6 years ago And this will work with Ubuntu 16? Because that still uses the Unity Launcher doesn't it?

6 years ago this won't work for unity. You could try something like hiding the launcher and installing xfce4-panel or tint2

6 years ago Cool. I've looked into it and it seems I'll need to install the gnome shell. This won't effect compatibility with any programs will it? I'm an artist/designer and I'm installing some neural networks for a project I'm working on, but they have limited compatibility with versions of Ubuntu. Installing gnome shell won't effect the actual OS though correct?

6 years ago it wouldn't in theory, although unity and gnome will probably interfere on core files and you could crash your display server.
I'd recommend you first try xfce4-panel and see if it meets your needs, since there's no risk of unity crashing because of it

6 years ago Sure thing, thanks. I'll check that out. Also just to make sure I'm understanding correctly, that basically means that I'm installing the XFCE shell on Ubuntu correct?

6 years ago no, only the panel:
of course, you could install the complete xfce4 desktop, and that would be less of a hastle than just installing a single part of it

I installed the theme. This is my first time installing a theme on Ubuntu or Linux. I dropped it in the folder and it still wouldn't come up on the appearance tab, so I went to the boomerang website and decided to use the Unity Tweaker Tool to change the theme. That worked, but it didn't work for actual launcher bar.
Also main thing I'm just trying to do is get rid of all the extra crap on the launcher bar, and expand out the labels. I don't like having only icons to go off of and having to cycle through different windows of the app. I just refer good old fashioned taskbar. I know that's not normal for linux but I've seen some stuff that seems like it should be possible on Ubuntu but I can't figure out how.
