Supports Unity, Gnome best, may have some vital functions not working under Cinnamon,XFCE and others, rocks under Ubuntu with Unity. It is a tool for advanced users who know what they are doing on their machine!
I usually install Ubuntu Tweak with each new install, but lately I've only used it to clean the cache and remove repository links. To me I can do with out it since I now use a script to clean up the unwanted packages and cache and use synaptic to maintain the repositories. So I no longer need it and plan to remove it. If your a Ubuntu user it's a good tool but for Mint it's a waste of disk space when all you do is use a few of its options.
Excelente no Ubuntu com o Unity já que a sua integração de personalização é melhor lá. Só falta função de mover a barra do Unity já que ela na parte da esqueda fica muito estranho. O programa é excelente, além de personalizar permite limpar o cache, remover kernel antigo do sistema, entre outros. Recomendo o download.
What joke. Unless running Ubunty Unity, there are few options hat have any real affect on "tweaking" the actual environment layer. And I somehow remember this utility having a lot more to it the last time I looked a while back.
It reminds me of the Ccleaner app for windows. Especially useful for cleaning packages that are not needed. Works for me.
