Use Gnome to build your Ubuntu desktop

I. Installing GNOME

Open terminal, enter command:
sudo apt-get install gnome
download installation time a little longer, do not be silly to see,
casually to do something to go back after a while;

Two. Configure the desktop

This is the original desktop;

There is also a Recycle Bin icon on the table to see if it is a bit of an eyesore, let's hide the Recycle Bin;
input command:
gnome-tweak-tool

Remove the Recycle Bin, then the desktop is clean;

three. Installation and expansion
1. Install Dash to Dock

Open Store > Add-ons >shell extensions

Then find the dash to dock point to go in and install it;

After the installation is complete, the configuration window will automatically pop out,
if not pop out should not be installed,
you can also command to open the Configuration window;

Play a lot, diy it yourself

The same in shell extensions find dynamic TOP bar click Install;

After the installation of the effect is the top of the status bar transparent, is refreshing;

3. Install Drop down Terminal

4. Install coverflow alt-tab

The same in the shell extensions inside find Coverflow alt-tab Click Install,
this effect is to change the page when the effect is more cool;
