How can I remove the Unity Launcher?
- by Magnus Hoff
I'm running Ubuntu Netbook. With the recent upgrade to 10.10 I was excited about the Application Menu/the global menu bar and its implications for screen real estate.
Unfortunately, the Unity Launcher on the left hand side of the screen takes more valuable space away than the new menu bar gives.
Is there any way to get rid of the Launcher?
Alternatives I would be satisfied with include:
Not having the Launcher at all
Having the Launcher hide automatically
Having applications open on top of the Launcher (not next to it)
(edit:) Note that I am specifically looking for a way to keep the global menubar, while getting rid of the Launcher.
