Continuing the process of "pimp" Hardy Heron, now is the time for configuring your desktop. I know there is a format for virtually every desktop Ubunteros, since each sort the items as you find most comfortable. But let him show you how I like to me, to see if someone gives you an idea or answer any questions. We by:
1. Toggle desktop icons I like to have on the desktop at least a link to my personal folder (/ home) and one to the Trash. Also I do not like icons appear removable drives (disks, pen drives, etc.). So the first thing I do is change all these things through the GNOME configuration editor:
- Open dialog "Run Application" (Alt-F2) Run gconf-editor Go to
- / apps / nautilus / desktop Here you can enable or disable the Computer icon, Folder, Network Servers, Trash, and removable drives.
I like to enlarge the icons on the desktop to make them more visible and accessible. This can be done through the option "stretch icon 'in the contextual menu. We can change the icon size either larger or smaller just by right-clicking them and choosing the option mentioned.
3. Compact menus Applications, Places and System into one
This will seem heresy, because it is a kind of
microsoftizacion
of Ubuntu. But I am more comfortable with it, I accept that I'd rather have all concentrated in a single menu button separately. And how is it done?- Right click somewhere in the top panel and select "Add to panel ... "You opened
- a list of items you can add. Find the one that says "Main Menu" and drag it to the panel. To remove the menu bar, right click on it and select "Remove from panel"
- 4. Remove the bottom panel and change the list of the top panel windows
delete the bottom panel by right-clicking it and selecting "Delete this panel"
Right-click the panel top and select "Add to Panel ..."
the list of items we "Window List" and drag the panel
5. Enlarge the top panel
Since we have gained some space by removing the bottom panel, we can give some more pixels top panel for the icons and windows look bigger.
Right click on the panel and choose "Properties"- In the tab "General" Look where it says "Size" and change the number by 32 (or whatever the liking of each)
- 6. Adding and removing icons Sincerely
- panel never used the Help icon or the Evolution, so the bag to keep me distracted. Instead, add a couple of pitchers for those applications that need a click away (we all have some). In my case are these three: Firefox (included), Terminal (the faithful friend of all GNU / Linux) and my favorite text editor,
pitchers to add only enough for us to look into the applications menu and give a right click and choose the option "Add this launcher to panel"
