Is it possible to remove "Show Desktop" from the Alt+Tab application switcher?
I've uploaded a Unity build for 12.04 that fixes this (no Show Desktop in the Alt-Tab switcher).
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:izx/askubuntu -y
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install unity
You can enable the "Show Desktop Icon" setting in the Unity Plugin in Compiz (using ccsm
) to get the icon on the Launcher on the left:
If/when a new Unity update is released, Update Manager will download it automatically. I will try to "fix" the update and put it in the PPA as soon as possible; please add a comment to this answer to alert me if you upgrade and "Show Desktop" re-appears in the Switcher!
I modified the Unity Source. It consists of two steps:
plugins/unityshell/src/LauncherController.cpp
, which by default adds the "Show Desktop" icon to the switcher:// results.push_back(pimpl->desktop_icon_);
Change line 1638 in plugins/unityshell/src/unityshell.cpp
from:
if (!(results.size() == 1 && results[0]->GetIconType() == AbstractLauncherIcon::IconType::TYPE_DESKTOP))
to
if (!results.size() == 0))
