Make Your Gnome Shell Kind Of Look Like Unity With United Gnome Theme

You may have heard of the news about the Unity 8 development has stopped and Ubuntu is switching back to Gnome. If you have switched back to Gnome on your current desktop or planning to then here is good news for you. United Gnome can make your desktop feel like Unity but not exactly same. The idea behind this theme is a while back there was a concept what Ubuntu would look like in the future but that never happened. Then Aaron stepped in and tried to give concept a real look on the desktop using Gnome Shell desktop.
United Gnome theme uses Flat-plat theme as a base, it is intended to use on Gnome 3.24 but it is also compatible with Gnome 3.22 and 3.20 versions. This theme offers three GTK variants United(white version), United Dark(complete dark) and United Darker(White with dark titles); and five gnome shell variants allows you to choose what fits your needs.
Beside theme you can install these extensions to make desktop look more like Unity. Dash to dock: Enable panel mode and position it on the left; Dynamic Panel Transparency: The non-dark variant comes with a semi-transparent panel. Square icons used in the following screenshots.

Ubuntu Going Back To Gnome Desktop! Did I Hear It Right?

Yes, indeed, you heard/read it right. A moment of silence for my and your feelings about Ubuntu on phones and desktop "convergence". Yesterday was 5th of April not 1st and it doesn't seem like a April fool joke. For sure I didn't see that coming and it is shocking to me as well.

Yesterday Mark Shuttleworth published a post on Ubuntu insights:

I’m writing to let you know that we will end our investment in Unity8, the phone and convergence shell. We will shift our default Ubuntu desktop back to GNOME for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

Further he wrote:

I took the view that, if convergence was the future and we could deliver it as free software, that would be widely appreciated both in the free software community and in the technology industry, where there is substantial frustration with the existing, closed, alternatives available to manufacturers. I was wrong on both counts.

I believe in future somebody will try to implement the idea of "convergence" again and those will be lucky. I still think it can be somewhat possible but you should have what it takes, and it takes a lot, which we community don't have; Resources and time. We always look forward to the new release and we expect them to make great things for us but on the user side we don't do a thing to make this OS better, like programmers can give some free time to contribute to the project or if you can't program donate something to the project or help in any other way but We Don't and I guess very few of us did, that's why we are seeing this great thing dying.

Reaction?

My reaction to see Unity8 dying is like 50/50, stuck between two emotions. I am happy and sad at the same time, we can debate on that. Why I am happy? Because now canonical can focus on desktop operating system and will make much better progress. On the other side, I am sad too because I loved/preferred Unity7 and was expecting Unity8 to be superior, desktop and mobile/tablet devices friendly but now non of these going to happen anytime soon.
When Canonical announced the Ubuntu Touch for mobiles and showed a demo, I was quite happy and desperate to get Nexus 4 as soon as possible and try early versions of Ubuntu Touch, at that time Nexus 4 was the only mobile you could get Ubuntu Touch working. I followed along the development of Ubuntu Touch and I still have Nexus 4 as my secondary phone which I bought only to use/experience Ubuntu Touch (checkout my very first video - in excitement I forgot to remove screen protector came with nexus 4) and I did try Ubuntu Touch on my Nexus 7 (2012) tablet as well in 2013. Good old days.

Solution?

Well some people can/will fork it. But still it is not possible to continue development without huge resources, time and motivation (which we community don't have - "I guess"). UBports is well known site for Ubuntu phone community and after the yesterday's news Marius Gripsgard posted on his G+ account "I will do my best to keep Ubuntu touch and Unity8 standing on both it's legs! It will be hard." Lets see how it goes and how long he can maintain these two projects, let the time decide, I can't give you false hopes.
I wish canonical continue the development of Unity7 for many years but Gnome is a great desktop and it is around from a long long time and continue to evolve, I used and loved it too. Lets not forget about other awesome desktops too: Xfce, KDE, Cinnamon, Mate, LXDE; we still have great options to choose from depending on our needs. Also Mr. Shuttleworth mentioned "We will continue to produce the most usable open source desktop in the world." I wish canonical and Gnome project work together to make Gnome much better, so we can love it.

Future?

Future of Ubuntu is still bright. Canonical will now focus on the desktop OS, cloud (LXD, Juju, MAAS, BootStack, OpenStack) and IOT (Internet of Thing) and Snappy technologies will make progress and get polished.

Since Ubuntu is switching back to Gnome desktop, we will see Ubuntu Gnome project going away, well in my point of view that's not a big deal, what's the point of keeping a standalone Ubuntu Gnome project when we're already getting Gnome as default desktop.

What will happen to MIR display server project? There are so many unanswered questions and I am looking for answers too.

Let us know! what do you think about this whole situation.

dash disable searches privacy unity

Don't want third-party searches in Dash? Completely Disable Internet Searches in Ubuntu Dash

Ubuntu Dash got online search feature since '12.10 Quantal' version and in Linux community many of us has criticized Canonical Ltd on this step. Most of the people think that Canonical violating the privacy of users using online searches.
When Ubuntu 13.10 Raring was released, Canonical's David Callé has dropped a line on Google+ post that 'The smart scopes server now anonymizes images before serving them to your Dash.'. Still most of the people think that still it is not Anonymous (link1, link2). While some people find this convenient, others find it a violation of their privacy. Also Ubuntu makes it easy to turn this off by going to System settings.

The first thing you'll notice about the Dash is that when you search for something, you not only see local files but also Amazon-affiliated advertisements for products. You may heard of fixubuntu.com site, the guy simply wrote a command to disable search feature, Canonical sent notice to the owner to remove Ubuntu name/logo then Mark Shuttleworth apologized for Trademark action against fixubuntu.com in his post (A good move by Mark Shuttleworth).

So if you really don't want online searches and don't want to send request to ad server, here is simple script for you to fix it in your Ubuntu OS starting 12.10 support up-to newer versions.
This script uninstall 'Shopping Lens', turnoff 'Remote Search', disable 'remote scopes', and block connection to ad server by redirecting product search to 127.0.0.1 ip.

To disable online feature for Ubuntu Dash 12.10/13.04/13.10/14.04 open Terminal (Press Ctrl+Alt+T) and copy the following commands in the Terminal:

Terminal Commands:
wget -O disable-searches.sh http://drive.noobslab.com/scripts/disable-searches.sh
chmod +x disable-searches.sh;./disable-searches.sh;rm disable-searches.sh

That's it
