There’s a long time since the 0.2.10′s release. Now I’m proud to announce the first release of Ubuntu Tweak 0.3 series: Ubuntu Tweak 0.3.0 is coming!
I decided to release it when the Ubuntu 8.04′s release, but something wasn’t done yet.
I saw some people can’t run Ubuntu Tweak 0.2.10 under Ubuntu 8.04, so the 0.3.0 comes, you should get it. It is support Hardy with full features!

At Ubuntu Tweak 0.3.0, there’s many bugs fix and ui improvement, you may not notice it, but it’s really happens.
The most important thing is: Ubuntu Tweak is not only support Ubuntu, it is also support some major distributions, such as Fedora, OpenSUSE. Of course, it must be GNOME desktop. But I haven’t the time to create other distribution’s package, and I’ll continue focus on Ubuntu system.
The screeshot shows that Ubuntu Tweak running on Fedora 9 Preview:
New feature? Yes. One new feature is added, that’s “Shortcuts” settings.
At daily work, You must have some often used applications, why not start them by just press one key(single or combination). Through Ubuntu Tweak 0.3.0, it’s very easy to set a shortcut.
The screenshot of shortcuts settings:
I hope this new feature would be helpful to you.
Thanks to the people report bugs on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-tweak/trunk/, I’ve fixed most bugs, now this application is more stable than before. It can run well since Ubuntu 7.04(GNOME 2.18).
OK, You must want to get it.

Thanks!
kind of a newbie to ubuntu, but does ubuntu restrict the cpu? i noticed that the cpu policy is @ 85% by default. any reason why it is not 100%?

Hi,
thanks for the release!
Some strings are not translateable, for example:
“You can safely delete the item, it will only been marked as hidden…”
“disabled” (shortcuts)
Bye

Great App. I have been using this since feisty, gutsy, and now hardy. I just updated to the 0.3, but there is no Compiz control. Is this coming?
Thanks

I keep getting an error message: “Sorry, Ubuntu Tweak closed unexpectedly.” I’m using Hardy and have updated to the correct source list.

To dman,
The reason why Compiz control isn’t appearing in Ubuntu Tweak for you, is because you haven’t downloaded the advanced Desktop Effects Settings..
Great work yet again Tualatrix, looking forward to the next release as always

Wow. And to think that just a few days ago I thought there should be customizable shortcuts… Good work!!!
Thank you Lee Jarratt. That did the job. I hadn’t downloaded ccsm because I didn’t want the full blown compiz effects manager. But I found “Simple-CCSM”, which puts simpler compiz controls in the Appearance Menu. Exactly what I need.
