[Test case] This should apply naturally to a (virtual-)machine with no hardware acceleration or There are multiple ways to force low-gfx mode: 1) Add an upstart job such as: cat << EOF > ~/.config/upstart/lowgfx.conf start on starting unity7 pre-start script #initctl set-env --global UNITY_LOW_GFX_MODE=1 initctl set-env --global LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 end script EOF 2) Run unity with: COMPIZ_CONFIG_PROFILE=ubuntu-lowgfx On login unity should use opaque views (dash, switcher, launcher, shortcut-dialogs) with no fading and reduced effects. Windows should also use smaller shadows. [Regression potential] Some settings from unity-control-center couldn't be applied to normal profile. Low graphics mode might be used as normal one.
