Unity Bliss: An Alternative Application Lens for Ubuntu

By , Published November 5, 2011

Unity’s Application Lens is pretty much perfect: you can search apps by text, or by category.

Simple stuff, right?

Well it’s not simple enough for those who prefer the more traditional approach to application-menu structure.

To that end the maintainer of the Unity Application Lens, Mikkel Kamstrup Erlandsen, has put together an GNOME Menu inspired alternative. A lens he’s called ‘Unity Bliss’.

The Bliss Lens takes things old-skool: organising applications into category folders reminicisnt of the old GNOME 2 menus.

Each application category is a folder. Inside each folder lay the respective application icons.

Unity Bliss Lens Main View

Mikkel says of the Lens: -

“This is a very simple implementation of an apps lens for Unity. It can be used as a replacement for the default apps lens if you want something simpler, or it can be used as a solid starting point for writing your own lens.

Bliss is by no means official or anything. It is a quick hack to showcase how you can go about this, mostly intended for developers who want to do their own thing. That is also why you wont find a PPA for it (not from me at least)”

Download and install

Don’t fear the lack of PPA; the lens is incredibly easy to install.

First download the latest lens package from the project launchpad page @ launchpad.net/unity-lens-bliss (the green button to the right)

Move this package to your Home folder. Right-click on it and choose ‘Extract here’.

Next open a terminal and enter the following commands: -

  • cd unity-lens-bliss-0.1.3
  • ./configure –prefix=/usr –sysconfdir=/etc
  • make
  • sudo make install

The lens is now installed, but you will need to log out and back in for it to become active in the Dash.

If you decide you don’t like it, or don’t want it cluttering up your Lens bar, it can easily be removed by opening deleting the ‘unity-lens-bliss’ folder in /usr/share, and the ‘bliss’ folder in /usr/share/unity/lenses.

    Much better than the default.

      I agree. I am not mad about the folder icons or the arrow element, but the idea is good. I also wouldn’t mind it if every category had an inline icon for the apt Software Center category (like, “go see what games are in the USC”).

  • http://twitter.com/tviking22 Carlos

    A .deb file would be nice. I’ll give it a try when it happens, because the default lens application is very slow, so I’d like to try something new.

    • Anonymous

      It would also be nice if it tied directly into the same configuration app used in the old Gnome menus. Not sure if it does this, but I’ll see when there’s a .deb.

  • http://grillbar.org/ kamstrup

    You can more cleanly uninstall it by keeping the source folder you installed from around, and then doing:

    cd unity-lens-bliss-0.1.3
    sudo make uninstall

    If you’re really adventurous you can also remove the default apps lens package ‘unity-lens-applications’, but I would advise against that unless you know how to repair your system if something breaks :-) Removing the default apps lens does provide for a cleaner experience though…

      Removing and adding lenses will be something easy. It doesnt have to be a “hack”. We want everyone to make cool lenses of all types:

    Why on earth would you go and throw a spanner in now just when Ubuntu is pulling in its own direction with unity. A+ for being creative, but honestly I’m sticking with what ever eachndistro brings otherwise its going to make my system very ugly and unstable.

    • https://login.ubuntu.com/+id/R4szkb7 Jo-Erlend Schinstad

      No, the main idea of lenses is that we should have lots of them. There is an expressed goal of having a hundred lenses to choose from in 12.04. I actually didn’t know you could use lenses like that, and I think it can be useful to many applications. So it was quite a useful example for me.

      • Anonymous

        We should not have more lenses! I think eight at one time should be the most allowed

        Otherwise it turns into something like indicator applets on gnome 2 or extensions on firefox — you end up putting everything on it and it looses a whole lot of functionality

      I think the article is clear enough. You should find what Mikkel says of the lens:

    Certainly a lot tidier than the default unity app lens. They really need to do something about the chaos in the app lens, like hiding redundant stuff, getting things that belongs in “system settings” out of the app lens and into system setting etc. I never use the app lens because I’m never able to find what I’m looking for in that jungle of apps and crapps. Oh, and it’s not compatible with Wine installs, which forces wine users to the terminal. The joy.

    • Anonymous

      yes would like to see system settings stuff on the control center or on a “system-settings-lens”

      and a i wonder the same with wine apps, do we need an wine-applications-lens?

      • Freddi

        Wine apps appear in my default application lens (?!)

