Ubuntu Tweak 0.7.0 has been released today, bringing some important new features, especially for Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin which will be released tomorrow.

As you probably know, starting with version 0.6, Ubuntu Tweak had lost some of its main features. Well, with the latest 0.7.0, some of these features are back: App Center, Source Center (which is a PPA database that you can easily enable/disable from Ubuntu Tweak), Templates and Scripts. The Source Center comes with integrated PPA Purge feature and App Center with "Installed Apps" view:

  • Login screen (LightDM) settings for Ubuntu 12.04, including an option to disable the login screen grid
  • Global fuzzy search so you can easily find various settings in Ubuntu Tweak
  • More Unity settings and new Workspace settings
