Hello, I've looked a bit into this a got a few results. I have a laptop in which I can test distros and the such, helps me decide what to install in my main computer. It doesn't has the same hardware, but it's a big help.
Installed the latest version of US and looked for a few things in the internet. For the window list that also works as a dock there is DockBarX, which is great. Changed the default menu for Whisker Menu, which behaves a bit like Mint Menu. Haven't looked into my other requests, but the unfocused scroll is a must; if any of you know how to configure it please tell me. The expo view of the windows is not necessary, but it certainly is useful, specially when drag and dropping stuff around. Oh and Alt-Tab is certainly useful, a must in any good DE ;) Ah, another request. I usually turn off my PC by using a power button on my keyboard (or the actual power button of the PC), but I'd like a confirmation dialog before I actually turn it off, I also do this to easily reboot or log out. So I'd like to change the behavior of the button to show me, instead, the dialog of the Exit option in the menu. Does any of you know how to do this? I'll keep on looking around.
