It will be possible to configure COSMIC to look like Unity out of the box. There’s only a few panel applets that need to be implemented to make the experience 1:1.

    1. That’s not implemented, but you can click the maximize button, or press Super+M to toggle maximization.
    2. You can open the Appearance settings page and change that to your preferred color scheme. We’ve already selected our default colors and they’re not going to change from here on out.
    3. What do you mean by minimal? The PrintScrn key opens the screenshot utility, which lets you choose between capturing a selected region, a specific window, or the whole display
    4. What’s wrong with the file manager and editor? You can use whatever editor and file manager you want, so that shouldn’t be a blocker for daily use.
    5. This can be configured in the cosmic comp config, but will be implemented in the settings app soon.
    6. Super+W opens the workspaces view
    7. Your distribution should make sure pop-launcher is installed, and each of its plugins symlinked.
    8. That is already possible in the Desktop and Panel settings page. As you can see, I’m not using a GNOME style panel or dock here.

      1. I found that it only works in tiling mode, which may be better but normal snapping in windowed mode is pretty normal I think.
      2. Okay thats fair
      3. Clicking on the notification doesnt open the image, there is no recording and it has no editing :D but it works well and way quicker than Spectacle
      4. Added features I like about dolphin. For sure I could install dolphin instead. I would also prefer a places bar where you can click on the parent directories, clicking on the empty space after them activates manual path selection mode. But the filemanager is already pretty nice. In the editor I would miss things like LSP and text snippets, but it seems very nice for its purpose.
      5. That view is nice, but the drag-drop animation is similar to KDE (apps need to already be opened) and they are not minimized during the action, so it looks a bit clunky. Also removing workspaces is kinda buggy.

      Disclaimer: using the latest ublue cosmic 40 image, no idea if the RPMs are up to date.

          It’s funny how I find cosmic-editor to be perfect for code too

          Nice, I already tried that editor. Thanks!
