The panel below is gnome-panel, just like in gnome 2. There are two launchers, the normal gnome applications and places launcher and the slingshot launcher. Have a look, the cursor is pointed there.
Everything unity was uninstalled.
It is Raring Ringtail and it has all the desktop effects, which comes with Compiz.

I thought I'd play with the Unity launcher, but it is not that responsive. I tried to make it 24x24, but didn't want to go through all the files to find that place. I didn't want a fixed top panel too, so I opted for the Gnome panel, and placed my Launcher and other needed icons on it. It works like a charm.
It is Raring daily build updated and upgraded, but without Unity. Works much better and swifter than all these Cinnamon, Mate or upcoming(?) Gala and even Xfce. All applications open on the click. Boots up very well too.
Now is the time to concentrate on making a distro out of Precise, Quantal and Raring base. Out of the three, Raring has the most modern base and it would be a hit.
The screenshots would say more than the words.
Good day!

You must have heard me muttering under my breath ...
I suspect if you can be bothered to learn the keyboard shortcuts it works, I don't - I also have 2 screens - so having the launcher all the way over <---- doesn't help me much. I've a launcher at the bottom of the left hand screen in the right hand corner - sort of in the middle of both screens - works for me
Thanks for the suggestion. I am going to fix another screen and check this out. I never could do work on two screens, you know I design houses, and I don't want to be troubled by the other screen, but maybe I'd try. It is easy to take the laptop and do the work anywhere in the house or in the garden. Can't carry two screens with me.
By the way, I use the keyboard mostly, but the mouse is a helper, I can't do without.
Oh, you see an extra launcher sitting on the rocks? It could be moved anywhere you like.
The other matter is after seeing how modern Raring is, there is no going back to Precise.
Anyway, your suggestion is taken.
Good day!
