I successfully remove icons from the Unity Launcher by right click on icon -> "keep in launcher".
When I log on next time they reappear on the launcher. This is a bit annoying. How to remove icons from the Unity launcher permanently?
Thanks.
Unity-Launcher-Editor is a GUI designed to manage Unity Launcher items and quicklists.
I installed skype-wrapper because the Skype default icon looks awful with the rest of the unity bar (and I like the integration), and uninstalled the sni-qt package to remove the normal Skype icon.
Now when I launch Skype (through skype-wrapper) there are two icons for Skype in the launcher: the top one is the skype-wrapper icon, with the unity quicklists and the mail count, etc.
The Unity LauncherIf you have used Unity in Ubuntu 11.04, you would have noticed the large icons in the Unity launcher. The large icons are a good in larger screens since it makes it easier for the cursor to target it. But on smaller screens, like on netbooks, it could be too large and get in the way.
I was wondering if it were possible to increase the number of icons that you could keep on the unity launcher bar. I have already decreased the size of the icons so that I can put more of them on there, but I was looking around to see if there were some hack or another that would allow columns of icons to appear instead of a single column.
I just got my new asus laptop from the store and wanted to use Ubuntu. But after I installed all updates and stuff, the launcher icons went invisible. They still works and text is displaying when I hover them. All the icons are invisible. I've tried to reinstall unity (http://askubuntu.com/questions/131016/how-can-i-remove-and-re-install-unity) but that does not work.
In this question I do not want to customize the launcher for each workspace, or change the animations or behaviors of the icons. I only want to change how the background of the Launcher looks. Let me show you what I mean:
If I do not open the Dash, the launcher looks like the following:
It looks like this because I have a background that has gray, black and white colors.
I have already reduced the Unity launcher icons to 32 but still the space is exhausted already with my most-used programs.
A utility for organizing related items for easy launching from the Unity launcher. Drawers creates a launcher favorite for the Unity launcher panel that can contain any combination of files, applications, web links or directories. Just drop a file on the launcher or open drawer and it will be added. Left-clicking the launcher "opens a drawer" with an icon view of each item for launching.
