Ubuntu Tweak

Posted on 07:54 by Unknown


If you use windows and like to change things that normally are either very hidden or are simply not given as an option to you then you probably use one of the famous tweak tools, such as TweakXP, or Microsoft's Power Toys add on.

Thankfully for those of us who use Ubuntu, their is available an app called Ubuntu Tweak.

As it states on their homepage, in the 'home' tab:

"Ubuntu Tweak is an application to config Ubuntu easier for everyone.

It provides many useful desktop and system options that the default desktop environment doesn't provide.

With its help, you will enjoy with the experience of Ubuntu!"

Here is a list of some of the features available though Ubuntu Tweak:
