6.1. Customising the Desktop‌

Ubuntu and its derivatives can be customised through a Graphical User Interface or a Command Line Interface.

The graphical tools to customize the desktop are available as menu options in the System menu. Point to Pref- erences on the System menu to view the tools.

Note:

The System - Preferences menu enables users to customise their own desktop environment but not that of other users on the same computer. In contrast, applications on the System - Administration menu will make changes to the computer that will affect all users.
