Ubuntu Unity Remix 20.04

Maybe apt install unity-mail

Got plans on switching to Yaru by default?

@YamiYukiSenpai I might include it, but I think I’ll keep the old theme as default, as this brings back the old experience that many requested for. I’ll probably create a poll to know what you guys want.

@ricard07 I’ll include the package to fix it in the next weekly build.

Do you want Ambiance or Yaru? Quick voting for this weekend’s build. Please vote here: https://twitter.com/ubuntu_unity/status/1259155885445623809

@nio-wiklund Thanks for your great feedback. Glad that it works well for you. Do let me know if you find any issues whatsoever. :+1:

And I have customized Unity to use GDM3 , rather than LightDM . These are just some of the many differences.

Why would you do that?

A few tweaks needed to Yaru IMHO. I think minimize and maximize buttons would look better if they were they had grey round behind them and making the titlebar color a little bit darker in the name of matching the GTK theme. This will both look better and will bring the old feeling, again IMHO :slight_smile:

oh sir … thanks for the hard work. Unity forever … I have read some comments and I am a bit surprised that they want to switch from LightDM to GDM3 and from Ambiance to Yaru … I think what we like most about Unity is that it is already a mature product … Yaru For its part, it still has a way to go to be stable. I don’t know, my humble opinion.

Yaru is a perfect match for unity. I’m using it right now and it’s gorgeous. Yes it could still be improved to match unity better: indicator icons are not the best, windows buttons could be smaller, lines between titlebar and toolbars could be smoothened. But it’s already looking very good (better than radiance / ambiance imho). As for GDM I think this is really an effort to keep not too many things to mantain. But I’m not a developer, so I don’t really know…

Nice work, but I have found some problems when ubuntu-unity-desktop was installed on ubuntu version > 16.
Here is one difference. In ubuntu 16, the scrollbar is gray and small and auto-hide overlay, it’s very graceful. But in ubuntu greater than 16(like 18, 20), it came to orange and can’t auto-hide. Can you fix it? I tried a lot but failed.

!6.04 has old overlay scrollbar which is not maintained. New version has gnome overlay scrollbar. It can not be fixed.

I just tried this remix in a VM and so far it looks really good. Have at least one friend sticking onto Ubuntu 16.04 because of Unity.

Would you consider compiling Firefox and Thunderbird with appmenu support? I know it has been done for Arch Linux and made available via the AUR. I use them for my Unity-like Plasma setup.

I am an Ubuntu Unity user since version 14.04 and it is really exciting to hear from him again!
¡Thanks to make possible Ubuntu Unity Remix is a great desktop!
In a prosper future, i think they notification bar need an update, maybe like notification of Unity8.
And i have a little problem of configuration. At present with 18.04 Unity, using de launcher on “Bottom position” in “Expo/ appearance” in configuration “Compiz config settings manager” the valor for “Y Bottom Offset” change every time when reboot the system.

@fernandomorea can you take a screenshot of Nautilus in Unity? I would like to see how it handles the CSD.

Thats great, but can you un-maximize it? You cant see the title bar this way! Thanks

Very impressive.

Would you like to give a short talk on your distro to my Linux group?

Am over on Twitter :slight_smile:
