Will i lose this look of ubuntu ive come to know and love through my customization?

obviously i will lose it on unity, but what about "classic mode"?

upgrading from update manager

and i was also thinking, is there some way i could put a second taskbar on the bottom using unity that i could put applet- like icons? ie cpus, cpu temp, temp, etc

Yes - say goodbye to those

You can whitelist apps so they appear in the notification area

this is quite simple and works fine - I've currently put pidgin and dropbox in there

gsettings get com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist

will list your current whitelist, you can then add entries and then use

gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist "['JavaEmbeddedFrame', 'Wine', 'Dropbox']"

to update it, for example mine currently reads

['JavaEmbeddedFrame', 'Mumble', 'Wine', 'Skype', 'hp-systray', 'Pidgin', 'Dropbox']

so this would be

gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist "['JavaEmbeddedFrame', 'Mumble', 'Wine', 'Skype', 'hp-systray', 'Pidgin', 'Dropbox']"

this doesn't fix the dreadful lack of a taskbar (I am _really_ missing that) but it helps a bit
