How to change the size and order of the launcher panel?

  • 772

I have downloaded 12.04 and installed it under VirtualBox. The launcher in its default format is unsuitable for my needs.

The two main factors that I need to edit are (1) the size of the panel; and (2) the order in which the launch items are listed.

From the settings I have reviewed, it is not clear how to do this. How do I achieve this?

unity launcher 12.04

  4. To resize the panel you can use Unsettings. 

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:diesch/testing
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install unsettings

    About the order, well, you can just drag and drop the items in what order you please.

  5. This is actually pretty simple. To resize the Unity Launcher you have to go to the desktop Background options where you will find the slider which you can use to adapt the size.
