http://askubuntu.com – I am currently using (and enjoying) Lubuntu 12.10 on an older desktop, since the last time I tested it, it has improved a lot, but I really got used to Unity workflow and it has become quite an habit to manage applications and windows with the launcher. Using Synapse as an attempt to replace dash, I already created a panel on the left margin of the desktop with the shortcuts to my favorite programs, but they only open the apps, the window management is still made on the bottom panel. I tried to use this default bottom panel on the left but the results were not satisfatory. Besides, some appl (HowTos)

Hi

My question relates to Lubuntu 13.04. I simply want to add a couple of new quick launcher applets into the panel. E.g Firefox but I can't seem to do it. I can drag firefox on to the desktop but not to the panel. I tried looking in panel proerties etc and while theres the option to add applets Firefox is not listed.

In Ubuntu 11.04 Unity, you might prefer the left launcher bar but dislike the searching-style app menu in top-panel.

Hi,

I started using Gnome 3 and loved it but its just no good at multitasking. Finding windows in the top left corner thing is impossible when you have a lot of windows open. I need my bottom panel back.

I've installed frippery bottom panel but wow does it look bad!

So i updated the system... after that, the bottom panel broke.I tried to delete and add a new panel, but it didn't work.

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.

If you don't like other components of Unity interface like the launcher on left, lenses, dash etc, there is a way to disable them and use a custom dock. This can be done by making a custom session f
