Show Desktop Icon in Ubuntu 12.04
I am still surprised why Ubuntu 12.04 doesn’t have show desktop icon by default ( Basic Configuration ) . It is little annoyed user need it to explicitly install a utility for show desktop icon in Unity. Though it has a keyboard shortcut to achieve this, but many people either not use keyboard short cuts or more mouse savvy.
Show Desktop Icon – MyUnity utlity
MyUnity is an unofficial Unity configurator. You can install it via Ubuntu Dashboard or Ubuntu Software Center or Terminal
1) Ubuntu Dashboard
2. Ubuntu Software Center
3. Terminal
sudo apt-get install myunity
Show Desktop Icon – Keyboard Short Cut
Super Key + D ( Super key is also known as Windows Key )
Some systems it will not work. So you can customize key board short Cut
Go to Dashboard enter ‘Keyboard’. Open Keyboard.
Shortcuts –> Navigation –> Hide all normal windows and assign a shortcut you wish to. I have chosen Ctrl+Alt+M.
Some more options are available by using compiz manager, ubuntu tweak etc.
Hope Canonical will include Show Desktop Icon in Ubuntu default repository officially in future release.
