All: I am running Unity 3D and I want to set my launcher to never hide. I first ran ccsm, and set "Hide Launcher" to "Never". I rebooted then logged back in and it was still auto-hiding.

I then ran gconf-editor, I navigated to /apps/compiz-1/plugins/unityshell/screen0/options and then set launcher_hide_mode to 0. I again rebooted and logged back in. The launcher is still auto-hiding.

Checking gconf-editor, launcher_hide_mode is set to 0, but this setting isn't active however.

What can I do to get the launcher to Never hide?

Thanks,

Jim

You should run echo $DESKTOP_SESSION in a terminal to see what Unity version you are running. Especially when you updated your videocard drivers. Chances are something ent wrong and it falls back to 2d.

  • The question is about the hide behavior. Would the solution be different for 2D vs 3D? Jan 30, 2012 at 19:08
  • Yes, Unity 3d (default if supported hardware/drivers) works with compiz, and Unity 2d doesn't. So changing settings in CCSM will have no effect if you are running Unity 2d.
