Hi all,
I'm a newbie. I've installed 12.04 on my desktop PC and the icons do not appear in the launcher or panel by default. The icons will appear in the panel if I hover over them, but I have to find them first. Apps can be started from the launcher, but again, I can't see the icons first.
Anybody else had this issue?
Any thoughts on this would be very much appreciated.
One of the advantages of Unity is the screen real estate optimization it can bring to desktop by combining global menu and window controls on top panel.

Make Gnome look like Unity
Hello All,
On my previous installation of Ubuntu 12.04 I was using the gnome classic desktop(no effects), but it looked and functioned just like unity 2d.

How can I show Ubuntu Unity's Launcher panel through terminal?
I'm trying to bind a mouse button to this, showing the launcher. By "launcher" I mean the vertical panel with the "Home button". I would like to press this particular mouse button and it acts as if I had pressed the <Super> key; which is bound to show the launcher by default.
I've set xbindkeys properly already.
So after happy years sticking with Karmic - so stable I never had much need to keep updating - I decided it was time to get up to date with Precise. Install fine - I kept my old /home and settings came over OK - and although Unity (or some aspects of it) not entirely to my taste I figured that was just a matter of getting used to it.
In Ubuntu 11.04 Unity, you might prefer the left launcher bar but dislike the searching-style app menu in top-panel. Mac-like dock has classic app menu but there also has many useless shortcut icons that already shown in left launcher bar.
Although we cannot replace the top-panel with the classic gnome-panel, there’s a classic start menu can be added onto left launcher bar.
