| Hello everyone.

Welcome to this spoken tutorial on '''Desktop Customization in Ubuntu Linux OS'''

|-
| 00.08
| In this tutorial we will learn
* About the '''Launcher '''
* How to Remove and add applications in the '''Launcher'''
* Use multiple '''desktops'''
* '''Internet connectivity'''
* '''Sound settings'''
* '''Time and Date '''settings
* and switch to other '''user accounts '''

|-
| 00.27
| For this tutorial I am using '''Ubuntu Linux OS''' 14.10

|-
| 00.34
| Let's begin with the '''Launcher.'''

|-
| 00.36
| '''Launcher''' is the default left-side '''panel''' in the '''Ubuntu''' '''Linux desktop, '''which has some default applications.

|-
| 00.44
|The '''Launcher''' makes it easy to access frequently used applications.

|-
| 00.49
|So, we can launch a program by clicking on its "desktop shortcut" on the '''Launcher'''.

|-
| 00.56
| By default, the '''Launcher '''has some applications.

|-
| 01.00
| Let us learn to '''customize''' the '''Launcher''' based on our requirements.

|-
| 01.06
| For my regular work, I need applications like '''Terminal, LibreOffice Writer, Gedit and so on'''.'''

|-
| 01.15
|Let's add these applications on the '''Launcher.'''

|-
| 01.19
| Before doing that, I will remove some of the applications which I don't want.

|-
| 01.25
| Say, I wish to remove the '''VLC '''application.'''

|-
| 01.30
| So, right-click on the '''VLC '''application icon and select '''Unlock from Launcher.'''

|-
| 01.37
| You can see that the '''VLC '''application icon has been removed from the '''Launcher'''.

|-
| 01.43
| In the same way, we can remove all the shortcuts which we don't use frequently.

|-
| 01.49
| I have removed some applications from the '''Launcher '''on my '''desktop, '''as you can see here.

|-
| 01.55
| Now, I will add the '''Terminal''' shortcut to the '''Launcher.'''

|-
| 02.00
| Click on '''Dash Home.'''

|-
| 02.02
| In the '''search bar,''' type “'''terminal'''”.

|-
| 02.05
| Click on the '''Terminal''' icon to open it.

|-
| 02.09
| You can see the '''Terminal''' icon on the '''Launcher.'''

|-
| 02.13
| To fix the '''Terminal '''icon on the '''Launcher, '''first right-click on it.

|-
| 02.18
| Then click on '''Lock to Launcher.'''

|-
| 02.21
| Another way to fix application shortcuts on the '''Launcher '''is by dragging and dropping. I will demonstrate this now.

|-
| 02.30
| Open '''Dash Home''' and in the '''search bar, '''type '''libreOffice'''.

|-
| 02.37
| Drag the '''LibreOffice '''icon onto the '''Launcher.'''

|-
| 02.42
| As we do so, the help text may appear saying “'''Drop to Add application”.''' Don’t worry if no help text appears.

|-
| 02.51
| Now, drop the '''LibreOffice '''icon on the '''Launcher.'''

|-
| 02.55
| You can see that the shortcut is now added to the '''Launcher.'''

|-
| 03.00
| This is how we can add shortcuts on the '''Launcher.'''

|-
| 03.04
| The next important feature in '''Ubuntu Linux OS''' is '''multiple desktop''' or '''Workspace Switcher'''.

|-
| 03.12
| Sometimes we may be working on multiple applications.

|-
| 03.17
| And we may find it difficult to switch from one application to another.

|-
| 03.22
| To make it more convenient, we can use '''Workspace Switcher.'''

|-
| 03.27
| Let’s come back to the '''Launcher'''.

|-
| 03.30
| On the '''Launcher,'''locate '''Workspace Switcher''' icon. Click on it.

|-
| 03.36
| It shows 4 quadrants with 4 '''Desktops'''.

|-
| 03.40
| By default, the top-left '''Desktop''' is selected.

|-
| 03.44
| That is the '''Desktop '''in which we are currently working.

|-
| 03.48
| Now, let’s select the second '''Desktop''' by clicking on it.

|-
| 03.53
| I will open the '''Terminal''' here by clicking on the icon in the '''Launcher'''.

|-
| 03.59
| Now, click on the '''Workspace Switcher '''again'''.'''

|-
| 04.02
| You can see the '''Terminal '''on the second '''Workspace Switcher''' and our '''Desktop''' on the first.

|-
| 04.09
| In this way, you can work on '''multiple Desktops'''.

|-
| 04.12
| Let us come back to the first '''Desktop'''.

|-
| 04.15
| '''Trash''' is another important icon on the '''Launcher.'''

|-
| 04.19
| '''Trash''' contains all the deleted files and folders.

|-
| 04.23
| In case we delete a '''file''' accidentally, we can restore it from '''Trash.'''

|-
| 04.28
| To demonstrate this, I will delete '''DIW ''' file, which is on my '''Desktop.'''

|-
| 04.33
| Right-click on the file and click on the option '''Move to Trash.'''

|-
| 04.38
| To restore it, just click on the '''Trash icon '''in the '''Launcher.'''

|-
| 04.43
| The '''Trash '''folder opens.

|-
| 04.46
| Select the '''file, '''right-click on it and click on '''Restore'''.

|-
| 04.50
| Close the '''Trash ''' window and come back to the '''desktop'''.

|-
| 04.54
| We can see the file which we deleted earlier is now restored.

|-
| 04.59
| To delete a file permanently from your system, first select it and then press '''Shift+Delete.'''

|-
| 05.07
| A dialog box saying Are you sure want to permanently delete '''DIW''' will appear. Click on '''Delete'''.

|-
| 05.15
| Click on the '''Trash '''icon once again.

|-
| 05.18
| We can't find the file in the '''Trash '''folder, as it is permanently deleted from our system.

|-
| 05.24
| Now, we'll see some applications available at the top right corner of the '''Desktop.'''

|-
| 05.31
| First one is '''Internet connectivity. '''

|-
| 05.34
| Connection is established if you are connected to any '''Lan''' or '''Wifi network.'''

|-
| 05.39
| You can see these over here.

|-
| 05.42
| You can select the '''network''' which you have access to.

|-
| 05.46
| To '''Enable/ Disable''' the network, check/uncheck the '''Enable Networking''' option.

|-
| 05.52
| We can also edit the networks using '''Edit Connections''' option.

|-
| 05.57
| Next option is '''Sound.''' Click on it.

|-
| 06.00
| You can see a slider here. This helps us to increase or decrease the audio level, as per our choice.

|-
| 06.07
| We can further adjust the sound level of our system by clicking on '''Sound Settings'''.

|-
| 06.14
| Explore the settings in this window on your own.

|-
| 06.17
| Next icon is '''Time & Date'''.

|-
| 06.20
| If we click on this icon, the calendar opens up. We can see the current date, month and year here.

|-
| 06.29
| Arrow buttons allow us to move to other months and years, as per our choice.

|-
| 06.35
| We can edit date and time by clicking on '''Time & Date Settings'''. Explore this option further on your own.

|-
| 06.44
| Next, click on the '''wheel''' icon.

|-
| 06.47
| Here we can see some shortcut options along with '''Log Out''' and '''Shut Down''' options.

|-
| 06.53
| We can also see all the '''User accounts''' available in our system.

|-
| 06.59
| We can switch to whichever user account we wish to, by clicking on that particular user.

|-
| 07.05
| Let us summarise.

|-
| 07.07

* About the '''Launcher '''
