Ubuntu Tweak 0.8.2: Quantal Ready!

Posted on November 4, 2012 by Tualatrix Chou

First I would like to thank you all for the support of Ubuntu Tweak, I received many donations for the past week. All of the donation are listed here: http://ubuntu-tweak.com/donations/ (Not completed yet).

And today I’m very pleased to announce that Ubuntu Tweak 0.8.2 is released. The goal of this version is support for Ubuntu 12.10 and improving the Apps.

Let’s get started from the release notes:

Overview of Changes

Show apps installation status
No more Desktop Recovery and Shortcut for 12.10
Add option to turn off Unity Web Apps
Remove “show User indicator” option for 12.10
Love Wallpaper HD is ready

Bugs fixed

Quicklists load failed in 12.04 (LP: #1073004)
Window control button position not working for Ubuntu 12.10 (LP: #1061218)
Window titlebar font setting is not working under 12.10 (LP: #1069669)
Window theme setting is not working under 12.10 (LP: #1069670)
Error in Translations it.po (LP: #1069028)

The back of tweaks

First of all, Ubuntu Tweak is Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal ready from 0.8.2, this means you can tweak the window control button position, window theme and other settings like in Ubuntu 12.04. So enjoy tweaking again!

In this version, I also removed some features that don’t work since Ubuntu 12.10, like Desktop Recovery (because it only works with Gconf) and Shortcuts. You can still set arbitrary commands with shortcuts through CCSM.

Ubuntu Tweak 0.8.2 also provided some Ubuntu 12.10 specific tweaks, like “Web Apps Integration”. If you don’t need the Web Apps feature in Ubuntu 12.10, you can turn it off easily.

Apps with installation status

In Apps, now you will see a green icon that indicate if an app is installed. And as you can see, some latest apps for Ubuntu have been added, like Polly, Stormcloud.

You will always get the latest and coolest apps from Apps in Ubuntu Tweak, currently I will make approval for these apps .

Find the wallpaper you love in Love Wallpaper HD

The “Love Wallpaper HD” is officially introduced, you can browser the random wallpapers that fit your screen size in it. By clicking “I’m Feeling Lucky” you can always get new pictures, by double-clicking the picture, Ubuntu Tweak will download and set the wallpaper for you automatically.

The picture will be saved at ~/.config/ubuntu-tweak/lovewallpaper.jpg, if you like it, you can move it out.

Notes: this is a service that located in China, so you may encounter the network access issue. Currently there’s no way to solve it, I will keep an update if the service provider has some news.

Download and Install

Here’s deb link (PPA is ready).

Enjoy!

Hello! Sorry for my English, I’m from Russia.
You have not considered this possibility, as the addition of tweaks: preload, vm.svappiness and so on? It would be great to have the opportunity in your application.

  EDIT:
  Apparently my version of Linux Mint (Ubuntu 11.10), does not support the latest version of Ubuntu Tweak, so I’m staying in 0.7.3 version at least until you solve compatibility issues.
  Thanks
