What I don't like: - the Mac design ( MediterraneanNight[^1], Shiki-Brave[^2], please, we have enough Mac-clone skins already, and high contrast is just an eye-killer, seriously. ) - the position of the dock ( Plank ): before using Unity for a while, positioning the dock to the left seemed the worst idea ever - but suprisingly it is better with the wide screens and a lot faster to access. The first problem may be handled in a while, the second is easier: ``` {.bash} gedit ~/.config/plank/dock1/settings ``` Search for the line ``` {.bash} Position=3 ``` and change the number the way you want: ``` {.bash} 0 => left 1 => right 2 => top 3 => bottom ``` To position it top-left, right below the panel: Search for the line ``` {.bash} Offset=0 ``` and replace `0` with `-90` Save the file, log out, log in back again.
