In Unity 5.4, log on to Ubuntu 12.04 and introduce the HUD. The new tool prompts you to design the buttons again.

Unity 5.4 has just logged on to Ubuntu 12.04, and LTS has reached another high level of design. This version fixes the new HUD feature.

What is HUD?

Because Heads Up Display (HUD) stands for "head Up Display ".

Now let's talk about its origins and you will understand what it is. Mark Shuttleworth, the founder of Ubuntu, is a very experienced person who has his own private plane. Of course, he will drive the plane. Most modern passenger planes provide drivers with an "auxiliary tool", so they do not need drivers to "Bow down" to view the instrument (to avoid driving "distraction "), A translucent "Small Window" is displayed in the driving window, so that you can view the meter data without the driver's "Bow down" and keep abreast of the "Important Parameters" in flight. For example: the number of fuel retention and the instantaneous flight direction.

This is the HUD, which is irrelevant to the computer and applied to the computer by Mark Shuttleworth.

Mark Shuttleworth has set the two together. near each application's "icon", he intentionally pasted a translucent "Small Window" and called this "Small Window" (HUD ). For example, in the HUD window for watching the football match "icon", the user fills in two words "watching the ball" (or enters "watching the ball" using the voice), and the computer will remember. At that time, you only need to enter "watching the ball" to watch the game immediately, without the need to time and effort to find the icon of "football match", or simply shout to the computer, I want to "Watch the ball", the computer will understand what you mean (can recognize your speech ).

With this "head-up display" (HUD) technology, you can talk to a computer, such as: I want to "Watch the ball", View "stocks" (quotations), "news broadcast ", ......, The computer will immediately respond and understand what you mean. It's really Smart ). On June 18, Mark Shuttleworth announced in his blog that Ubuntu 12.04 (LTS) will introduce the HUD control system.

After talking about the HUD, let's see what new functions will Unity 5.4 have?

• By default, HUD is enabled and command input is used to provide the result (by opening the corresponding application );
• Call the HUD by Alt key and highlight. By default, the first action/application is displayed by hitting the input to execute the first result.
• The HUD feature is decorated with a mix of dash and an adaptive appearance (its size is adjusted based on the included results). In addition, the Key trigger on the HUD can be changed to display the HUD through CompizConfig settings Manager-> Ubuntu Unity Plugin-> Behavior-> Key
