Think after Installing Ubuntu 11.04

Ubuntu 11.04 aka Natty Narwhal is relase. If you upgrading to Natty Narwhal, maybe you can tweak some apss. 


Install Compiz Config Manager and tweak it.

sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

Then search for CompizConfig Settings Manager in Dash and you'll find the Unity-related options under the "Unity" Compiz plugin. Some other options are under other plugins so check those out too.

Using CCSM, you'll be able to tweak the Unity launcher reveal mode, hide behavior, change some Unity-specific keyboard shortcuts, change the Unity launcher icon size, the top panel opacity, tweak various animations and more.
