To add an application to the Unity launcher, run it and then Right-click it and check Keep In Launcher. Adding Applications to the Unity Launcher You can get rid of them, or at least make them less obtrusive, however. Note: You cannot remove the Workspace Switcher, the Applications, Files and Folders or any mounted drives in this manner. But after that, it’ll be out of your hair.

Removing Applications from the Unity Launcher So, let’s take some time to get things just the way we like them. When you first upgrade to Natty Narwhal, the Unity launcher will be full of junk that has little bearing on what you frequently use. The icons are a fixed size, and if your shortcuts exceed the vertical expanse of your screen, they’ll collapse into a Cover Flow-like manner. Application icons pop up here when they are running, and you can choose to keep your favorites there permanently ( similar to pinning an application to the taskbar).
While the Gnome panel was comparable to the Windows taskbar, the Unity launcher is more like the OS X dock. Rather, all graphical shortcuts are confined to the vertical launcher bar, which runs the height of the left-hand side of the screen and auto-hides.

If you’re familiar with Linux command, press Ctrl+Alt+T on keyboard to open terminal and run command: gsettings set .dash-to-dock show-show-apps-button false In brief, it’s slow and I use Activities button to search for and open applications.
The default ‘Show Applications’ app launcher is always a bit slow when I clicking on the 9 dots icon on left dock to show the app menu, even after disabled animation and changed privacy settings.Īnd I only use it to search for and open applications, which can be done alternatively via the top-left Activities button. This is a beginner’s guide shows how to remove the ‘Show Applications’ app menu icon from the dock in Ubuntu 20.04, Ubuntu 20.10.
