Unity，经典的桌面环境，从 2010 年到 2017 年都是 Ubuntu 的一部分，将收到一个大的新版本。你可以期待它在 2023 年的某个时候发布，但目前还没有具体的发布日期。


但不是由 [Canonical](https://canonical.com) 发布。


**如果你不知道：** Unity 的开发由一位年轻的开发者 [Rudra Saraswat](https://about.ruds.io) 接手，他也是 [Ubuntu Unity](https://ubuntuunity.org) 衍生版的创造者，这是 Ubuntu 的一个官方特色版。


在最近的一篇 [博文](https://unityd.org/unity-7-7-peek/) 中，Rudra 向我们揭示了 Unity 7.7 的一角和即将到来的各种改进。


让我带你看看这些。


### Unity 7.7 值得期待的地方


![unity 7.7 一窥](/data/attachment/album/202212/31/154415avnktebmfawuk8zm.jpg)


这次披露的内容有很多，其中包括：


* 更新的欢迎应用程序
* UWidgets
* 改进的仪表盘
* 面板的调整
* 增强的通知指示器


#### 更新的欢迎应用程序

一个新的欢迎应用程序将被引入 Unity，它基于 Ubuntu Flutter 社区开发的原型（用 [Flutter](https://flutter.dev) 编写）。


这个应用程序将不只限于一个发行版，而是适用于 Unity 所支持的所有发行版。


#### UWidgets


![](/data/attachment/album/202212/31/154416rhb1ajgjgrgw1lvf.jpg)


终于有了，Unity 桌面上的小部件？像 KDE 一样？


好吧，在 Unity 中引入用 Python 编写的小部件，应该很简单就可以设置（只是复制几个文件的问题）。


屏幕截图展示了一堆小部件，如时钟、系统监视器、Spotify 的小部件等等。


这还不是全部，Rudra 还提到：



> 
> 我们将为 UWidgets 建立一个网页商店/仓库，在那里你可以提交你自己的小部件，或者下载并试用 Unity 7.7 上所有这些令人惊叹的小部件。
> 
> 
> 


这应该会使用户更容易找到和下载小部件！


#### 改进的仪表盘


![](/data/attachment/album/202212/31/154417x28xo1dep882ng6d.jpg)


<ruby> 仪表盘 <rt>  Dash </rt></ruby>也被刷新了，新的设计基于 Unity 7 的原始设计概念（在 Canonical 放弃它之前）。


按照截图，它应该不会占用大量的屏幕空间，而且还很有用。


#### 面板的调整


![](/data/attachment/album/202212/31/154418uo90u5h3gzh3x7aq.jpg)


现在的面板比之前的版本略大且更精致。


#### 增强的通知指示器

这对 Unity 来说是一个巨大的可用性改进；用户现在终于可以利用一个适当的通知指示器了。


它将显示与你的应用程序、系统和更多相关的基本通知。


#### 其他变化


![](/data/attachment/album/202212/31/154419rgl7hcmkxml4aagl.png)


一些更有用的技术改进包括：


* unity-control-center 的外壳 UI 得到了改进
* 默认的面板不透明度降低到 0.75
* 默认的启动器图标尺寸被缩小了
* 启动器按钮（Ubuntu 图标）被替换为半透明的图标，类似于 Ubuntu Unity 21.04 的启动器按钮。


*对 Unity 7.7 感到激动？请在下面的评论中告诉我你的想法。*

Unity, the classic desktop environment, a part of Ubuntu from 2010 to 2017, is all set to receive a big new release. You can expect it to release sometime in 2023, but there is no concrete release date yet.

But not by [Canonical](https://canonical.com/?ref=news.itsfoss.com).

**If you did not know:** The development of Unity was taken over by a young developer, [Rudra Saraswat](https://about.ruds.io/?ref=news.itsfoss.com), who is also the creator of [Ubuntu Unity](https://ubuntuunity.org/?ref=news.itsfoss.com), an official flavor of Ubuntu.

In a recent [blog post](https://unityd.org/unity-7-7-peek/?ref=news.itsfoss.com), Rudra showed us a sneak peek of Unity 7.7 and the various improvements that are set to come.

Let me take you through those.

## Unity 7.7: What To Expect?

![unity 7.7 sneak peek](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2022/12/Unity_7.7_Sneakpeek.jpg)

The sneak peek has revealed quite a few things, these include:

**Updated Welcome App****UWidgets****Improved Dash****Panel Tweaks****Enhanced Notification Indicators**

### Updated Welcome App

![unity 7.7 sneak peek welcome app](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2022/12/Unity_7.7_Sneakpeek_Welcome.jpg)

A new welcome app will be introduced to Unity, based on a prototype developed by the Ubuntu Flutter Community (written in [Flutter](https://flutter.dev/?ref=news.itsfoss.com)).

The app will not be limited to just one distro, but will be available for all the distros supported by Unity.

### UWidgets

![unity 7.7 sneak peek uwidgets](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2022/12/Unity_7.7_Sneakpeek_UWidgets.jpg)

Finally, widgets on the Unity desktop? Like KDE?

Well, the introduction of widgets to Unity, written in Python, should be straightforward to set up (only a matter of copying a few files).

The screenshot showcases a bunch of widgets, such as a clock, a system monitor, a widget for Spotify, and more.

That is not all, Rudra also mentions that:

We’ll be setting up a web store/repository for UWidgets, where you can either submit your own widgets, or download and try out all those amazing widgets on Unity 7.7.

This should make it easier for users to find and download widgets!

### Improved Dash

![unity 7.7 sneak peek dash](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2022/12/Unity_7.7_Sneakpeek_Dash.jpg)

The dash has also been refreshed with a new design based on Unity 7's original design concepts (before Canonical dropped it).

As per the screenshot, it should not take a lot of screen space and still be useful.

### Panel Tweaks

![unity 7.7 sneak peek panels](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2022/12/Unity_7.7_Sneakpeek_Panels.jpg)

The panel is now slightly bigger and more refined than the previous iteration.

### Enhanced Notification Indicators

![unity 7.7 sneak peek notification indicators](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2022/12/Unity_7.7_Sneakpeek_Notif.jpg)

This comes in as a huge usability improvement to Unity; users can now finally take advantage of a proper notification indicator.

It will display essential notifications related to your apps, system and more.

### Other Changes

![ubuntu unity control center](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2022/12/unity-control-center.png)

Some more useful technical improvements include:

**The unity-control-center shell UI has been improved.****The default panel opacity was reduced to 0.75.****The default launcher icon size has been reduced.****Launcher BFB (Ubuntu icon) was replaced with a half-transparent icon, similar to the Ubuntu Unity 21.04 launcher BFB.**
