Unity adds improved launcher, dash icons

By , Published September 1, 2010

Ubuntu 10.10′s Unity interface has gained some new icons in an update tonight.

Three new launcher icons – for applications, places and trash respectively – are joined by category icons in the dash over-view.

Also noticeable in recent updates are a refined set of ‘hover’ effects.

    It seems like Unity is slowly improving, i was skeptical after testing the 2nd alpha on my netbook but hopefully it will all clear up by the final release in october.

    Second alphas are never very good. :) It’ll be a lot better by October.

    How do you install it? I did it as this tuto : http://digitizor.com/2010/05/10/how-to-install-unity-in-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx/ , but when I login in Unity Session, nothing has changed but the clock.

    Mutter is incredibly slow on my system, and since Unity depends on Mutter, that means I can’t use Unity.

    I think this is for Unity on 10.10 Maverick. Correct me if I’m wrong.

    Installed Unity and it looks nice, but the netbook edition works great already.

    But why is the icon from elementary also mixed there?