        • Anonymous

          Does for me.
          Now I have ghost icons of broken windows programs I attempted (and failed) to install via wine. I even deleted the program (or so I think) and the icons still appear

          • https://launchpad.net/~stachowski-mateusz Mateusz Stachowski

            If you want to get rid of those ghost icons you have to delete them manually. It always been like that even in time of the GNOME 2. The Wine uninstaller doesn’t handle that thing reliably.

            You can find all of the Wine shortcuts in your home directory in the hidden folder (use CTRL+H in Nautilus):

            .local/share/applications/wine

            There is also a possibility to completely disable building of Wine menu items. You have to start the winecfg and in the libraries tab add winemenubuilder.exe and set it to disabled.

          • Anonymous

            winemenubuilder.exe worked, I couldn’t find the wine folder (Yes, i turned on hidden files)
            But there is still one left, it says “Mozilla firefox” and shows the regular icon (im saying this because i use faenza icons)
            When i click on it, nothing happens.
            how do I get rid of that?

            Also, Is there any config list of applications shown in the dash/gnome shell thing/cardapio? I have two banshees, two firefoxes, three chromiums, two chromes, two thunderbirds, three ubuntu ones, and two ubuntu software centers (and on the gnome application search, two epiphanies).
            And I have no idea how they happened, it just appeared one day.

            If you want to delete those duplicate icons take a look at that:

            http://jasondclinton.livejournal.com/83142.html

            it worked for me. I don’t have two items in the Gnome Shell, but there are two Ubuntu One icons showing up in the Unity dash.

            The Wine folder is definitely where I pointed you. Maybe you didn’t notice the dot (.) before local and the actual shrtcuts are deeper (Programs or Applications folder).

            Same replying problem for me, so i am replying to your comment below me

            I ran those commands, rebooted, and the icons are still there in unity. I’ll look again in gnome shell, but it looks like it didn’t help. Isn’t there some configuration file I can manually edit to remove them?

          True, I copied the wrong one. thank you. 

      • wayne foutz

        Thanks. That worked. I like it much better than the chaotic layout it replaces. Unity is supposed to be for beginners, but I fail to see how digging through the default dashboard looking for the app you want benefits new users. Old hands like myself know what we are looking for, and simply type a g to find “Gimp” when we want to edit a photo, but a new user that has no idea what each application does is lost.  And why the Applications button that was present in 11.04 was removed baffles me. This is a nice solution.

      • wayne foutz

        the command you briefly had up there worked for me. Although it didn’t replace the old lens, now I have both.

        • http://twitter.com/iamgregorymyers iamgregorymyers

          I copied the command with the two hyphens, and everything works, but I have both the old lens and the new. Should this automatically remove the original lens?

            I also noticed that the “back” icon is often out of place on many of the sub-lenses, sometimes it will be the second or third icon, instead of the first listed.

    If you want to encourage people to try software in development, then please provide proper instructions. For instance, you should always create a package before you install software so that it’s easy to remove.

    1) Install some development tools: sudo apt-get install bzr gnome-common checkinstall
    2) In a directory like ~/devel, run: bzr branch unity-lens-bliss
    3) Run: ./autogen.sh –prefix=/usr –sysconfdir=/etc  && make
    4) Create a package for it: sudo checkinstall
    5) Answer all the easy questions like what name to give the package, etc.  You can pretty much call it anything as long as its unique. Remember the name you give it so you’ll find it afterwards.
    6) sudo dpkg -i your-package-name.

    Instead of logging out and back in, I would recommend just opening a guest session. It’ll have the exact same effect, and you don’t have to close down your apps first. When you want to remove it, then you can simply use: sudo apt-get remove your-package-name

    Interesting use of a lens. I know of several project where that might come in handy. Thanks, Mikkel! :)

    Important usability attributes were lost with the removal of traditional menus:

    - one can see a list of all categories at a glance
    - just by hovering over an element, one can see it’s contents immediately, allowing one to look through multiple elements quickly
    - one can then easily and quickly transition between the root list of elements and the contents of an element, while all remain visible

    Unity:
    Categories are needed in Unity.
    But, even if categories are listed in the dash, browsing would require clicking and the parent list would not be visible while viewing one if its elements (category).

    User scenario:
    Consider a user looking for a certain application (perhaps the user forgot the name of it). While quickly glancing into various categories, the user would have to commit to clicking a category and losing the list of categories. Furthermore, the user would have to remember that list in case the clicked category appears incorrect–or would have to click to go back and change focus on the previous list again (as if the user is sure that the category just checked is really incorrect). This launcher system would be more difficult and more frustrating to use than the traditional menu system. The only improvement is the addition of a search bar.

