I always removed the bottom panel, because the screen looked liked a
cage for me, and I'm a pixel-fanatic (every little line of pixels
counts, especially on the 1366x768 notebook screen). Instead of the
bottom panel I used Docky on the side of the screen. I also don't
like menubars that can't autohide, just waste of space (I prefer
keyboard hotkeys, etc.).<br>
<br>
With Unity Canonical almost did the same layout, so I switched
because I find the unity panel better than the gnome-panel, and
docky always annoyed me for some reason (slowed down boot, used a
lot of performance sometimes, but it was the best for from docks I
tried). Unity also made me realize how Desktop Wall is better than
Cube for my work-flow. Many can argue, but Unity looks and feels
clean and professional to me.<br>
<br>
I can see the potential in Unity. The only thing I miss at the
moment is the ability to change the launcher alpha/opacity but as
far as I know it's on its way. <br>

Hi everyone,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>There's a good discussion going on initiated by Sebastian but
I wanted to start a separate thread asking why you, as a power
user, use Unity? I am curious, what made you say: "This is
better than the way it was before". Was it the way it looked?
Some particular feature? If you don't use Unity, why not?
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>Personally, I still use the Classic Desktop because I feel
I don't have any of the problems Unity aims to solve. Also, I
use easystroke and multiple monitors and Unity was not very
compatible with my existing way of doing things. To me, it
wasn't better...just different (like when the window buttons
were moved) so why change my habits?</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So how about you? I think this might help us organize our
thoughts and what we want from this group. It is not my
intention to start a flame-war so let's be respectful to each
other. Cheers.</div>
