backlight toggles options and icon size in ubuntu

ubuntu tweak a great tool for ubuntu and setting unity if you dont want it you can use same setting from compiz setting manager tool from control center (also note CSM is needed to install ubuntu tweak)



if you notice backlight toggles option you can do many things from size to edge elluminate ....etc

when you set it from default to something else like for example backlight toggles it give only open applications a backlight this way you know which apps are open ...... try different setting have fun.

 

one more with bigger icons to give clear look

here if you see i have 2 open apps google-chrome and ubuntu tweak they are the only one showing backlight as well arrows......

here you can change icons size launcher opacity panel opacity........etc

many thing so have fun

 

same option in compiz manager which from ubuntu repo itself

if you dont want to install ubuntu tweak

sorry for screensize i have old CRT monitor which support only 800*600 max

so i have little cut screen

 

edit one thing more i like to add the above icon theme they dont make huge difference but icons themes like these

etc

without backlight default on instead its set to off or edge illumination toggle or some other

then you get the real looks

if you notice them correctly you see all of them i set to

edge illumination toggle option

you only see a it on edge (boundary layer) and because of that option icons looks like glassy (transparent kinda)

or

else if backlight on (which is default set option)

they look UG like this