    • Anonymous

      Most user’s don’t spend all their time looking for an application in the menu. People pin their favorite applications to the launcher and on the occasion you have to open an application that you don’t have pinned a click in the right category, or typing an name or keyword to find the application is not going to kill you.

      • Anonymous

        “don’t spend all their time” and “is not going to kill you” are horrible justifications for usability designs. These little bumps (papercuts?) add up in the overall user experience.

        Of course, categories are key; then follows polish.

        The current application lens implementation certainly doesn’t kill the user but it has some downgrades in usability.
        Making categories easily accessible is a key improvement.
        Presenting the categories in a list and presenting their contents while hovering over (OR clicking on) a category is some possible polish.

        Consider a new user who forgot the name of a recently installed application or is unaware of the pre-installed options. Helping the user find an application as effortlessly as possible positively affects their first impression of Ubuntu (and likewise, the contrary). Note also that an application can often be under multiple categories but appears under one.

    Something like this should be included or at least an option at install. I think most people would find this more intuitive than the current application lens.

    You know what would be nice with this ? And this could work on Unity Bliss, Unity Lens or even Gnome-Shell Activies !

    Is it so hard to use “sudo checkinstall” instead of “sudo make install”?

    Checkinstall automatically makes deb-package. You need to answer few obvious and non-mandatory questions but as result you achieve completely manageable package which will be properly removed if you ever decide to do so.

    Using “make uninstall” for this purpose may lead to removal of something necessary or leaving things here and there. Also “make install” may replace existing files without asking.

    Hate to spoil your all excitement : Mint is number ONE on Distrowatch.com. A milestone. Ubuntu was there for a least 5 years.

    • Anonymous

      Distrowatch stats are just for distrowatch visitors and what they click on. they are useless in measuring install base. Most Linux users don’t visit that site and for people that do, once they find a distro that suits them they stop visiting. Check google trends Ubuntu vs. Linux mint. No comparison. Ubuntu is ahead in popularity by far and it would take a long time for mint, fedora, arch or any other distro to catch up to Ubuntu/Lubuntu/Kubuntu and all the other buntus. Not to mention that Mint itself is also an unofficial buntu. I get it that the popular thing now days here is to whine about and put down ubuntu but mint doesn’t have anywhere near 20 million users and though they are doing an great job with their distro, don’t kid yourself as to how popular it is.

      Even Fedora is more popular than Mint. So no, Mint is NOT the number one distro of choice you arrogant fool.

    I lol at any interface that flaunts Universal Access, but fixes the font in the applications list at a very miniature size no person with vision problems could ever hope to read on their best day. And, quite frankly, it is irritating (really infuriating) that something so utterly basic is far beyond the user’s control.

    …And that’s why I use KDE.

    it’s only my meagre opinion but although unity has some ok ideas I really like the look of Linux Mint 12′s “MGSE” (Mint Gnome Shell Extensions). http://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=1851 I switched to mint this year {as I’m not a unity fan} and it seems they have some really well thought out plans ahead. like everything though it’s all down to personal choice… you can’t please everyone all the time. and forcing people to like unity or gnome or kde or any other alternative is just wrong, arrogant and plain rude. all this bickering over what is better sucks!!!

    “pretty much perfect”? No, the silly ‘home’ lens should disappear. I want just immediately my apps and the filters next to it.

    “Unity’s Application Lens is pretty much perfect” -  oh Joey, Joey, Joey…

    Can you safely use checkinstall with this (so you can later uninstall/manage with dpkg)?

    Is there a way to set it as default lens, instead of the regular one?

    Am I the only one to get a segfault when running /usr/libexec/unity-bliss-daemon ?

    Anyone even tried this on Oneiric ? All I could have it perform is crashing…

    ok, it stopped crashing with the latest libunity update, great!

    Now we need 2 things: for this to support infinite nesting of sub-categories, and for Unity to natively support this mode of operations.

    That’s not even close to what a menu gives you.  Unless the categories show their contents when you hover over them.  Why do my apps need to have more clicks to get to?

    after i put in the 2nd line, I get..
    “configure: error: invalid variable name: `–prefix’ ”

    and can;t continue.
    wth?

    Hi,  I have removed the ‘unity-lens-bliss’ folder in /usr/share, and the ‘bliss’ folder in /usr/share/unity/lenses. Now, my dash have lost all the lenses, except the one for shortcut. I can’t launch any application! There is a way to reset the dash??
