I have customised my Unity launcher's icon list with custom launchers . Now I want the same customised launcher to appear when i create a new user. Currently the default ubuntu launcher appears when I create a new user. How do I do that?
Tell me more

Ok, after googling around I found the answer. It's quite simple. The answer is a combination of the two answers above plus a few more. Open a Terminal and type the following command: That's it. Now all the changes will appear for the new user. This worked for me. I tested the changes by creating a new user. Note that this will not change the launchers for already existing users, just for newly created users. |

The favourites list is managed by a dconf entry. I'm no bash expert, but I believe if you add a command in the adduser file in /etc/skel to add the favourites list you have, then it should work for every new user. Sorry I can't really get it more technical yet (I will try to improve my answer). |

This is a speculative guess... I believe the adduser command is launched when creating a new user. It creates a new user home folder using the contents in /etc/skel if you run a ls -al /etc/skel you'll notice that there is a very basic folder structure. Try creating a .local/share/applications folder in /etc/skel. Then copy the contents of your .local/share/applications folder to /etc/skel/.local/share/applications |
