- This only took me 2 minutes. It removes almost all of UNR's user interface and lets me show off my desktop wallpaper.
- The default Ubuntu Remix User Interface
The Netbook Remix user interface files are stored in:
/usr/share/netbook-launcher
To edit the files
In a terminal type:
sudo nautilus
- then navigate to /usr/share/netbook-launcherThe files are saved as Scalable Vector Graphics. To edit them, I recommend Inkscape, a free and open source vector graphics editor. It is a powerful graphic editing tool that is fully compliant with the XML, SVG, and CSS standards.
To install Inkscape
In a terminal type:
sudo apt-get install inkscape
After editing the files, Log Out and back in for the changes to take effect.
My Inkscape skills are sub-par at best. My hack just erased the background. I would really like to see what the community comes up with. Feel free to take a screenshot (FN+Prnt Scrn) of your custom UNR interface and link to them in the comments. If you want, I can host your pictures and files and share them with everyone. Email me at redDEADresolve [at] gmail and I will put them in the article.

Hello,
How did you remove the borders etc in order to show your background more clearly? did you simply delete the associated svg files?
david,
I didn't delete them, I back them up and then erased the svg images so that they were blank.
thanks so much for this hack! i did as you suggested: installed inkscape and just erased the images. now i have a nice clear view of my wallpapers and can change the background at my leisure. your blog is a fantastic resource for us ubuntu mini9 users ^_^
