Customizing and Configuring Unity

Everyone likes to customize. Unity is quite new, and, as a result, not everything is customizable (yet). All existing options for customization and system settings are available in the System Settings menu.

System Settings

Search for “system settings” in the Dash. Click the System Settings icon to open the menu. The menu includes entries that enable you to change your desktop appearance, set up online accounts, configure additional languages for the system to use for displays, colors, keyboards, displays, and much more (see Figure 3.8).
