Drive information like Windows 7?

  • 772

In Windows 7 the Computer area has drives sorted by Type which list the size remaining and a progress bar to represent the size currently in use.

Is there a way to customize Ubuntu 11.04 to do the same? (No previous modifications made)

I want to style the Computer section to look like Windows 7, not use what's already there.

nautilus

    Open System monitor and click on File system tab you will see all the Drive info there like this:

  2. Nautilus is entirely free software. You can customize it any way you wish. But to be honest, if you're using the Computer section of Nautilus very frequently, I think you should reexamine the way you work with Ubuntu. I had completely forgotten that it even existed and I believe it'll go away or at least be less accessible in 11.10.
