyone to use it but of course since it's still in a stagging process so you should be careful while using it. Let's see what's new here. One thing that you do need to get the most out of Unity is to install complex settings manager. Once you install it, you will be able to control Unity very well. One thing I didn't like about launcher Unity was that auto height feature because sometimes it takes so much time to call it and an impatient user may not want it so I disable it so it's always there just like a panel. One thing more that I have done is I have reduced the size of the launcher so it's only 32 pixels which is which is as thick as the top bar so it doesn't take up much space on my 32-inch screen and I can put more icons there. So these are the two settings that I do by default. Now if you look at this experimental tab of complex settings, that's where all the magic starts. A new thing with the dash or Unity 5.0 is now you can also change the color of dash and launcher. Look at this option here. You can select the color of your choice. Just make sure that the opacity is there so that you know you see the color otherwise it is low. You won't see any change there. It will be just transparent so increase it and then turn it on and then you'll see it's it's your color whatever you choose that of course is the back color so I'll go with something which is a bit darker like black and now that's what I get so that's cool. So it's not logged to the current theme you're using. Theme colors are not good for dash. You can always pick the color. Another important thing that has happened with this version is that now when you open an app the menus are since I have disabled global menu because I don't like them what happens is when you open a new app the global menu the menus on top are visible for a while so if there is a new user he will be able to see where the menus are if you won't be struggling to see where the menus are hiding. You can control the auto fading time from this settings. You can increase it and decrease it though I typically I just remove global menu because I have a big screen and you can imagine if I have like and I have a dual machine a dual monitor so if I have like two or three or five application which is my typical user scenario it's very hard for me to go up there all the time so I think that's a cool thing to be able to disable it. Another cool thing with the Unity is when you right-click on it you can instead of removing something the option is unlocked from the launcher so that's another cool change here it will it will make it clear that you are just unlocking this item from the launcher. When you look at dash when you right-click on it you can you can open application music files and for I don't know why the movies are missing but when you open it all you see is application so it's quite easy for somewhat if you just want to open files and photo you can open that if you want to open music you can open that so that's yet another cool customization that is available there and that's pretty much what it is in the new Unity. It is competitively faster but I don't use it that much because all my icons are already listed here so I just access them easily at disable global menu so that's not a problem either way and it's at the end of the day it's a button to which is which works out of the box it's it's a stable and it's based on Debian so just enjoy it
