Unite is a GNOME Shell extension that tweaks the top panel layout and removes window decorations to make GNOME Shell look like Ubuntu Unity. It adds window buttons, shows window titles in the app menu, moves tray icons and notifications, and offers configurable options via the extensions settings.
Use cases
- make gnome shell look like ubuntu unity
- add window buttons to the gnome top panel
- remove titlebars from maximized windows
- show current window title in the app menu
- move legacy tray icons to the top panel
- hide the activities button in gnome shell
- move notifications to the right side of the screen
When to choose
- you want a Unity-like desktop experience on a modern GNOME Shell
- you prefer global window controls and titles in the top panel
- you want to declutter maximized windows by removing titlebars and headerbar controls
When to avoid
- you use Wayland exclusively and need features depending on xprop
- you like the default GNOME Shell layout and headerbars
- you run a GNOME version not supported by the extension
