+Be Delighted! Unity Teases Version 7.7 as the Sign of Active Development
+======
+
+Unity 7.7 update plans to bring in some visual overhaul to the desktop environment.
+
+![Be Delighted! Unity Teases Version 7.7 as the Sign of Active Development][1]
+
+Unity, the classic desktop environment, a part of Ubuntu from 2010 to 2017, is all set to receive a big new release. You can expect it to release sometime in 2023, but there is no concrete release date yet.
+
+But not by [Canonical][2].
+
+**If you did not know:** The development of Unity was taken over by a young developer, [Rudra Saraswat][3], who is also the creator of [Ubuntu Unity][4], an official flavor of Ubuntu.
+
+In a recent [blog post][5], Rudra showed us a sneak peek of Unity 7.7 and the various improvements that are set to come.
+
+Let me take you through those.
+
+### Unity 7.7: What To Expect?
+
+![unity 7.7 sneak peek][6]
+
+The sneak peek has revealed quite a few things, these include:
+
+- **Updated Welcome App**
+- **UWidgets**
+- **Improved Dash**
+- **Panel Tweaks**
+- **Enhanced Notification Indicators**
+
+#### Updated Welcome App
+

+
+A new welcome app will be introduced to Unity, based on a prototype developed by the Ubuntu Flutter Community (written in [Flutter][8]).
+
+The app will not be limited to just one distro, but will be available for all the distros supported by Unity.
+
+#### UWidgets
+

+
+Finally, widgets on the Unity desktop? Like KDE?
+
+Well, the introduction of widgets to Unity, written in Python, should be straightforward to set up (only a matter of copying a few files).
+
+The screenshot showcases a bunch of widgets, such as a clock, a system monitor, a widget for Spotify, and more.
+
+That is not all, Rudra also mentions that:
+
+> We’ll be setting up a web store/repository for UWidgets, where you can either submit your own widgets, or download and try out all those amazing widgets on Unity 7.7.
+
+This should make it easier for users to find and download widgets!
+
+#### Improved Dash
+

+
+The dash has also been refreshed with a new design based on Unity 7's original design concepts (before Canonical dropped it).
+
+As per the screenshot, it should not take a lot of screen space and still be useful.
+
+#### Panel Tweaks
+
+![unity 7.7 sneak peek panels][11]
+
+The panel is now slightly bigger and more refined than the previous iteration.
+
+#### Enhanced Notification Indicators
+
+![unity 7.7 sneak peek notification indicators][12]
+
+This comes in as a huge usability improvement to Unity; users can now finally take advantage of a proper notification indicator.
+
+It will display essential notifications related to your apps, system and more.
+
+#### Other Changes
+
+![ubuntu unity control center][13]
+
+Some more useful technical improvements include:
+
+- **The unity-control-center shell UI has been improved.**
+- **The default panel opacity was reduced to 0.75.**
+- **The default launcher icon size has been reduced.**
+- **Launcher BFB (Ubuntu icon) was replaced with a half-transparent icon, similar to the Ubuntu Unity 21.04 launcher BFB.**
