Is there any method available using which we can change the position of side bar laucher from left to right. I have installed the unity tweak tool but it only allows to auto hide the launcher. There are many tutorials which teaches about how to move launcher to the bottom but i am unable to find any links pertaining the position change to the right enter image description here

P.S. not to confuse with any other launcher i am uploading this picture

You cannot move the launcher itself.

Here is the comment on a bug about it

But you can make it look like with Cairo dock.

sudo apt-get install cairo-dock

Now you can play around with configurations and move the dock to the right.

Make Unity's launcher auto-hide and you have a launcher (actually not launcher, it is dock ) on the right.

I like Ubuntu for its customizability. Do you?

    Not being able to do something as basic as moving the default launcher to the right shows lack of customizability, not the opposite. Thanks for this workaround though

    @FranciscoH. Ubuntu has lots of customizations. You can easily change desktops as well as application launchers. Unity is new and can be dropped as a preference. Unity has its problems as in this case. But it's not forced on the Ubuntu users. I have the same grip as you see with Unity, but my grip is with Nautilus's lack of features. So I custimize my Ubuntu to use Nemo instead. Muzaffar, Yes! Me too. I like Ubuntu for its customizations. Jun 28, 2017 at 7:06
