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!

Change Background of Login Screen in uBuntu 12.10
Annoyed and bored with the same standard login screen? Here's how to turn it into one of your own images.
1. Open the Terminal
2. Type sudo -i and enter your password.
3. Type xhost +SI:localuser:lightdm
4. Type sudo su lightdm -s /bin/bash
5. Type gsettings set com.canonical.unity-greeter draw-user-backgrounds 'false'
6. Type (replacing imagelocation.jpg with the location of your chosen image) gsettings set com.canonical.unity-greeter background '/imagelocation.jpg'
1. Open the Terminal
2. Type sudo -i and enter your password.
3. Type xhost +SI:localuser:lightdm
4. Type sudo su lightdm -s /bin/bash
5. Type gsettings set com.canonical.unity-greeter draw-user-backgrounds 'false'
6. Type (replacing imagelocation.jpg with the location of your chosen image) gsettings set com.canonical.unity-greeter background '/imagelocation.jpg'
7. Type gsettings set com.canonical.unity-greeter draw-grid 'false' to remove the dotted lines uBuntu that appear.
Restart uBuntu and you should be good to go!
