How to use GNOME Tweak Tool

Appearance:

In Ubuntu, we may install new themes in a variety of methods. However, we’ll need to install the GNOME Tweaks utility if we wish to switch to the freshly installed theme. The theme and icon options may be found in the Appearance section. We may choose from a variety of themes and icons and customize them to your liking. The adjustments go into effect right away.

Extension:

These are minor ‘plugins’ for your desktop that expand the GNOME desktop’s functionality. We may use a variety of GNOME extensions to display CPU use in the top panel, see clipboard history, and so on. We’ve published a detailed article on how to install and use GNOME extensions. We will be going to presume we’re already using them, in which case we can control them via GNOME Tweaks.

Fonts:

Tweaks may be used to install new fonts and make system-wide font changes in Ubuntu. We may also modify the scale factor if you think the icons and text on your desktop are too tiny.

Keyboards & Mouse:

We may also deactivate the touchpad while typing with GNOME Tweaks. This is beneficial if we use a laptop and type quickly. When the bottom of your hand touches the touchpad, the pointer slides away from where we want it on the screen.

This issue is resolved by automatically deactivating the touchpad when typing.

Startup Applications:

From this panel, we can change the Startup Applications.

Top Bar:

A few key items are displayed on the top panel of your desktop. The calendar, network icon, system settings, and activities option are all available.

We may also show the % of the battery, add a date with the day and hour, and show week numbers. We may also activate hot corners, which will display the activities view with all active programs if we move your mouse to the top left corner of the screen.

When the mouse is focused on an application window, the menu for that window appears in the top panel. If we don’t like it, just turn it off, and the application menu will appear on the program itself.

Windows Tilebars:

In these options, we can change the “Double-Click, Middle-Click, Secondary-Click” options.

Windows:

We may choose whether or not the maximum and minimize buttons (located in the upper right corner) are shown in the program window. We may also switch their positions from left to right.

Other setup choices are also available. We don’t use them, but we’re welcome to experiment with them on our own.

Workspaces:

We may also modify a few settings regarding workspaces with the GNOME Tweaks utility.

The Gnome Tweak Tool is software that allows us to change the general appearance and behavior of components in the Gnome Desktop Environment. Simply put, Gnome Tweaks allows us to change the look and feel of your entire Ubuntu system.

GNOME Tweaks gives us greater control over our GUI than the default GNOME settings do. Fonts, title bar clicking actions, workspace settings, and much more will be editable.
