Is there a way (on Ubuntu 12.10) to manually set the launcher icon size to 0 to permanently hide it? I hate the launcher after they removed dodge windows and I'm using Cairo now for my dock.

    I don't see how it's a duplicate. In my comment to chad's answer I already stated I could hide it but I want the size to be 0, if we could edit the size down to 32 there must be a way to edit it down to 0 Apr 7, 2013 at 3:50

    And what will be the difference (in terms of results) in such a case?

If you have cairo dock installed (specifically cairo-dock-data) installed then when you log in you can click the ubuntu symbol to the right of your username and select the entry Cairo Dock (GNOME) or something to that effect. Enter in your password and when you log in your desktop will not have Unity and instead will just have Cairo Dock.

Hope this helps

    I want unity's top bar I just don't want the side launcher, I realize I can set it to autohide and reveal sensitivity to none, but I don't want to see it when I open dash or drag icons around. Apr 7, 2013 at 3:16
  • So let me get this straight you want to open the dash but you dont want unity?

    I want to use unity just not the "Dock" on the side. Apr 10, 2013 at 2:48
  • That is exactly what I want. It is especially annoying for me because I have two monitors and my mouse keeps getting "stuck" while moving from right to left.

  • So you want the dash but not the dock then? Either way, no matter what you want, it is impossible
