The previous release of Ubuntu Unity, which was 20.10, had quite a number of changes made to start off the development cycle towards the next LTS release. Ubuntu Unity 21.04 has far fewer changes, perhaps indicating that the development team feels it is getting close to where they want it to be for the LTS. We will see if the next release, Ubuntu Unity 21.10, due out on 14 October 2021, introduces more changes or just some small refinements. | The previous release of Ubuntu Unity, which was 20.10, had quite a number of changes made to start off the development cycle towards the next LTS release.

Other changes include a new transparent Ubuntu Unity launcher button designed by Muqtadir, a new Plymouth boot-up screen design, and 12 new wallpapers. The wallpapers were all designed by Allan Carvalho and are specific to 21.04. Most of them are Hippo-themed to go with the release name, “Hirsute Hippo”. This wallpaper collection replaces the 54 wallpapers included in the last release, Ubuntu Unity 20.10, which I believe was an Ubuntu record. The move to 12 release-specific wallpapers is probably an admission that the previous 54 were a bit of an “overkill”. | Other changes include a new transparent Ubuntu Unity launcher button designed by Muqtadir, a new Plymouth boot-up screen design, and 12 new wallpapers.

This release includes 16 themes, 31 icon sets, plus the 12 wallpapers, so, once again, there are lots of choices for user customization. It is worth noting that, to get the full range of themes and icon sets, you need to use the included Unity Tweak Tool, as the normal menu choice of settings→ appearance→ theme offers only four of the theme choices. | This release includes 16 themes, 31 icon sets, plus the 12 wallpapers, so, once again, there are lots of choices for user customization.

The good news, of course, is that, with 16 themes and 12 wallpapers to choose from, it is easy to “lighten it up” a bit to the point where you can at least discern what you have open. Even the classic Ambiance and Radiance themes which were the Ubuntu standards for many years are available. | The good news, of course, is that, with 16 themes and 12 wallpapers to choose from, it is easy to “lighten it up” a bit to the point where you can at least discern what you have open.

Ubuntu Unity 21.04 is another strong release from the development team. The focus of this development cycle has been on including more user “look and feel” choices, while providing the efficient Unity 7 interface and a good range of applications.
