Desktop change consequences

[Alf Haakon Lund]

I don't use unity, so I might be off target. But "heads up search" 
sounds like what synapse is doing for me. It's a small app that finds 
anything, files or programs. Hit ctrl-space to launch, type a few 
letters (just f and first suggestion is firefox, first suggestion adapts 
to what is most used). Navigate through suggestions with arrows.

Synapse is available in software center and synaptic.

As for changing desktop image, for me right-click on the desktop and 
choosing desktop settings gets me there. Or [ctrl-space], [de] and first 
suggestion is desktop settings.

Good luck on ubuntu studio, and never be afraid to ask!

All the best,
Alf
