Ubuntu always had a super challenging task of proving worthy to desktop users. Here are some applications which you might have not noticed before but are essential to improve your desktop experience and make Ubuntu on your puter just a little better , enhancing the Ubuntu experience and making your life easier.
Gnome-Do: Those of you who have used Launchy on Windows or Spotlight on a Macintosh will fall in love with gnome-do. Hit +Space and voila , up do comes , and awaits for your instructions. Personally I think its the bets launcher I have ever seen and I am surprised other operating systems have nothing like this ! It can definately improve your application launches and quick searches. It also supports plugins that allow you to include more desktop functionality into gnome-do.
Screenlets: If you were ever envy of an Apple’s dashboard or surprised Google never got widgets and the sidebar running on the Linux version of Google Desktop then maybe you shouldn’t be anymore. Screenlets is an application that offers modular widgets for your desktop that offer a pleathora of uses depending on each widget. They can be made sticky , widget , kept below or above other apps and they offer some very nice eye candy and functionality.
