Gnome Tweak Tool (Available in Repositories)





Gnome Tweak Tool will allow you to change lots of different options. However, it lacks Unity specific tweaks and is more suitable for Gnome Shell.









Install Gnome Tweak Tool by running command below:





sudo apt-get install gnome-tweak-tool





The above command will pull lots of packages including Gnome Shell (if not installed), so keep that in mind.





MyUnity (Available in Repositories)





MyUnity, as the name suggests, is a config utility specially designed for Unity desktop. It has many settings of Gnome Tweak Tool like changing themes, fonts etc plus extra options for tweaking Unity desktop. If you are using Unity only, go with it.













Install MyUnity by running command:





sudo apt-get install myunity





Ubuntu Tweak





Ubuntu Tweak is easily the one of the best applications for customizing Ubuntu. It has many more options then MyUnity, including recent support for App Center, Source Center, PPA Purge, Quicklist Editor, Login Settings etc.
