How can I resize the Unity Dash?

I am using a netbook, and I noticed that pressing the super key, which brings up the unity dash with the lenses, is a full-screen affair. I prefer the desktop version which doesn't take up all of my screen. How do I change this?

  • Type this in terminal: dconf write /com/canonical/unity/form-factor "'Desktop'" or: Use dConf editor and under com-canonical-unity select form-factor and change it to 'Desktop'. – Beernarrd Dec 20 '16 at 22:14

There's a Maximize button at the top left corner of the screen. Have you tried pressing it to unmaximize Unity Dash?

For 12.04, I would say use MyUnity, but that isn't yet available for 12.10. Instead, use Unsettings, a beta package from Florian Diesch.

You'll need the PPA to get the package:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:diesch/testing

Then update and install:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install unsettings

Launch Unsettings, then navigate to "Dash" and choose the size there.
