| Replace Unity |
|
Here is an easy way to use cairo-dock as a shell, instead of Unity.
It will remove the top panel and the left bar.
- Log-out from your session
- Click on the small ubuntu button just next to the password entry; it will pop up a menu with the different available sessions
There should be Ubuntu, Ubuntu2D, cairo-dock and cairo-dock without effects (no opengl)
- Choose the cairo-dock session (or the one without the effects if your graphic card doesn't support them)
- Enter your password and press enter
That's all ! 
Now, the next time you'll start your PC, you will get into the cairo-dock session.
Note:
You may want to use a more complete theme than the default one:
Right-click on the dock -> cairo-dock -> configure, and choose the Unity-1 theme.
It's a theme that is quite similar to Unity (left dock with launchers and taskbar, top panel with several useful applets).
Note2: the first time you log into the cairo-dock session, it may take a few seconds to start. This is because Unity is being removed. The next time, it will be much faster 
Note3: Unity is not deleted, it will only not be launched, so you will not break anything. You can revert the changes by selecting the Ubuntu session during the log-in. |
