In fact the thing that caught my eye was that many of my icons (particularly Spotify and Banshee) in my normally beautifully clear Unity sidebar looked slightly off - that is a little pixelated and a bit rough.

How to Fix Ugly/Pixelated Unity Icons in 15.04
The first thing I noticed upon upgrading to 15.04 wasn't positive.
In fact the thing that caught my eye was that many of my icons (particularly Spotify and Banshee) in my normally beautifully clear Unity sidebar looked slightly off - that is a little pixelated and a bit rough.

After a little browse online, I discovered that I wasn't the only person to have had this problem and that thankfully this problem was patched in a Unity update.
What I did to fix this issue was re-install the package: unity - 7.3.2+15. 10.20151016-0ubuntu1 via the synaptic package manager.
I then restarted Unity via:
sudo service lightdm restart
To find my icons were all back to their original good-looking selves!

Make Icon Sizes Specific to Folders
Recently I've found that I've wanted to change the default icon size in one specific folder purely for aesthetic reasons (I have custom icons that I want to see full size every time).
Unfortunately I've not been able to do it in Nautilus as when you change the default size... it changes it universally, not just for the one folder which is what I want.
The good news is it does work in Nemo, an alternative file browser which is available from the software centre.
Or in terminal:
Even if you're not interested in folder specific icon sizes, I've always found its helpful to have a secondary browser just in case.
