Hello,
I'm new to Ubuntu (actually Linux in general) and am trying to get into it. Right now I am just fooling around with the look of my desktop. I have figured out how to mess around with themes and docks a little bit, but I am having two problems. I hope someone can help me. I realize this has most likely been asked before, but I have searched for a while and could not find my answers.
How do I get rid of the default menu system and get a 'task bar' up top like I see in everyone's screen shots? I have uploaded an image to show what I am talking about. (Screen shot -1)
Every once in a while my top bar and bottom dock just disappear visually. Or sometimes my application windows will just disappear visually. I have to reboot to get them back. If I had a video going in youtube for example, I can still hear the sound but I cant see anything (even using alt+tab, etc) I have to attached an image to show this (Screen shot -2)
Thanks for your help,
