Is there some place to adjust preferences for unity other than CCSM?

Question

For instance my mounted volumes don't show up in unity. I am guessing I can turn this on somewhere.

Also I am guessing there is a way to add a custom launcher to Unity that is totally obvious but somehow is escaping me.

Is there an actual manual for Unity?

Can you split this off into other questions? Some of these are duplicates and the system works best when there's one question per post. — Jorge Castro, Apr 25 '11 at 22:36

There is no actual manual for Unity yet but Tips & Tricks for Unity is a good place to start.

Also as Jorge said most of these questions have been asked and answered before here so do a search for Unity and you should get the info you need.

There is simple-ccsm too. The volumes showing on the desktop is nothing to do with compiz. You control that in gconf-editor. This will point you to the item to enable: http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2007/10/25/hide-partition-icons-from-your-ubuntu-desktop/

You can still use gconf-edit to make some changes. It was the only place I could find to remove text from the icon bars. It appears that Gnome is still in there somewhere. There is also a beta version of Ubuntu Tweak just for Natty you may also be interested in.
