Minimalist UI
-
I'm a Windows Phone user, I moved to Ubuntu beceuse I feel its the next best thing. And I'm confidant it will be great. however one thing I found about the WP 10 was very good was its built in customizations that no other system had or has now. For instance, I would setup the background to be black, remove every tile, and make all tiles transparent. I would only put the phone, messaging, and calculator on my home screen. The white / transparent tiles against the black background was not only cool looking it was high contrast. I wish there were ways we could remove all apps from the scope, and just launch what we wanted from the launcher, or just have a few favorites on the main screen. I guess what I'm saying is adding in more personalization tools that lend well to creativity, not just a set of templates that can be installed.

I agree, @matridium - It would be really nice to tidy away the app tray behind the Ubuntu button, as it does on the desktop.
[I've got my background black though - that's not difficult to do]
Have you used the UT Tweak Tool app? That also gives you some options.

@3arn0wl I too have a black background. yeah I'm using the tweak but it leaves much of the appearance in tact. I want way more control. lets hope this changes.

Opt-out possible?

@matridium you have some customization by default that you can extend using apps like UT Tweak Tool (1) or Falcon (2)
For example you can set your favorite apps to be shown in the app scope with UT Tweak Tool.
You also can add or remove apps from the launcher pressing and holding a finger on the icon.

@rotersand you are posting without giving context or any explanation of what you're trying to say. I.e. only one of four of your posts make any sense.
As you're a newcomer to this forum, please learn basic net-etiquette. Thank you.

Sorry if I didn't make myself clear. My question was whether it is possible to disable this round shape on the unlock screen. I would prefer an empty screen without any visualizations.

@rotersand no, you can't change that image AFAIK.

You can disable the InfoGraphic by going to Settings > Security & Privacy > turn off "Stats on welcome screen"
