The new Unity desktop provides a user experience tailored to laptops and an on the go life style. For those who are interested in using Impression on the desktop, Impression Unity provides a similar experience on the laptop.

The Unity desktop sports an application dock on the left and a desktop menu bar top. The traditional bottom panel is missing to maximize viewing space as most applications run maximized.

Workspace Widget

One of the “coolest” features of Unity is the workspace widget. I really like how little space it consumes on the dock and the functionality when clicked. It should be noted the dock and the desktop menu bar are themed as default in the Impression Unity series.
